Kongola accommodation from AU$35

Awesome location at the River in view of the Hippo Henry; stunning dinner - best on 2 weeks journey - excellent Chef.

A very well appointed lodge, upmarket rooms or large ensuite tents. In keeping with our safari theme we choose the tent. Large, 4 single beds, why 4 I don't know, very clean, large ensuite shower bathroom area at the rear. Similarly large kitchen area/veranda/dining area with river view. All perfectly clean and equipped to self cater all meals. The main reception, bar and restaurant is multi level with expansive views. We ate evening meals rather than cook and the buffet choice was varied and good with cold beers or reasonable wine.Breakfast was quite basic buffet, not great. WiFi at the lodge main areas only not in room. With 24 rooms, a few family rooms and 4 tents it's quite large for a safari lodge so you are likely to encounter tour groups of up to 20 at a time. Unfortunately this can give an impression of simply tourists rather than a safari lodge. Nice small pool area near the restaurant. The evening bar staff are friendly and efficient, and especially so for the game drive gentlemen.
