Morning and Evening Game Drives
Makalali Private Game Reserve, South Africa
Discover Africa’s untouched wilderness.
What to expect
Our game drives take you on an unforgettable guided experience — an opportunity to “explore the unknown” as you seek out the elusive Big Five and take in the wonder of indigenous species that roam freely in their natural habitat, sustained under our conservation management practices. Our guides go beyond main roads, navigating dense bush to explore sights otherwise unseen. Here, in the midst of the Greater Makalali Private Game Reserve, you may find yourself moved by the vastness of the landscape, contrasting features displayed in nature and the serenity of your surroundings as the sun signals the start of a new day or sinks beneath the horizon.
