Makakatana Bay Lodge is the only privately-owned and owner-managed game lodge within the iSimangaliso Wetland Park.
Experience this magnificent area from the comfort of our spacious rooms, set on raised decks within the wilderness of the game park.
Makakatana Bay Lodge is a short drive from either Durban or Richard’s Bay. After you’ve settled into your room, our experienced guides will take you on an afternoon game drive before enjoying a delicious dinner and an evening under the African stars.
Your main safaris while staying at Makakatana Bay lodge include exploring the waterways of Lake St Lucia on a boat cruise, a game drive inside iSimangaliso, and a visit to the nearby Hluhluwe National Park.
