1 2 9 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I Guests of Makanyi Lodge are spoilt for choice when it comes to activities, from exhilarating game drives, guided bush walks, fishing in the dams, and visits to local world-renowned attractions—including the Blyde River Canyon and the Drakensburg Mountains—all with expert Makanyi safari guides. For a slower pace of life, an afternoon relaxing at the lodge, sunbathing by the pool, soaking in the hot tub or perhaps enjoying a spa treatment are all on hand. The evening’s activities include retreating to the fireplace to recount game viewing tales from the day, dinner which will either be served in the dining room or under the African sky, sitting around the boma, and for some culminating with talking into the small hours on the deck. Guests of the new villa can also take advantage of their own private vehicle and safari guide, allowing them to come and go as they wish. Whether a complete safari novice or somewhat of a connoisseur, the lodge seems to impart its warm, friendly atmosphere and world-class safari guides’ knowledge onto each and every guest. New for 2018 is the week-long Makanyi health and well-being programme, devised to energise guests and focus on body health, as well as providing a retreat to heal the mind and soul. The EnergiseWeek will include activities such as yoga, fitness, healthy eating, exercise and spa treatments, as well as meditation, mindfulness and consultations with nutritionist and fitness expert Yvonne Wake. Makanyi’s location and surroundings provide the ideal base fromwhich to escape the daily grind of life and allow the mind, body and soul to re-energise, refresh and recharge.
