THE HOME OF ENDLESS VIEWS

We absolutely LOVED our stay at Makumu. When we were searching for lodges – we knew we wanted a lodge that limited the number of guests because we wanted that more intimate experience. The staff is phenomenal – from the house staff to the guides and trackers – everyone was personable and made you feel at home in the beautiful lodge. All the meals and snacks were 5 star! We felt spoiled at every turn – morning coffee time and sundowners on the games drives were such a special extra touch. We had fabulous experiences on the game drives – our tracker, Richard and guide Adrien were knowledgeable and gave us many up close viewings of wildlife. This was such a memorable trip for us. I would not hesitate to recommend choosing Makumu for a safari vacation. – Matthew & Tracy
