ACTIVITIES:

To get even closer to your surroundings, game walks are offered in place of, or in addition to, the game drives. Armed and experienced rangers will lead you along game paths, in the footsteps of the animals, allowing you to experience the thrill of walking through this wild environment. Walking will allow you to appreciate the stillness, the quiet and the beauty of the African bush and to examine the sights and sounds less obvious from a vehicle.
Feeling adventurous? Somehow reluctant to surrender to the luxury of your suite? Makanyane offers guests the ultimate nocturnal bush experience - sleeping out under Africa's stars surrounded by the sounds of the bush, unobstructed by walls and roofs.
