Makanyi lodge itself provides a graceful yet unobtrusive sanctuary of calm that goes a long way to rival the enchantment of the bush which embraces it. Seven enormous suites and one sumptuous family suite blend seamlessly into their environment and offer the space and time to fully unwind; be that by relaxing on your suite’s deck with panoramic views of the bush and our active dam, curling up before a roaring fire in the evening chill or soaking up the aura in a glorious pedestal bath.

The deck at Makanyi is superbly situated with stunning views of the dam, allowing you to unwind and watch amazing wildlife scenes unfold before your eyes. It is a lovely area to either relax on your own and take in the beauty of your surroundings or to socialise with others and share stories about your sightings.

The sun loungers around the pool are perfect for sunbathing, reading or dozing off, while the cosy loft serves as a quiet reading area or lounge to enjoy TV or a movie.

Wilderness Little Vumbura is nestled on a picturesque island in a private concession in Botswana’s northern Okavango Delta.

Mokoro and boat rides are popular activities and allow for spectacular wildlife spotting. Unforgettable adventures await all who come to visit this remote corner of the Delta. Activities include day and night game drives tracking the iconic wildlife, and water safaris by traditional mokoro, silently gliding through the channels. Boating adventures are also a family favourite, spotting elephants wading through the water, or wallowing pods of hippos. Guests may also want to try their hand at catch-and-release fishing.

The largest number of employees within our Botswana operations are employed from these five villages. The annually inundated grasslands of the Okavango Delta surrounding the camp are locally referred to as melapo, and offer good seasonal viewing of elephants, giraffes, impala, sable antelope, kudu, zebras, common waterbuck, reedbuck, tsessebe, wildebeest, red lechwe, and Cape buffalos. Hippos, and crocodiles abound in the waterways. Predators include the African wild dog, resident prides of lions, as well as leopard, cheetah, and African wildcat. Birding is exceptional all year round on game drives through the savannah areas, and guided nature walks around the islands. An enchanting camp set on a compact island in the permanent waters of the Okavango Delta. Its six airy tented suites, shaded by the canopy of an ancient forest, sit on raised decks overlooking annually inundated grasslands. Each well-appointed tent, decorated in soft neutral hues with touches of indigo, has en-suite facilities, and a deck with sweeping vistas over the shimmering grasses of the surrounding floodplains. In the main area, a plunge pool and reading area overlook the floodplains, while a Star Deck is reached by a bridge leading off the dining area. This traditional and intimate safari camp is only accessible by boat and is perfect for a family or small group of friends.

Internal flights are available at a discounted rates from R2,846 per person per leg for SADC residents. HIGHLIGHTS A sublime location in the far north of Botswana's iconic Okavango Delta – a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the largest inland delta on Earth. Finest multi-purpose concession for year-round thrilling wildlife encounters on land and water. The beauty of the floodplains, deep waterways, and riverine and island woodlands, as well as productive, dry interior, are explored through an extensive range of activities: day and night game drives, nature walks, boating, and mokoro. Rich wildlife: numerous antelope species and predators (lion prides, African wild dogs, leopards and occasionally cheetahs, and raptors). OUR TIPS: Marvel at the sheer size of a buffalo herd, (hundreds-strong) moving between islands.

Buffalo Ridge Safari Lodge Game Lodge in the Madikwe Game Reserve 1/8 Location Madikwe Game Reserve, North West Province, South Africa Madikwe Game Reserve is currently the country's fourth largest game reserve and home to the Big 5 and a host of other game. DESCRIPTION: Buffalo Ridge Safari Lodge is situated on the Tweedepoort Ridge overlooking the plains and inselbergs of the western section of Madikwe Game Reserve. Buffalo Ridge Safari Lodge is a 16-bed luxury facility designed by Nick Plewman, an acclaimed small lodge designer. The lodge is situated at a prime site in the west of the Madikwe Game Reserve, straddling the Tweedepoort Ridge with expansive views across the northern plains and Inselbergs. The central lodge sits on the slopes of a hill across a ravine, separating it from the chalets. Each of the chalets is positioned on the ridge with expansive views to the north. The main lodge is spectacularly located on two tiers of the ridge and is accessed via a wooden bridge that crosses a ravine surrounded by rock figs. Each of the living areas has its own character, mood and style providing guests with a choice of breathtaking views and tranquil spaces. The other stand-out about Buffalo Ridge is its intimacy and seclusion. With only eight suites in total, there’s a very definite feeling of exclusivity to the lodgings, and as the chalets are built on a separate tier to the main lodge you get a distinctive feeling of having your very own personal suite right in the bush. Each chalet follows this theme of making you feel like a VIP: these thatched suites each have their own private viewing deck. The rooms themselves are spacious and neat with simple and quite rustic décor touches. Thatch roofing and soft sandy tones work beautifully with the set rock inlay of the walls and the chalet’s authentic indigenous wooden counters and pillars to inspire a feeling of being a part of nature. This feeling is underscored by the design’s focus on openness and airiness: sliding doors open out fully on to a deck with seating where you can relax and admire the views; the walk-in showers also add to this feeling of spaciousness. EXCELLENT GAME VIEWING The game-viewing at Buffalo Ridge is superb, much like most safari lodges in Madikwe – but what makes Buffalo Ridge different are the rangers. Locally sourced and trained from the community, they show an obvious love for this, their home. The Big Five are all present and accounted for, as well as plains game (zebra and antelope in droves!), and none of them escape the professionalism eye and bush skill of your guides. These rangers – in fact, all the staff – show a keen knowledge of local flora, fauna and history. Whether you want to know more about the elephant herd you just saw or about what the history of the Balete tribe is, you’ll always be able to find an interesting answer, delivered with a smile. As an added bonus, the Madikwe reserve is utterly free from malaria which is a big plus for families especially. Speaking of which, Buffalo Ridge is a lodge where kids are genuinely welcome!

The suites might be great, but the whole experience is then backed up by the superb personal service and hospitality offered by the Tambuti team (you’ll probably even get a greeting from Hibou, the lodge’s hand-reared spotted eagle owl!) –check out the Tripadvisor reviews and you’ll see that the guests consistently rave about the staff and management of Tambuti! Those rave reviews also extend to the food and dining experience at Tambuti and the lodge tries to keep things fresh and varied – one night you might be dining by candlelight on the deck next to the swimming pool, the next you’ll be enjoying a braai around the fire in the boma under the stars; if you fancy something especially romantic you could end having an intimate set-up on your own private deck! The game viewing doesn’t disappoint either. The area around the lodge is characterized by a huge number of tamboti trees which results in regular sightings of the shy and scarce black rhino. These trees also play host to an incredibly wide variety of bird species thus making the area a birding paradise. The reserve is positioned between the dry Kalahari and the wetter Lowveld so you get a mix of game, tree and bird species that would never be found cohabiting in another area. Because of this, the species here are incredibly varied and unique from other reserves within Southern Africa – in fact it's home to over 354 different animal species native to Southern Africa, including the Big Five, the endangered wild dog and other rarer species such as Roan, Tsessebe and Sable antelope. You'll also likely have the pleasure of seeing buffalo on regular occasions as they often take shelter in these more remote areas that are not accessible to public visitors in the park. At Tambuti you can view all the Pilanesberg has to offer on morning and late afternoon game drives in an open 4 x4 game vehicle with an expert ranger (note that off-roading is not allowed in pursuit of sightings) You can also enjoy interpretive guided bush walks (remember to pack those comfy shoes) offering the bird watcher, botanist and the nature enthusiast the ultimate bush experience - the walk itself is relaxed and the experienced ranger uses his vast knowledge of the bush to identify and explain many of the hidden secrets!
