About Tomo Safari Lodge

Tomo Safari Lodge is located inside the Greater Kruger Park in the Balule Nature reserve, which borders the western boundary of the Klaserie Game Reserve with no fences. The traversing area of Tomo inside Balule has two non-perennial rivers meandering through the area and draws a diversity of wildlife and birds to this prime game viewing area. White Rhino, Lion, Buffalo, Leopard, Cheetah, Elephant and other African animals can be discovered during the morning and evening safaris on open game drive vehicles.

The reserve has a number of superb vantage points from which sundowners are enjoyed with magnificent views of the Drakensberg mountains and the surrounding bushveld. Kwenga is a fully catered 16 bed lodge in the true African tradition and is reminiscent of a bygone era.

Accommodation

At Tomo Safari Lodge, personalised service is offered by the staff and an experienced ranger will plan and guide you on game drives and walking. Kwenga lodge has its own exclusive character with a homely ambiance.

From the swimming pool and outside patio area, you may sip a cocktail while keeping an eye on the various animals at the waterhole a mere 100 meters away. Whether you choose to listen to the roar of the Lions from Tomo or sip a sundowner from the pool deck or tell stories around the camp fire with your family and simply spoil yourselves with the indulgence of Tomo, we know that the spirit of the bush will linger in your souls.

The Lodge accommodates 23 guests in 8 thatched chalets. All rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated in African design. Each chalet has its own patio. All Luxury rooms have air-con and an outdoor shower over and above the normal spacious en suite bathroom. Standard rooms have fans and a normal en-suite bathroom.

Dining

Meals are served in the boma for a ‘dining out under the stars' experience, and one may relax after dinner around the camp fire listening to the sounds of the African night. A thatched indoor dining room and lounge with fireplace is used for dining in the event of inclement weather. On either side of the indoor dining area is a thatched patio, one overlooking the swimming pool and Drakensberg mountains, the other incorporating a friendly bar area.
