Tandane camp
Tandane means "place of love". Makalali’s group entertainment / conference centre is situated at Tandane camp. The centre consists of a unique thatch-covered main building, an open kitchen and entertainment area. It has been designed to accommodate conferences, groups dining together, weddings, gala events, etc. Flame torches create a mystical and fiery African ambience at night.
 
Mkhiwa camp
Mkhiwa means Sycamore Fig and is name after the large fig tree which stands over the main area creating some welcome shade.
 
Emtomeni camp
Emtomeni, Mkhiwa’s sister camp, means Jackelberry tree. This camp was created in order to accommodate groups that need more than six rooms at a time. However each camp can still run separately with its own dining area, to
create that personal touch.
 
Phiva camp
Phiva means Waterbuck. However you will find Nyala here which roam the camp and call it their home.
