On arrival at Hoedspruit Airport your ranger from Garonga will meet you and transfer you to the lodge. Here your pampering begins. The lodge offers aromatherapy and reflexology treatments as well as Indian head massage. But for the ultimate bush relaxation, your hosts will take you to a secluded bath in the wild, where you are left to unwind.

Garonga Safari Camp is an exclusive 14 bed camp in the greater Makalali Conservancy situated West of the Kruger National Park. This unassuming sanctuary promises a more intimate wildlife encounter in an unhurried environment - somewhere where you can unwind, sleep deeply and be yourself.

Accommodation at Garonga includes full board, local beverages, safari activities and the bush bath.

You may sleep out on a beautiful deck in a secluded spot with stunning views over the bush. A sumptuous picnic hamper, a drinks box, and hot drinks are left on the deck for you and you will also be provided with a radio. The wash basin and toilet are near at hand. The deck is a 20min drive from the main camp and you will be collected the following morning.

This truly magical sleep out is included in the rate, but needs to be booked in advance.

After a leisurely breakfast and morning game drive, you are picked up by a chauffeur and transferred to Camp Jabulani in the Kapama Game Reserve. You spend the next 2 nights in this sumptuous 5 star lodge. Game is abundant in the Kapama Reserve, and what better way to enjoy it than from the back of an elephant? From this vantage point, you will be able to view game from close proximity as the elephants move silently and in a single file through the bush. Between game viewing activities you can relax in the camp which has a gym and spa facilities, as well as private splash pools.

Accommodation at Camp Jabulani includes full board, local beverages, game drives and the elephant experience.
