I hjertet af det 60.000 hektar store Klaserie Private Nature Reserve i Sydafrika forener lodgen luksus med uberørt vildmark: kun seks suiter, ét køretøj pr. 1.000 hektar – og aftener, hvor 300 stearinlys vækker lodgen til live. Den, der møder Stefan Breuer ved Ascona Polo Cup, oplever en vært med liv og sjæl – uanset om det er ved sidelinjen, i loungen eller midt blandt gæsterne. Men hans måske største værthistorie udspiller sig omkring 9.000 kilometer syd for Ascona, i den afrikanske bush. Og i år, hvor lørdag aften har mottoet «Welcome to the Jungle», findes der nok ingen mere passende anledning til at fortælle den. #### Den «Barefoot Bushman» og hans drøm The story of Makumu begins with its founder: Stefan Breuer, by many simply called "Barefoot Bushman". Already at a young age, he felt a deep connection to Africa's wilderness. Through many years of travel and immersion, a realization grew: freedom and authenticity are not just experiences – they are a way of being. From this deep love for the African bush arose a dream, as simple as it is profound: to create a place where nature and comfort exist in perfect balance. A sanctuary that celebrates the warmth, textures, and soul of Africa – while offering a deeply personal, authentic safari experience. Today, Makumu stands for precisely this vision: a place where guests truly feel at home. #### The lodge, brought to life at night with 300 candles Makumu Private Game Lodge ligger i hjertet af Klaserie Private Nature Reserve nær Hoedspruit, Sydafrika – midt i 60.000 hektar uberørt vildmark. Det, der gør lodgen så speciel, er dens kompromisløse eksklusivitet: Med kun ét køretøj pr. 1.000 hektar oplever gæsterne dyrelivet – uforstyrret og i absolut ro. Ingen kolonner, ingen trængsel – kun dig, vildmarken og stilheden. Og så kommer aftenen. Når solen synker bag horisonten, vågner lodgen til live på sin helt egen måde: i skæret fra 300 stearinlys. Et syn, man ikke kan beskrive – man skal opleve det. #### «Makumu»: hjemmet med de endeløse vidder På Xitsonga-sproget beskriver «Makumu», hjemmet med de endeløse vidder, et grænseløst blik over fjerne horisonter. Lodgen ligger højt på en bakke og tilbyder netop dette: en udsigt over det afrikanske bushveld, som fylder gæsterne med den afrikanske vildmarks ældgamle ånd. Intimt og eksklusivt: kun seks luksuriøse suiter til maksimalt tolv gæster. Hver suite har sin egen karakter, inspireret af den rige arv fra Sydafrikas stammer – tre King-suiter og tre Impi-suiter, tematisk dedikeret til bushman-, ndebele- og zulu-kulturerne. Moderne luksus møder autentisk afrikansk design. #### Oplevelser, der varer ved Ethvert ophold på Makumu er præget af oplevelser, der forbinder gæsterne med vildmarken: safarier med erfarne rangere, dyreobservationer fra den unikke underjordiske fotobunker i samme højde som elefanternes ben, stille timer ved Windmill Hide. De, der søger eventyr, kan opleve landskabet fra oven på spektakulære helikopter- eller microlight-flyvninger. Og aftenerne? De tilhører stjernehimlen – eller en film under åben himmel i Makumu Bush Cinema ved eksklusive bookinger. Hertil kommer udsøgt gastronomi, sydafrikanske vine, personlig service og beroligende massage: den perfekte balance mellem luksus, natur og personlig opdagelse. > For special occasions, there are specially designed experiences – from the bunker photo package and the Bush Cinema experience to the Honeymoon Experience for newlyweds. #### What connects Ascona and Makumu Anyone who knows Stefan Breuer will immediately recognize his signature in Makumu: genuine hospitality, love for people and animals, uncompromising quality – and the conviction that the moments you share are the most beautiful ones. It is this same attitude that he has brought to Ascona as a team sponsor for years. In polo as well as in the African bush, the rule applies: It is all about connection, respect, and presence. About moments that last. And if Saturday's jungle evening has given you a taste for the real African bush, you now know where to find it. #### → Discover more: www.makumu.com ## Frequently Asked Questions #### What is Makumu Private Game Lodge?
