Water: The water at Makumu comes from our own fresh water resources and goes through a Reverse Osmosis system, therefore, making all the water out of our taps perfectly safe to drink.

Suite Doors: Doors should be closed at all times by turning the key, inside or outside. Baboons or monkeys may try to investigate during the day. Please don't remove the keys from the door, we are in the bush, it is safe here.
The Lodge: Please bear in mind that the camp is situated in a big game area and is unfenced.
