Your camp manager can assist you to book the activities and excursions below:

  • Specialist birding trips
  • Visit to caves
  • Mineral springs

Rafting/ Abseiling
Makalali is located close to the mighty Olifants River in South Africa’s Limpopo Province. Makalali staff can arrange river rafting and abseiling excursions for guests. A professional river rafting company using two-man rafts will aid you in conquering the many rapids, varying from grade 2-4, with various cascades, chutes and quiet pools in between. This activity is fun for young and old alike. Families are also welcome.
 
Hot air balloon rides
We offer morning or afternoon rides for up to 10 guests per balloon ride. Unfortunately the hot air balloon rides coincide with the game drives.  
 
Golfing Excursion
Golf excursions can be arranged to the Hans Merensky Golf Course, next to the Kruger National Park. Contact your camp manager to book.
 
Cheetah Breeding Project
The Cheetah Breeding facility specializes in the captive breeding of cheetahs and other animals. Essential research is also being conducted on other endangered species.

Makalali invites you to come and experience the local Shangaan culture at a tribal museum. Day to day tasks and activities are performed, just as their ancestors did.
 
Moholoholo Animal Rehabilitation Centre

Panorama/ Escarpment day trip
