OVERVIEW ON MAKAKATANA BAY LODGE IN ST LUCIA ISIMANGALISO
Makakatana Bay Lodge is only privately owned safari lodge set on the banks of Lake St Lucia within the iSimangaliso Wetland Park World Heritage Site, the heart of Africa’s largest natural estuary. The iSimangaliso Wetland park World Heritage Site is one of the few natural wonders left on earth where there are unspoiled wilderness beaches, vast wetlands and game reserves all combined into one reserve. The name Makakatana is the name of a Zulu Chief called “Makakatana”, who lived in the area many years ago. The southern most bay that opens into Lake St Lucia from the narrows was named after the Chief. Makakatana Bay Lodge offers visitors an unforgettable KwaZulu safari experience with luxury game viewing suites & excellent service. Guests are accommodated in 6 bright and spacious suites. Three of these are set in the dune forest and are frequented by friendly warthog, red dyker, nyala, bush babies, birds and hippo! One room has a view out through the bush onto a vlei and the other has a view through the bush onto the Lake. The Honeymoon suite is situated privately with views out onto a vlei. Large windows and terrace doors as well as mosquito gauze screen doors slide open onto private viewing decks, skillfully combining luxury and integration with the environment.
