    The friendly owner is extremely helpful. He met us on the main road and showed us the way to the lodge. But it didn't stop there. We did not realize that there would be no dinner at all if we did not respond to the request immediately after...

    So so great! Bongan is just such a warm and friendly person and often speaks to you as guest and has a high interest in your well-being. He is also eating together with you. We could book in addition an African dinner, which was so great....

We are 15 minutes drive from Orpen gate Kruger Park and Manyeleti Game reserves. Ideal place for somebody that wants to enjoy a big 5 safari and accommodate themselves in a traditional African Village. We have dinner in the Boma under the African sky. Every day we depart from the Village in an Open Safari vehicle for game drives in the Kruger Park and Manyeleti Game Reserve in search for the Big Five
I am a Safari Game Ranger for 17 years. I hosted wonderful people from all over the globe at Gamelodges and on Safari. I was born in this village and will make your experience unforgettable in South Africa.I conduct from Bongan Lodge BIG 5 Gamedrives into the Kruger Park and Manyeleti Reserves.
An authentic traditional village surrounded by Shangaan people. Enjoy the proper African experience.Fifteen minutes drive to BIG Kruger Park and Manyeleti Reserves
