Makumu Private Game Lodge: Comfort and Adventure for the Whole Family

Family getaways are a time for quality time together. It’s the time when the set routine of daily life is stored away to make time for precious memories and even more precious adventures. Game reserves have long since been favourite destinations for families who love exploring the great outdoors, and Limpopo offers families a treasure trove of privately owned nature reserves. The Klaserie Private Nature Reserve is one of the largest nature reserves in South Africa, offering thrilling Big Five adventures. Within this grand reserve spanning 60,000 hectares, Makumu Private Game Lodge is a special oasis for family fun.

Enjoy a Family-Friendly Adventure at Makumu Private Game Lodge

Perched on a hill and surrounded by unspoilt landscapes, the lodge welcomes families with a sense of space and place. At Makumu Private Game Lodge, families can make the most out of their fun getaway in one of the six luxurious suites. These spacious suites can accommodate a total of 12 guests, allowing families to enjoy their getaways without the constant bustle of big cities and the chaos of crowded attractions.

Each of the six luxurious suites provides parents and children with a unique combination of comfort, style, and privacy during their getaway.

While the three King Suites are more suited for couples with their fixed king-size beds and no option for twin beds, smaller families could make the room work. The suite’s interior has been inspired by the three main African tribes of the area, being the Bushman, Ndebele, and Zulu, and parents will find comfort in the small items of the room, such as the mosquito nets, ceiling fans, and coffee machine. The suite also features a wooden deck with a hammock and views of the surrounding landscapes.

In the three Impi Suites, quality family time is a guarantee. Parents and their little ones can expect a spacious room for their getaway. The sitting area makes for the perfect spot for game nights or sharing stories while parents sip on fresh coffee.

At Makumu, children aged eight and older are welcome when booking individual rooms, while families of all ages can be accommodated when booking the lodge on an exclusive-use basis.
