**We are a fully inclusive lodge | Activities, meals and select beverages included** Makakatana Bay Lodge is situated along the shores of Lake St Lucia, nestled within the iSimangaliso Wetland Park World Heritage Site - a rare natural marvel that remains untouched on our planet. Experience the enchantment of unspoiled beaches, expansive wetlands, and freely roaming wildlife in a pristine game reserve, all while enjoying an unforgettable boat cruise on Africa's largest marine estuary. The main lodge at Makakatana is the heart of our establishment, offering personal service and a relaxing atmosphere. All game drives and activities depart from here, and meals are served on the raised deck or at the 'boma' nearby. Our staff is dedicated to making your stay magical, so please let us know if you have any special requests. The lodge features a bar and a stunning 'old crab' house, as it's affectionately called. Nearby, there's a private bush pool on the edge of Lake St Lucia, providing a serene space just for you. Although it's unserviced, there's a buzzer available if you need assistance. The Luxury Suites at Makakatana offer Double or Twin configurations and feature a private viewing deck, en-suite bathroom, spacious outdoor shower and bath, mini-bar, tea and coffee facilities, and air-conditioning. These suites are bright and spacious, seamlessly blending comfort and luxury with the surrounding natural environment. Situated in the dune forest, the grounds around the Luxury Suites are home to warthogs, red duikers, nyala, bush babies, and a variety of bird life. All our activities are complimentary with your nightly rate. These include wetlands game drives, a boat cruise on the St Lucia Lake, UNESCO World Heritage Site, beach excursions to a secluded beach along South Africa's untamed east coast, and the simple pleasure of unwinding and savoring a "slow" safari experience.
