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.

The Bongani Mountain Lodge is beautifully located in the shadows of the Malelane Mountain range in the 8 000 hectares of the Mthetomusha Game Reserve, on the south western border of the Kruger National Park in South Africa.
