Birding six nights: wetland to bushveld
Two habitats build one bird list — the lake margin at Makakatana, then the hilltop forest at Sungulwane.
The journey
Makakatana Bay Lodge → Sungulwane Private Game Lodge
Nights 1–3
Makakatana Bay Lodge
The list opens on the water: eco-boat mornings along the reedbed edge of Lake St Lucia and guided walks on the lake margin.
Nights 4–6
Sungulwane Private Game Lodge
The second half climbs inland to the hilltop at Sungulwane, where the Red Ivory forest and the open bushveld carry a different set of species.
What's included
- Morning and afternoon eco-boat safaris on Lake St Lucia
- Guided birding walks at both lodges
- Game drives from the Sungulwane hilltop
- All meals at both lodges
