Makumu Private Game Lodge

We were absolutely blown away by the beauty, hospitality, extensive knowledge, service, passion for nature, and attention to detail we found at Makumu Lodge. The staff went out of their way to make sure our experience was exceptional– accommodating specific dietary requests, taking the time to educate & answer a myriad of questions about the wildlife, and even providing a once-in-a-lifetime unique candle lit dinner in the bush for our final evening– truly unforgettable. We loved the intimate, more “boutique” style charm of Makumu. Eating dinner under the stars with the staff every evening after the night drives was a highlight, not to mention the most obvious takeaway, which was the deep respect for the breath taking beauty of the animals we encountered daily. It was a life changing experience that we can’t recommend enough.

Makumu is in an exclusive league of its own. The location, the lodge, the incredible staff delivering unrivaled service. The game drives are exceptional as you are “alone” allowing you to spend real time with the animals without being disturbed by the next jeep coming up behind you. We are return guests and took friends with us for their first visit and they absolutely loved the Makumu experience

Best place we've been to, ever! Friendly staff, great service, made us feel special, nice game drives, saw the big 5 in 2 drives. helped me with my proposal, did everything they could and more. 10/10 recommendation!!
