Village Tours:
The Makuleke Community
The Outpost is a partnership between the Lodge and the Makuleke people. The development of the Lodge is inextricably linked to the history of the Makuleke people, their forced removal from the region under the Apartheid laws of the old South African government and the subsequent return of title to the Makuleke people. The history of the Makuleke people is best explored by a visit to the Makuleke Village in the capable hands of a Makuleke guide. You will wander through the village meeting the community and gain insight as to how the Makuleke was won back and then surrendered to nature for the sake of wildlife and biodiversity.

Situated at the northernmost corner of the Kruger National Park, on the border with Zimbabwe and Mozambique, the Makuleke private concession is an area of extraordinary beauty and diversity. It is here, at the top of a rocky ridge overlooking towering baobabs and lush, riverine forests, that you will find The Outpost.
