Garonga Safari Camp’s guests never want to leave, so we have included an extra free night for long stays… Plus wedding, honeymoon and exclusive use packages<\/span>

<\/span><\/p>\n

Garonga is a special place. It is pure,\u00a0holistic\u00a0safari magic. A place where you can\u2019t quite put your finger on what it is that makes it different. It is perhaps more about the way youfeel\u00a0when you are there – about the place, Nature \u2013 and life in general.\u00a0It is not the type of game lodge to visit if you just want to tick off the Big 5 and move on. Garonga offers an intimate \u2018safari for the soul\u2019. There, within hours, you will feel relaxed and miles away from the rat race. A place where you can really breathe, swap your watch for a kikoi and bare feet, and go with the flow. Just lie in your hammock and contemplate the clouds. Enjoy a romantic picnic in a tree house \u2013 or\u00a0\"8f82062759596136_200x200ar\"watch game wander in the riverbed below the swimming pool. There is no routine to speak of, and if you fancy a lie-in rather than getting up before the birds for a game drive or a guided bush walk, the rangers will take you out later on. You decide.<\/div>\n

The reserve, located west of the Kruger National Park in the Limpopo Province is beautiful and remote and you can enjoy it up close and personal – tracking down 4 of the Big 5 (there are no buffalo) on guided walks and game drives. The rangers are fantastic and teach you loads about the bush and wildlife so that aside from the big game, you will also be enthralled with the experience of just being out in the bush. If you can bear to drag yourself away from your gorgeous semi-tented suite or away from inviting the pool and lounge area, you can explore your \u201cwilder side\u201d and sleep out under the stars in their tree house deck \u2013 or enjoy a bush bath for two by candlelight.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Garonga also offers massages at an outdoor sala, which are a\u00a0must\u00a0for all guests to really push you over the edge of relaxation. The Camp is very intimate and private with only 6 semi-tented suites that have a Moorish, North African feel to them \u2013 run by the Owner himself, Bernie Smith. There is also a sister camp called\u00a0Little Garonga\u00a0nearby with 3 thatched suites with air-conditioning that sleeps a maximum of 6 adults and 2 children, ideal for intimate groups or families, although the suites can be hired out individually. There are no fences so the animals sometimes wander through the camp, which really does make you feel like you are in the bush. But they too seem as relaxed as the guests!<\/div>\n
