Bush showers and sleepouts in Little Garonga

Situated to the west of Kruger National Park, Makalali Private Game Reserve is a trailblazer in South African ecotourism, encompassing 25,000 hectares and serving as a refuge for some of the nation’s most renowned wildlife, including the Big Five.  Little Garonga Safari Camp features merely three beautiful and rustic chalets, allowing guests to explore the reserve with minimal disturbance.

Serenity prevails in this reserve, where the sole communications you will receive are from nature.  Literally meaning “place of rest,” this is exactly what travelers seek in Makalali, whether through extended wilderness hikes, game drives, sleepouts under the stars, or massage and reflexology sessions in the Sala.

The three Suites of Little Garonga are situated around the main lodge, which includes eating facilities, lounge spaces, and a swimming pool.  The Hambleden is perfect for small families, including two bedrooms, a magnificent en-suite bathroom, indoor and outdoor lounges, a private swimming pool, a minibar, and a raised deck.  The Chiltern and the Buckingham are perfect for couples and feature a complete en-suite and an outdoor shower.
