Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Makalali Game Reserve?
The best area to stay in Makalali Game Reserve is within the reserve itself, as it's a private wildlife area, and accommodation options are primarily limited to lodges operating within its boundaries.

The reserve is characterised by its expansive bushveld, riverine forests, and open savannas, providing a rich habitat for a wide variety of wildlife. Lodges are strategically located to offer guests excellent game-viewing opportunities, often near waterholes or along riverbeds. Each lodge typically operates as a self-contained unit, offering accommodation, meals, and guided safari activities.

For couples seeking an intimate and exclusive safari experience, many lodges within Makalali offer luxurious suites with private plunge pools, outdoor showers, and secluded viewing decks. These lodges often focus on providing a romantic setting, with personalised service and fine dining experiences under the stars. The emphasis is on undisturbed wildlife encounters and relaxation in a tranquil setting.

Families travelling with children will find lodges that cater specifically to their needs, often featuring family suites or interleading rooms. These lodges typically offer tailored activities like junior ranger programmes, guided bush walks suitable for younger guests, and communal areas designed for family interaction.
When is the best time to go to Makalali Game Reserve?
The best time to go to Makalali Game Reserve is during the dry season, which runs from May to October.

During these months, the bushveld vegetation is sparse, making it much easier to spot wildlife as animals congregate around the remaining water sources like the Makalali River. The weather is generally clear and sunny, with cooler mornings and evenings, making for comfortable safari drives. This period is particularly good for families as the lower chance of rain means fewer disruptions to planned activities, and the cooler temperatures are more pleasant for younger children.

Couples looking for an intimate safari experience will also appreciate the dry season. The clear skies are great for stargazing, and the reduced vegetation can lead to more dramatic animal sightings, enhancing the sense of adventure and connection with nature.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
