MAKALALI PRIVATE GAME RESERVE
Limpopo
|
| With
the
blushing
sky as
its
canopy,
our
Land Rovers
wound
through
a web of
sounds
and
smells.
Something
in my
soul
stirred...
I
recognised
the
creative
spirit
of a
thousand
years of
African
craftsmen.
The
Reserve,
founded
in 1992,
is today
a 22 000
hectares
conservancy
with
habitat
including
Lowveld
Acacia
bush and
open
savannah
grassland
and all
surrounding
the lush
river. |
| Four
twelve-bed
camps
have
been
built
along
shady
banks of
the
river.
Each
camp
offers
luxury
accommodation
and
consists
of six
spacious
guest
huts,
each
with a
large
bedroom
and
bathroom
en-suite
and an
adjacent
day room
or "sala"
built on
stilts
nestled
in the
branches
of
Jackelberry
trees
that are
ideal
for
relaxed
game
viewing
or
meditation.
Additionally,
each
camp has
it's own
uniquely
designed
swimming
pool,
boma,
and
enclosed
dining
and
lounge
area.
Makalali's
hand
crafted
camps
have
been
custom
designed
to
restore
a sense
of
personal
connection
with
nature. |

Considered
one of
the
leading
pioneers
in
ecotourism
in South
Africa,
Makalali
represents
a
conservation
mission
to
expand
South
Africa's
green
frontier
by
re-establishing
the
ancient
traditional
wildlife
migration
routes
that
linked
the
famous
Kruger
Park in
the east
to lush
Drakensberg
Mountains
in the
west. In
the
process
lion,
cheetah,
leopard,
and
breeding
herds of
elephant,
rhino,
and the
rare
sable
antelope
have all
been
reintroduced
to the
wild,
making
Makalali
home to
over one
thousand
wild
animals
including
four of
Africa's
"Big
Five"
wildlife
species. |
