Straddling an area of some 15000 sq kilometres in the Limpopo Province, the Waterberg is unmatched in its beauty. From soaring craggy mountain heights on the southern escarpment with the Seven Sisters guarding the northern grasslands, to the eastern buttresses of spectacular rock formations rising out of sheer emptiness - within this wonderland, Makweti Safari Lodge finds its home

The five individual stone and thatch suites combine the elegance of the past with all essential modern conveniences. Each suite has a sense of seclusion offering indoor and outdoor showers; a Victorian bathtub and warm log fires for cool winter evenings. Each suite offers spectacular vistas of the African bushveld. Candlelit gourmet dinners are served in a formal dining room, or on the deck overlooking the Makweti Gorge or under a starry night sky in the boma by a flickering campfire. Makweti’s cuisine reflects an artful fusion of exotic spices of ancient trade routes, home made soups, game meats and a wide assortment of health conscious choices. Fine South African estate wines from our cellars and exquisite desserts complement every dinner.

Makweti offers 38 000 hectares of highveld woodland savannah.  The undulating landscape is home to a diversity of game seldom-encountered on safari in Southern Africa.  16 species of antelope, including sable, gemsbok and eland– the largest collection of privately owned white rhino – lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant and the spectacular elegance of the cheetah. The endangered brown hyena is often encountered, as well as the rare aard wolf.
