Back to Bongani
We first stayed at Bongani Mountain Lodge 15 years ago and returned when we saw it on special over new year. Not much has changed in 15 years. We had a nice time - the food was good and our ranger and tracker were pleasant and informative. I would not rate this lodge as luxury. The room, with a queen size bed, had seen better days and with the thatch roof and poor choice of tiles it always seemed a bit grubby. The game viewing is not great. There are not many animals to be seen and as much as the ranger provided interesting info about what we did see - if you are after real Big 5 game viewing this is not the place for you. The food appealed to South African tastes and there was a good choice. If anything the compressed times because of lockdown meant that we were fed a little bit too much over a shorter space of time. I don't think I would rush back to Bongani and would have been seriously disappointed if we had paid full price. It was nice but not amazing.

It is clearly advertised on Expedia that it is in Kruger Park - it is not inside the park, but in a game reserve next to it - so slightly misleading as I was under the impression that it was INSIDE Kruger! Also, if you follow Google Maps it gets you horribly lost - after reading a ton of reviews the day before the trip, we realised we had to contact the lodge directly for written directions or we should call them when we get to the point (or when you get lost). It’s not in the nicest locations so getting lost is quite unsettling. It should also be recommended to arrive with a vehicle that has good ground clearance as the gravel road is quite bad in places. However, after arriving at the Welcome Centre to park your car and take a 30 minute drive up to the lodge - it was wonderful. All staff (namely Pascal) were so friendly and accommodating and immediately felt relaxed. The head Chef was great and willing to accommodate any request thrown at him. The game rangers were AMAZING! We had Wonderboy and Sandile. We then had Jabu and Thokozani - who were so knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour - there was no question left unanswered and looked forward to the drives with them. The food was great and the accommodation was lovely (could start replacing the bed linen as it is ripped and got holes), but overall clean and comfortable.

The staff,the food and game drives were fantastic!!! I do believe that the chalets could be upgraded a bit. I felt that the drive to the welcome center was not a nice drive and better signs needs to be set up and warning of the cattles and bad roads needs to be stipulated. The staff are wonderful each and every one of them!!@

Our stay at Aha Bongani could not have been better: all meals were included, food was excellent, game drives by experience drivers, very personalized service, excellent amenities and accomodations, etc. The staff was outstanding, accomodating all our requests and much more. The lodge is a bit isolated in the mountains, but easy to reach by the shuttles provided by the hotel. It is also close to Malelane Gate of Kruger Park. Frankly, this is an extremely good value for the price paid, I would return anytime.

Wonderful experience, only marred by there manager having to ask me for more money, as your agent put that the two rooms I booked were single occupancy both my name which I did notice but thought was printing error. As I ask especially for one twin and one double for four people,and surely there would of been a single occupancy surcharge. I would be interested on your thoughts Paul Davies

Mountain Lodge Safari
My husband and I visited the lodge with our two children over the holidays and we had an excellent experience. They were very accommodating for the children as well. Lovely mountain lodge with friendly staff and good food. Rooms were comfortable and well appointed with private decks. Impalas and monkeys would roam around the property during the day. We went on three safaris during our trip and saw a ton of animals; zebra, giraffe, rhinos, Impalas, Cape Buffalo, and a herd of elephants. Lots of birds and lizards as well. The pool and sun deck were very relaxing with amazing views of the mountains and valley below. Beware, the lodge is not easy to get to. We followed Google Maps to get to the lodge and it brought us on a treacherous route. We ended up having to turn around and go back to the beginning of town where we saw a sign pointing to the lodge. Be prepared with directions before you go and follow the sign for the lodge. You will first enter the reserve and then proceed to the welcome center where you will park and leave your car. A guide will then escort you up the mountain to the lodge in an Land Cruiser, a mini safari in itself. Once you get there you’ll realize it was worth the extra effort. Enjoy!

I'm With The Elephants
Totally misrepresented by Hotels.com I booked many rooms more than half bore no resemblance to description on net, for a start no plunge pool half were duplex style dark smelly and shared postage stamp balcony. The others were stand alone as booked with bath were OK I paid exactly the same money for two different so called villas. My friends with the terrible villas were in tears so a few were moved the next day as they were fully booked the first night these were the lucky ones the others just had to wallow in the sub standard accommodation. Game very few and far between. We were told that a herd of elephants broke down the fence and went to Kruger I'm with the elephants.

Deluxe Glamping in the Bush. Great hospitality.
Nice family safari in the bush. The approach from the highway to the main gate is a bit daunting as you drive through a village of shacks. This did not give us confidence we had chosen the right place to stay and almost turned around. We are so glad we did not turn around and went all the way to the lodge. It is 1 hour all the way to the lodge from the highway, so plan your timing accordingly. Lodge was decent. Wildlife roamed the property and we co-mingled with the nyalas and monkeys. Fourene was the most amazing guide! Saw elephants, white rhinos, giraffes and much more!

All what had been promised and more
Bongani is located in its own reserve, between mountains, lakes and a few creeks, where animals roam freely and the sounds of different creatures make every minute a postcard moment. The hotel staff were very helpful and friendly at all times, caring for our every need. The food was delicious, very fresh and abundant, and our safari guide Noel made sure every ride was fun, interesting and always different (not an easy task after 4 nights and 2 safari-rides each day). I would definitely recommend Bongani to anyone who's interested in living an unforgettable experience in the South African wild side.

Bongani Mountan Lodge was an awesome experience!!!
Overall I highly recomend this hotel/lodge. It's located in the Bongani region, it actually sits on a mountain and it's a lodge so the name says it all. Directions were straight forward and easy. The drive was bumpy but hey, it's Africa. The staff was super helpful and friendly, the driver met us at the Welcome Center (on time). We saw animals on the way to the lodge which was cool. Once at the lodge the host took us on a tour and gave us drinks to cool down. The cottage was self-standing and away from other rooms (all were like this) and overlooking the valley. We could see animals roaming from our front porch. The food (breakfast, lunch and dinner) was very good and well cooked. I like the fact that there was no IT in the room, no TV, no Radio, No Internet, just a big 'ole tub and nature looking back at us. The indoor/outdoor shower was very cool. I am going back and would encourage you to go as well, you won't regret it!
