Makana at Bushmans Kloof is a celebration of San culture, heritage, and generous hospitality. Named after the ancient San word meaning “to feast,” it perfectly captures the experience awaiting guests at this all-day dining venue. Built from local sandstone and crowned with traditional thatch, Makana evokes the natural caves and simple shelters once used by the region’s earliest inhabitants. With views across the Boontjies River and surrounding lawns - often visited by grazing antelope at dusk - Makana offers a warm, atmospheric setting for memorable meals throughout the day.
Makana serves hearty brunches, indulgent dinners, and a decadent afternoon high tea, offering guests a relaxed yet refined dining experience throughout the day. Ground-level tables overlook the river and surrounding lawns, while two cosy lounges - each with its own wide hearth - provide a warm fireside retreat during the cooler winter months.
Each afternoon, guests can enjoy Bushmans Kloof’s decadent high tea beneath the shade of towering wild fig trees. Guests select their favourites from an ever-changing array of sweet and savoury treats, beautifully presented at the table, such as:
