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 to the Lodge is spectacular, with gigantic rocks
arching overhead. Ancient tribes once held their sacred
ceremonies here and local legend holds that a nearby boulder
will enhance your fertility.
