About Bongani Mountain Lodge
The Bongani Mountain Lodge is beautifully located in the shadows of the Malelane Mountain range in the 8 000 hectares of the Mthetomusha Game Reserve, on the south western border of the Kruger National Park in South Africa. It is a low-risk malaria destination due to its altitude where guests have the unique opportunity to experience the Big Five including lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and buffalo.
Visitors to the Bongani Mountain Lodge are invited to walk the ancient paths once used by the San Bushman people of South Africa with over 250 San rock art sites, estimated to be 1 500 years old. This San bushman art site is to date the greatest concentration of rock art per square metre on earth.

Overall really good. Definitely enjoyed our stay there. Well equipped lodge with great rooms. We had the pleasure of the freedom suite which is huge and has a really good overview of the park from the terrace. (One of three terraces by the way). The bed was amazing. I never slept in a bed which was 2.5m broad. Room service was good - Always well cleaned. They had put the mosquito net each evening down and in the morning cleaning session up. So no need to do anything by yourself. Breakfast Lunch and Dinner - perfect! Really good - huge choice of meat. We really enjoyed each meal. Especially the ones outside with campfire. They have two Pool areas - both of them very lovely and one with a special view - so for all instagrammers - you will love it ;) Game drives with our Guide Aaron where excellent - he is well experienced and tries to catch everything. We had luck - saw elephants, rhinos, giraffes, buffalos, kudus. We where very close to them. You always had the feeling Aaron knows how to handle - especially when we had a flat tire on the evening game drive. After 15 minutes in the dark the situation was solved. Another thing which needs to be solved is the road Situation to the Welcome Center. Its a very hard ride and not that easy with a economy rental car. A dust Road with a lot of Stones and potholes. We took the road description from the lodge - and we are very upset and thought lets turn around every hundred Meters. A very hard ride. And the interesting thing was that there is another way which is much better - the Ranger recommended that way and drive in front of us to show the way! (Nice from the Ranger by the way) so please change the description of the way to the welcome centre. Thats nearly our biggest concern. Rest was lovely - good rooms, perfect beds, friendly staff, great food nice game drives. We defently recommend Bongani.

We had a great time, thanks for making our holiday worthwhile. Excellent service, clean rooms and healthy meals. Also had a great view surrounded by nature. A great place if you wanna rest and be far away from normal day activities. Highly recommended, we got value for our money.
