Ons het die Lodge al 2 keer besoek. Wat 'n "awesome" ondervinding. Al die personeel was so vriendelik en behulpsaam. Ons het baie geleer van die bos. Daar was genoeg tyd om ander mense te ontmoed, bietjie gesin tyd in te ruim en net lekker ontspan. Jy is soos 'n koning behandel. Baie dankie Makalali, julle is die beste.

Hi All. It was an absolute blast the time we stayed at Makalali - Tandane Camp. The reception from Donald and his team was the best that we have ever experienced. The Game Ranger team - Shadrack and Lazarus really made our four days an experience that we will cherish for ever. Please can you also thank Donald and his "Tandane Team" for their excellent service and warm hospitality. I must say that we left with a sad heart to say goodbye ... to everyone ... We will return in the future for because of the great people and obviously the great place. Regards and once again thanks for the great experience. Pieter & Erna Venter
