Garonga is an exclusive safari camp situated west of the Kruger National Park, between Hoedspruit and Phalaborwa, in South Africa's Limpopo Province. The reserve forms part of the Makalali wildlife conservancy and offers an in-depth experience for bush-lovers seeking more than the classic "Big Five" encounter.

Accommodation is in luxurious safari tents, which are inspired by nature's termite mounds and reflect the textures of the earth. Thick earthen columns, generous cushions on low beds and billowing white fabrics epitomise this oasis in the middle of the South African bush. Indulgences include hammocks on the wooden decks, indoor and outdoor showers and romantically draped beds.

Bedrooms are carefully set amongst ebony trees on the banks of a watercourse and command beautiful views. Be indulged with little luxuries and thoughtful touches in the bedrooms and bathrooms – romantically draped beds, generous bathtubs, indoor and outdoor showers, and private decks.

The Hambledon Suite is also available for those wanting to experience unparalleled luxury, privacy and exclusivity. The suite boasts its own deck and swimming pool, and has a private land rover for game drives.

Activities include game drives, wilderness walks, sleep-outs, outdoor bush-baths and aromatherapy and reflexology sessions. We encourage our guests to indulge in activities that will allow them to walk close to the animals, and thereby enhance their wildlife encounter.

Garonga offers a true safari in a pristine wilderness. The wide variety of game at Garonga ensures that guests are pleasantly surprised at what they see, as well as how close the animals are when they are sighted.There is plenty of interaction with the Guests when looking for game. Guests are encouraged to follow the tracking experience (almost as exciting as seeing the game) whether by vehicle or on foot.

The uniquely prepared safari cuisine make every meal at Garonga Safari Camp a masterpiece of visual and taste sensations. The accent is on low-fat dishes, making use of local produce like wild fruits, berries and game. Local farmers supply fresh fruit and vegetables, cheese, milk and yoghurt come from a nearby organic dairy farm and citrus fruit is from Garonga's own orchard. Every dish is prepared fresh on the day having been chosen for its seasonal availability and colours.
