Were thrilled to share some wonderful news. Makanyane Safari Lodge, a long-time favourite for safari-goers, will reopen as Last Word Makanyane from July 1, 2026.
Makanyane has always had a special kind of magic with a sense of seclusion, a true connection to the bush and the feeling that youve found a rare pocket of calm in the wild. Now, we are giving this much-loved lodge the Last Word makeover and breathing new life into it through thoughtful enhancements, refreshed spaces and the warm, intuitive hosting that turns a beautiful place into a stay people talk about for years.
Set in Madikwe on the eastern side of the reserve, Last Word Makanyane sits on privately owned land just 20 minutes from the Eastern Airstrip.
