Makumu Private Game Lodge is lit by 300 candles after dark, which says a good deal about its style.
It stands on a hill in the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, with open views over the bushveld, and takes no more than 12 guests. The 6 suites, 3 King Suites and 3 Impi Suites, are themed in pairs around Bushman, Ndebele and Zulu culture. Besides game drives and walking safaris there is a photographic bunker, a hide beside a windmill and a bush cinema. Massages, stargazing and wine tasting fill the quieter hours.
