Karongwe River Lodge

At Karongwe River Lodge, a delicious food experience awaits you. Dining under the stars has never been so romantic as you enjoy our pan African cuisine in a rustic outside boma or on alternate evenings in the beautifully appointed dining room.  To compliment your meal, choose from our extensive selection of top South African and imported beers and wine together with a variety of spirits and soft drinks. Spend the afternoon relaxing beside the pool or watching the game from your private deck before being whisked away on a late afternoon safari in an open game drive vehicle.

The enchanting view over The Makhutswi River is a natural treasure providing insight into the secret river life. The spacious lounge area leading onto a vast deck allows for endless opportunity to view elephant as well as grazing antelope.=

Settle in at your leisure in one of our 11 spacious and air-conditioned suites, with en-suite bathrooms. River Lodge offers guests a choice of 5 Luxury, 2 Family and 2 Executive Suites, with the 2 Presidential Suites enjoying their own private plunge pools. Romance is the key to any successful wedding and Karongwe River Lodge provides this in abundance. The ceremony can be held at “Fig Tree” beneath beautiful shady, indigenous trees bordering the Makhutswi River. This venue grants you and your guests to a real bush wedding-experience! “Fig Tree” is approximately half an hour’s drive into the bush and guests will be transported there by our own safari vehicle.
