Spa

Spa Facilities

The well-equipped gym and the bush spa are just the places to work up an appetite, or to just pamper yourself.

Activities, Sports & Leisure

Game Drives or Walking Safaris

The Madikwe's 75,000-hectare environment allows guests to experience the bush on either foot or in an open vehicle. Watch the wildlife, oblivious to your presence, from one of our bush hides overlooking a waterhole or facing plains that stretch to the horizon. The walks allow you to appreciate the stillness, the quiet and the beauty of the African bush and to examine the sights and sound less obvious from a vehicle.

Camping out

Guests can sleep out under Africa's stars surrounded by the sounds of the bush, unobstructed by walls and roofs. Beds can be made up on the upper deck of a hide in the bush, next to a waterhole.

Gym

Makanyane features a fully equipped, air-conditioned gym for guests to work up an appetite.

Spa treatments

The bush spa is the place to pamper yourself and offers guests massage or aromatherapy treatments. Alternatively, the beauty therapist can treat you on the private deck connected to your room.

Available Rooms

Suite

Rich African textures abound in each guest suite; walls of natural rock and dried tree trunks merge with rough teak doors and contrast with the overhanging thatch. The glass-walled bedroom suites allow uninterrupted views of the river and the surrounding bush.

The open-fronted lounge at the Makanyane Safari Lodge in Madikwe with its private sundeck is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of the untamed African bush.

The bathrooms feature under-floor heating as well as indoor and outdoor showers. The full, folding doors can be opened to allow the sounds and scents of the surrounding bush to join guests in the luxurious freestanding bathtub.

Furthermore, the guest suites at the Lodge offer fireplaces, overhead fans and are fully air-conditioned and heated. The rooms also have a telephone, hot beverage making facilities, mini safe and a bar fridge. Bathrobes, hairdryers, insect repellent, body and sun lotion, soap as well as shampoo and conditioner are all provided.
