 MCH Private Tented Camp 

For a nostalgic safari experience

MCH Private Tented Camp is an intimate property nestled within the Greater Makalali Private Game Reserve.

Due to its elevated position guests can enjoy wonderful views over the kopjes to the Drakensberg Mountains. The 22,000-hectare reserve is bursting with wildlife including elephant, giraffe, lion, leopard, wild dog and cheetah.

Each morning and late afternoon there are game drives in open vehicles to explore the reserve. The camp also offers guided bush walks or guests may prefer to relax on their deck in the hammock looking out for wildlife that often comes through the camp. Microlight flights and the chance to bathe or sleep out under the stars are also available.

Safari for the soul at Garonga

Garonga is located within the Greater Makalali Private Game Reserve. The philosophy here is safari for the soul as guests are encouraged to slow down and absorb the sights and sounds of nature. Spending time with animals and learning about their behaviour is an integral part of what they do. You can join a solitude walk. Walking in complete silence, your guide will point to a plant or insect, but no explanation will be given until you get back to the camp so that you fully immerse yourself in nature without any distraction. You may then wish to spend time on the yoga deck or relax in a hammock to rejuvenate mind, body and soul.

Bathe under an African night sky at Garonga

As part of Garonga's safari for the soul experience, it’s important to be able to unwind and they have created the perfect way for guests to do this. Hidden within the grounds of the camp there are two open-air baths where guests can relax with a loved one under the stars of an African sky. Set up with romantic lanterns, fluffy towels and indulgent toiletries, it’s the ultimate pampering session.

Spend a night under the stars on Garonga’s sleep out deck

A popular activity for guests at Garonga is to sleep out under the stars. Perfect for romantics, the lantern-lit sleep out deck is located a 20-minute drive from the camp. Guests are driven to the sleep out area and as the sun starts to set, a three-course meal is served.
