About Karongwe River Lodge

Karongwe River Lodge is positioned along the banks of the Makhutswi River in the heart of the Greater Kruger's private Karongwe reserve. The lodge offers a polished, refined experience with modern amenities housed in structures that harmonize with the surrounding riverine bush. The wildlife in this sector is diverse, with the river providing a natural corridor for movement, resulting in frequent, high-quality sightings. Guests can expect professional, knowledgeable guiding that emphasizes the intricacies of the local ecosystem. The lodge’s design maximizes views of the river, providing a serene setting for post-game drive relaxation. It is a solid, well-run property that delivers a high level of comfort while keeping the visitor connected to the sights and sounds of the bushveld.
