Karongwe River Lodge
R36 Hoedspruit, 24˚11’23.10”S 30˚32’31.22”E, 1380 Karongwe Game Reserve, South Africa – Excellent location - show map
The place is wonderful. The presidential suite is amazing. Overlooking a lake where you can see the hippos, impalas and other animals approached a few meters from the terrace. It was a spectacle to see them so close while you were on the lounger sunbathing. The game drives were amazing. Our guides, Jury and Collen, two wonderful guys who know how to do their job perfectly. In addition to many other animals, we saw the big five, some within 5 meters and more than once. The food, without being spectacular, is very good and plentiful.
