Makakatana Bay Lodge is the only privately owned safari lodge set on the banks of Lake St Lucia within the iSimangaliso Wetland Park World Heritage Site, the heart of Africa's largest natural estuary.

The Isimangaliso Wetland park World Heritage Site is one of the few natural wonders left on earth where there are unspoilt wilderness beaches, vast wetlands and game reserves all combined into one reserve.

Makakatana Bay Lodge is a 4 Star property which is situated within the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, World Heritage Site, Zululand, KwaZulu Natal in South Africa. The lodge is privately set in a dune forest, where it is hidden just meters away from the waters edge of the banks of the Lake St Lucia.

Makakatana offers visitors an unforgettable KwaZulu-Natal safari experience with its luxury game viewing suites and excellent service.

Guests are accommodated in 6 bright and spacious suites. Three of these are set in the dune forest and are frequented by friendly warthog, red dyker, nyala, bush babies, birds and hippo!

One room has a view out through the bush onto a vlei and the other has a view through the bush onto the Lake.

The Honeymoon suite is situated privately with views out onto a vlei.

Large windows and terrace doors as well as mosquito gauze screen doors slide open onto private viewing decks, skillfully combining luxury and integration with the environment.
