This intimate lodge exudes the grace and charm of a bygone era. Named after the giant makweti trees that dominate the landscape, Makweti Safari Lodge is surrounded by pristine wilderness and the Indaba Lounge has been positioned to overlook a natural waterhole.

Makweti’s fine dining and excellent wines please even the most discerning palate. It is a member of Chaîne des Rôtisseurs for culinary excellence and candlelit gourmet dinners are served in the formal dining room or boma.

Five elegant thatch-and-stone suites make up Makweti. Each secluded haven is individually decorated with antique treasures and plush furnishings, to ensure complete comfort. Every one also flows on to a private deck, with inviting views of the wilderness beyond, and has a romantic clawfoot Victorian bathtub. The king-size beds can be divided into twins.

Four of the five suites have private plunge pools.
