Dining at Makana

Bushmans Kloof is in many ways a celebration of San culture and heritage, and in the ancient San language Makana means ‘to feast’. It’s an apt description of what awaits guests at our all-day dining venue, where you’ll enjoy hearty brunches and indulgent dinners.

Clad in local sandstone and roofed with traditional thatch, Makana is an echo of the natural caves and simple dwellings used by the earliest inhabitants of this ancient landscape. Tables on the ground level look out over the Boontjies River and wide grassy lawns, where shy antelope graze come evening, while the pair of cosy lounges behind each offer a wide hearth where roaring fires keep the winter chills at bay.

Makana is also one of the venues where guests may enjoy our indulgent High tea experience before departing on afternoon activities in the reserve.
