About this itinerary.
Embark on a 5-day fly-in, all-inclusive Makanyi Safari for an unforgettable wildlife adventure. From Johannesburg airport, you'll be whisked away to Makanyi Private Game Lodge, where luxury awaits. Indulge in daily game drives led by expert trackers, exploring the African bush in search of the Big Five and other magnificent wildlife.
Day 1: Arriving at Makanyi Private Game Lodge
Fly in from Johannesburg airport and meet your representative who will transfer you to Makanyi Private Game Lodge. Upon arrival at the lodge, settle into your luxury pool suite. Prepare for an afternoon game drive with your trained tracker and guide before enjoying dinner under the stars.
