I am very grateful to the wonderful family at Make, you are really upbeat and eager to see you again someday! Its not a customary habit to review a location on Ta, but every now and then I find something exceptional that deserves it. A tiny golden nugget hidden away near covens of kin makes a truly authentic bush experience. Without having to travel for numerous hours, it offers a truly authentic bush experience. The reserve is beautifully maintained, the animals happy and healthy. There isnt anything better than having an afternoon beer while driving a game drive or waking up in the morning and sharing your coffee with a couple of rhinos. The staff was competent, courteous, and very helpful. The facilities were spotless, and the cuisine was simply exceptional! I have a picky eater, but only the finest cuts were used.

I rarely review a location on Ta. But occasionally, I will discover something remarkable that demands it. Make private game reserve is a tiny piece of land tucked away by village kin. Without having to travel for hours, it provides a genuine bush experience. The animals are happy and healthy, and the preserve is beautifully maintained. Nothing beats a morning beer while traveling on a game drive, or waking up in the morning and sharing your coffee with a couple of rhinos. The staff was courteous, professional, and very kind. The food was simply outstanding, and the facilities were immaculate! I prefer the finest cuts, but only the finest cuts were used. In summary, a big thank you to the wonderful family at Make, your enthusiasm is unending, and I can't wait to see you again sometime soon!.

We spent 3 nights at Make Safari Lodge as part of our vacation in South Africa. After a long journey, the lovely family who runs the lodge gave us a warm welcome and took excellent care of us. The comfiest bed we've ever slept in, the serene game drives, and the surprise of seeing giraffes, elephants, and even rhinos in the lodge garden were all excellent. This is a new venture that deserves every success. We'd be delighted to return and wholeheartedly suggest it to others. The surrounding area is well known for its military history, so you may combine viewing the animals with visiting them if it's also a military mystery.

Two night stay with three game drives. Sadly missed the elephants and rhino but plenty more to see on each trip. Nice room and food great. Excellent hospitality.
