A very special place
“Little Mak will forever hold a special place in our hearts. My husband and I feel so fortunate to have discovered this hidden gem and spent four unforgettable nights here during our honeymoon. Our stay in late October was nothing short of magical, and every detail was truly appreciated. The warmth and care of the staff was evident in every interaction—always with a smile, a wave, and refreshing towels waiting for us after each game drive. The service was great, with the waiting staff going above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed.”

So Much to See
“My wife and I spent 4 nights at Little Mak, and it was amazing. We had a fantastic Guide named Chalton. He was extremely knowledgeable and was happy to be out as long as we wanted to be out. The food and service are also amazing. Portions weren’t huge which was nice so we didn’t like we were being wasteful if we couldn’t finish. It was especially hot when we were there. Probably about 10 celcius warmer, then it should have been, so midday was got a little toasty. We saw lots of animals – cheetah, lion, elephant, buffalo, giraffe and lots of antelope.”
