Exceptional Stay and Incredible Wildlife - We had an unforgettable 5-day safari stay at the lodge in the village. From the moment we arrived, the experience was amazing. The staff were incredibly welcoming and made us feel at home right away. Breakfast and dinner were consistently very good, and our room was cleaned every single day, which we really appreciated. A special mention goes to Bongani, who is extremely flexible and always goes out of his way to optimise your experience. Whatever we needed, he found a way to make it happen. Our safari guide, Petro, was fantastic as well. You can truly see how much he loves animals and the bush. He knows exactly when to take things slow and enjoy the surroundings and when it’s time to pick up the pace. His knowledge and passion made every game drive memorable. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better safari. Highly recommended!

Welcoming, nice African lodge - Sebastiano, 23 yo from Italy. I stayed at Bongani for 6 days with 3 friends and it was a fantastic experience. The lodge was super cute and the staff incredibly nice, the food delicious. Bongani himself was very welcoming and always available to help plan or explain things. The organization of game drives, panorama trips and Bush walks was well done and we appreciated the flexibility in changing the plan the day before. Finally, our guide Petro was the best safari Guide I’ve ever had (after doing safaris in Kenya and Zimbabwe also). I can’t wait to visit the Kruger again and will definitely go back to Bongani’s!
