Garonga Safari Camp

Official Rating

‘Blessed by Mother Nature, honoured by Father Time’

A member of the Classic Safari Camps of Africa, Garonga Safari Camp offers lavish tented bedrooms with an abundance of space, enhanced by wide windows giving views of the surrounding bush land. This is a camp to re-define the very idea of a camp, with noticeable ‘straight lines’ creating architecturally pleasing spaces both inside and out. You’ll enjoy spending time in these delightful rooms, but the real fun begins outside where charming wildlife in its natural habitat is the real star. 

In Our Opinion

‘Meals are served in resort in typically South African ‘safari style’ – namely as a shared experience either within the dining room or on the external terrace or gathered around a camp fire. There is no bar / restaurant scene - but you don't have to without great food or any drinks of your choosing'

Restaurant

Whether a romantic table for two in the main lounge, out enjoying a bush breakfast, or under the stars at the Bush Boma, each meal at Garonga Safari Camp is an entire safari dining experience in itself. Meal locations and themes vary so you can enjoy the Makalali Game Reserve from all angles. All local and globally influenced cuisine is paired with the best South African wines and chefs gladly accommodate all dietary needs.
