Makutsi Tented Camp
Perched on a ridge of koppies (rocky outcrops) with unspoilt views across the Drakensberg and lowveld, Makutsi Tented Camp is built around one thing: walking safaris. Here, experienced Nature Guides take you into the bush on foot — close to the ground, attuned to tracks and sounds, and immersed in the full story of the African wilderness.
Makutsi Tented Camp can sleep up to 8 people in 4 twin/double safari tents under thatch.
The minimum age for the Tented Camp is 16. Walks can last up to four hours and may pass through uneven terrain — a reasonable level of fitness is needed. All walks and drives depart in the early morning and late afternoon, led by an experienced, armed Nature Guide. Timings depend on weather and animal movements.

Accommodation
All tents have electricity, a private covered deck, standing fan as well as an en-suite bathroom with hot/cold showers and flush toilets. The tents are spread along the Koppies on wooden decks raised above the ground. Enjoy sitting on your private deck overlooking a small water hole, while taking in the tranquility of the African bush.
Restaurant & Pool
The Tented Camp has a restaurant and lounge, small library, viewing deck, and pool. But the real attraction is simpler — the privacy, the walking safaris, and the rare pleasure of sharing a remote wilderness with just a handful of other people.

Walking Safaris
Walking safaris offer something that no game drive can — a connection with the bush at ground level. You hear what the animals hear, see what they see, and understand the landscape in a completely different way. Your guide reads the ground like a map: tracks, droppings, broken branches, the direction of the wind. Every walk is different, and every walk teaches you something new.
Minimum age: 16. Reasonable fitness required. All walks led by an experienced, armed Nature Guide.
Tented Camp Walks
Makutsi Tented Camp is bookable as part of a Makutsi package, or as a 2-night add-on from Main Camp. Each visit includes daily walking safaris led by an experienced Nature Guide.
