On our travel we visited two private lodges, Thanda and Bongani. Thanda has won a big amount of prices but I must say I prefer Bongani. The room was wonderful and the bathroom beautiful with all natural materials. I slept marvellous. The bed was very comfortable. Unfourtunately it rained all the time so we didn´t use the pools. We saw... More

Great place! Everything is fantastic; the people, staff, rooms, pools and the food is incredible!!! The views from the rooms overlooking the mountains is spectacular as are the games drives which they offer there. Our guides Absolon and Wandile were fantastic and found us all of the big 5 ( apart from leopard) as well as African wild dog and... More

We were on our honeymoon tourIng South Africa and Bongani was the start of our holiday, the location and scenery were breathtaking. Our rangers Reckson and Simeon were very friendly, informative and great company. The accomadation was excellent, clean and very comfortable with some nice personal touches. All the staff, from the cleaners, caterers and rangers to the managers were... More

We spent 3 nights at Bongani, with our children ages 4,11 and 12. It was our 4th stay at Bongani, though the last time we were there was many years ago, when it was still uner CC Africa management. The lodge itself hasn't changed at all: obviously the location is still absolutely fantastic and the rooms are still pretty much... More

For the first two nights we were the only guests in this lovely Lodge and it was a real treat. We had safaris all by ourselves with our great ranger Rex and tracker Simeon, had great brunches, lunches and a wonderful barbecue under the stars. The location is perfect and the view from the pool area is stunning. The bungalows... More

This beautiful 4 star property is a 30 min drive up the top of the mountains. The first thing to overcome is the mountainous drive in an open vehicle to the lodge. Keep your eyes open as you may also see some game. This property is more suited to people looking for a retreat or to totally relax and get... More

We were a large group who stayed at Bongani. The first surprise is the drive. It is at least half an hour in an open vehicle to the lodge. This is after you have driven 20min on a gravel road. The way up is spectacular and there is the possiblitlity to see wildlife on the way. It is like getting... More

We stayed in Nelspruit and our accommodation arranged a night Safari with Bongani Mountain Lodge, they met us near their private gate, a very rural track about 6 miles of the Main road to Maputo. We jumped onto the transport a relatively new open top Land Cruiser Safari, and had a quick pep talk, we set of, it was only... More

What a wonderful setting fo a bush lodge. We went as a couple, but the place is probably better suited to families or tour groups. The service was good, and our guide willing and keen. We didn't have much luck with the game viewing, but this is the nature of bush and was certainly not through the lack of trying.... More
