Makalali Accommodation

The Twines camp has no fence around it so you will see free roaming animals and birdlife during the day.  They visit us in the garden and we regularly see the elephant herds coming to drink at the waterhole.  The main building with the office has a large comfortable lounge with a book and movie library where volunteers can spend their free time reading field guides and other books, or watching documentaries in the evening.  We also have a volleyball court at the camp, or you can jump into the pool for a cool off!

The Siyafunda volunteer house accommodates a maximum of 10 volunteers in five cosy rooms which has two people shared sleeping arrangements. Each room has a washbasin and an en suite bathroom, which is shared with the adjoining room, consisting of a shower with hot running water provided by eco-friendly solar heaters and flushing toilets.
 
 

Next door is the kitchen with an outside eating area. The kitchen offers cooking facilities for volunteers to prepare their breakfast, lunch and dinner. The fridge is always filled up with fresh veggies and fruit, cheese and a variety of meat. Volunteers help themselves with tea, coffee, cereal and toast in the morning. For a late brunch you can do sandwiches or salads or have a tasty fry up.  In the evening, after game drive, the volunteers cook a delicious meal together or just braai (South African BBQ) in our Boma, where we light up the fire after sunset.

 

In the evenings we spend most of the time under the South African stars and light up the fire in the boma.  We sit around enjoying a well earned drink and an amazing dinner, telling stories of the day's adventures.
