Makakatana Bay Lodge is a proud member of Classic Safari Camps of Africa, an association of independent, privately run camps and lodges in some of the most impressive wildlife areas of southern and eastern Africa.

A whole host of wonderful experiences await you at Makakatana Bay Lodge. It is the only private lodge in the middle of a huge nature reserve and located on the shore of Africa's largest tidal lake area. From here, you can visit the nearby 25,000 year old forested dunes, which are among the highest in the world.

"Off the beaten path" - that's how you can describe a visit to Makakatana Bay Lodge, because this luxury lodge offers attractions you won't find anywhere else. For example, take a boat safari in the iSimangaliso Wetland Park through a section to which only Makakatana Bay Lodge’s boats have access. Hippos, crocodiles, waterbucks, reedbucks, kudus, and a birdlife of more than 500 species populate the nature along the banks. During the wildlife observation drives in open jeeps, the experienced rangers track a variety of big and small game.

Or take a picnic basket to the beaches of Makakatana Bay. Swim or dive in the warm tides of the Indian Ocean and enjoy a cozy picnic on the paradisiacal beach sand.

Each of the six rooms has a separate bathroom with shower and toilet, an outdoor shower, and a private terrace from which you will have a wonderful view.
