Introduction

Makweti Safari Lodge is situated within the Welgevonden Game Reserve which shares a border with the Marakele National Park. The region is home to the big five and offers spectacular scenery of rolling grasslands and rugged mountains which were once the hunting grounds of the late Stone Age San people.

The lodge can accommodate twelve guests in the stone and thatch luxury suites with en-suite facilities. Makweti's main lodge is built into a natural rock formation in the Waterberg Mountains and boasts teak decks overlooking the Makweti Gorge.The lodge has a well stocked library and a zebra bar. Candlelit gourmet dinners are enjoyed in the formal dining-room or under the star-studded night sky in the boma alongside a flickering campfire. The cuisine is outstanding and reflects a tasteful fusion of exotic spices or the ancient trade routes.
