3 Day Karongwe River Lodge Luxury Safari

Spend the day lounging by the pool or watching the wildlife from your private terrace before departing on a late afternoon safari in an open game drive vehicle. The stunning vista of the Makhutsi River is a natural gem and your expansive parlour roomopening onto a large terrace provides opportunities to see elephant and antelope.

Dining under the stars has never been more romantic than when you dine on Pan African cuisine in a rustic outdoor Boma or, on alternating evenings, in the elegant dining room. Choose from a vast collection of top South African and imported beers and wine, as well as a choice of spirits and soft beverages.

The lodge has a wide sitting area that opens up onto a deck, which provides the ideal environment for viewing game. The lodge also has a breath-taking view of the Makhutsi River.

The lodge provides its guests with the option of staying in one of seven suites, including five Luxury Suites, two Family Suites, two Executive Suites, and two Presidential Suites, each of which features a private plunge pool.

In addition to complimentary Internet access, a library, and a spa, you will have peace of mind knowing that there is security present around the clock. You will be pleased with the spaciousness of your air-conditioned suite, which also includes a private bathroom.
