Hotels near Makalali Game Reserve

"Had a last minute stay here when my mother in law needed emergency care at the hospital. It’s really the only option when you need to check in last minute and after 10 pm. I can’t say enough about how lovely, accomodating and patient the front desk staff were. The grounds are Lovely, beds super comfy and pools very refreshing. We usually stay in smaller bush b and b’s in Hoedspruit. But if you’re looking for a more luxurious resort style break this place is top notch. "

"Amazing, they organized 2 game drives each day, It rained a bit on the first and they provided raincoats for us. The meals are lovely! Would recommend , we saw lots of animals, a wonderful visit! "

"Excellent staff, wonderful room, comfortable bed, beautiful setting."

"The food was excellent and we saw the big 5 plus much more wildlife. Sidney, our guide was knowledgeable and made extra efforts when we asked him to see different things. Thank you Milima!"

"The host was spectacular and the staff kind and helpful. Loved the Safari decor in the great hall. The rooms were really nice, good mini fridge, great tub and separate shower. The breakfast was delicious! Location was great- and secured entry onto the estate. Great place to walk about and see wild warthogs, kudu, steenbok and monkeys. It was a perfect spot to be to drive to all the animal places (endangered species center, Jessica the hippo, the elephant sanctuary/orphanage and the wildlife rehab center). Highly recommend! "

"A very warm welcome from the team.The tent was cosy, as was the bed on the cold nights. Great to hear the local animals during the night, with wonderful day visits from the ellies."

"The lodge is perfect for a stay in Hoedspruit; with an easy drive to Kruger Park. The wildlife come to within meters of the garden which makes for exciting and interesting viewing from your patio. The hosts Sue and Deon will do everything they can to make your stay wonderful. Would definitely recommend. "
