Description
Exclusively situated in the middle of the proclaimed 'Greater St Lucia Wetland Park' Reserve, with the largest marine lake in Africa, Makakatana remains the only privately owned Lodge set within this pristine 'World
Heritage Site'.
The land on which the Lodge lies has been owned by the Morrison Family since the 1930's. Here the glorious, unspoiled Wetland, provides an undeniable attraction to lovers of wild life.
Hugging the banks of the lake, this 12 bed luxury Lodge welcomes you to an elegantly decorated 'home from home'. Private, air-conditioned suites are splashed with a mixture of Eastern and African Interior styles. While three sides of the suites are lined with glass doors , one has the option of flinging them aside keeping the insect screens closed to deter any nasties who may feel sociable during the night! The architecture is simply stunning, a feel for nature and the outdoors is carried into the bathrooms where one can lie back and watch the moon and stars through the glass roofed ceiling At night there is a change of atmosphere as soft lights line the boardwalks linking the suites. A quick cocktail from the well-stocked bar
fridge prepares you for the evening feasts. An interconnecting walkway leads you to a private camouflaged bush pool that allows you to sit, unnoticed as you watch the wildlife on and around the Lake.
Enjoy a private, quiet holiday relaxing at the lodge, or indulge in the wildlife, wetland and beach splendours. Lake St Lucia supports 367 bird species of which there are only a few places in Africa that support such a concentration of birdlife.
Experience the captivating Wetlands by boat and seek out hippo, crocodile, birds and wildlife or visit the world famous BIG 5 'Hluhluwe-Umfolozi' Game Reserve.
Makakatana will take you to the golden, unpolluted coastal beaches flanked by some of the highest dune forests in the world. The virtually untouched beaches and pristine waters have the only turtle breeding grounds and tropical coral reefs in the subcontinent. Here you can snorkel, swim and take long walks on the undiscovered beaches of Cape Vidal. Enjoy a picnic lunch while the waves cool your feet and soak up the African sun! In season humpbacked whales, graceful whale sharks and schools of dolphin may be seen.
