The Bongani Mountain Lodge is
situated in the 8000 hectare Mthethomusha Game Reserve, bordering
the world-famous Kruger National Park in South Africa. Lion,
leopard, rhino, elephant and buffalo walk ancient paths once used
by the San (Bushman) people. Over 250 San rock art paintings,
estimated to be 1 500 years old, are found in the Reserve – the
greatest concentration of rock art per square metre on earth.
Bongani is a low-risk malaria
destination due to the altitude of the Lodge, which offers an
unforgettable mountain safari with breathtaking views of the
surrounding African bush. From the moment you are met for your
scenic game-drive up the mountain, you will be delighted by the
hospitality, care and personal attention which is the hallmark of
Bongani.
Accommodation
Bongani’s unique safari
accommodation comprises chalets and family suites - ideal for
families, groups or individual travellers. They are set atop the
Malelane Lebombo Mountains with private decks featuring
magnificent wraparound views.
Bongani’s elevated safari lodge
offers chalets and suites which are a subtle blend of timber and
thatch, spaciously spread out across an impressive mountain ridge,
within easy walking distance from the guest areas perched above.
Dining Delicious Pan-African cuisine
is enjoyed in the fire-lit, traditional Swazi boma (outdoor dining
area) or in the spacious dining area.
Bongani is also renowned for exceptional bush banqueting in
surprise settings.
Bongani’s cosy bar, library, dining
and sitting areas feature striking furniture with ethnic fabrics
and generous decks with magnificent wraparound views. The entrance
