...which is separated from the bedroom by a hatch...

...providing tea and coffee making faciliites.

The bedroom has a double or twin bed surrounded by a mosquito net.

Each suite has an en-suite bathroom with a shower, a bath ,...

The family rooms at Makokola are very similar,...

...except that they have two separate bedrooms.

From the rooms, you can walk through lovely, well-kept tropical gardens...

The resort's dining area is open on all four sides...

...with views of the lake while enjoying your meal.

The beach here, with its palm trees and golden sand, is really inviting...

...and the perfect place to sunbathe and relax.

Alternatively, you can also take a dip in Makokola's swimming pool...

...or if you feel more energetic, go on a boat trip on the lake.
