Garonga Safari Camp - (Mpumalanga) Kruger Park Area

Location:

Secluded in the heart of a world-acclaimed conservation area guests can experience this exceptional safari camp. Garonga is a camp that offers not only the traditional African Big Game adventure, but also a holistic wildlife experience.

Classic luxury, comfort and service is combined with nature, throughout the camp, which has been designed to reflect the textures of the earth with rough plastered walls and natural canvas roofing, as well as in the activities offered. Garonga is set in the 11,113ha Makalali Conservancy.

Accommodations:

The Tented Rooms are situated on a dry riverbed each with a wooden deck that commands spectacular views. The rooms are spacious, with large, draped beds. In addition to the indoor shower, there is an outdoor shower that flows outwards from the luxury of the room, providing a continuous link to nature.

Six rooms, each with its own game viewing deck and hammock, are fully en suite.

The Hambledon Suite, complete with hand-beaten copper bath, has a distinctive Indonesian feel. The camp is our sanctuary an organic flowing space that spreads harmony around it.

In designing it we rejected rigid thinking and created the natural flows of African living. The result is as if the termites had combined forces over eons to build us a monument celebrating nature.

It is almost as if we have created a North African oasis a tranquil haven sheltering us from the wilderness without.

Facilities:

Guests may sleep out on their own on a beautiful deck with stunning views overlooking the Veldt.

A Sumptuous Picnic Hamper, a Drinks Box, and Hot drinks are left for them at the Deck. They are left with a radio and will get collected in the morning.

A Wash basin and Toilet close by are provided. It is a 20 minute drive from the main camp. A truly magical experience!

Game Viewing / Activities:

Garongas holistic philosophy is to offer a safari for the soul, an unhurried and intimate wildlife encounter a time to reflect and find inspiration in nature. Activities include game drives, wilderness walks, outdoor bush baths, sleep-outs, aromatherapy and reflexology sessions are available, but many choose to lie in their hammocks watching the grazing game in the river bed below. 

Walks:

We encourage guests to walk up close to the animals, thus experiencing an in-depth wildlife encounter. For many, Garonga represents a safari for the soul, a time to find inspiration in natural life

Relaxation:

Garonga offers the kind of holistic wildlife experience and relaxation you will search the earth to find. Have an outdoor candlelit bath under the stars or be pampered by the resident aroma therapist while gazing languidly over the nearby waterhole. If each guest takes a deeper understanding of wilderness away with them, we have fulfilled our ambition to share our place of peace.
