~ Lake st Lucia ~ Kwazulu-Natal ~ South Africa ~

Situated in unrivaled exclusivity within the proclaimed Greater st Lucia Wetland Park Reserve, the largest marine lake in Africa, Makakatana remains the only privately owned lodge in this pristine World Heritage Site. The setting is a magnificent combination of lake estuary, forest, dunes, wetlands, coral reef waters and savannah thornveld. Five luxury suites are tucked away beneath the dense overhang of sand forest. Tasteful furnishings create a restful fusion of Afro-Eastem design.

The wetlands and wildlife splendors invite a two or three-night stay. Experience an early morning mokoro safari into the breathtaking Wetland Channels and through meandering waterways to bird-inhabited islands. Lake st Lucia supports over 550 bird species, an exceptionally high concentration of birdlife matched by few places in Africa. Enjoy Hippo and Crocodile safaris and day trips to golden beaches flanked by some of the highest dune forests in the world. Here you may swim, snorkel and appreciate the beautiful waters, the turtle breeding grounds and tropical coral reefs. The nearby Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Game Reserve offers excellent Big Five game viewing.
