The stunning Karongwe Game Reserve is located atop the majestic Drakensberg Mountain Range in the Limpopo Province of South Africa.

Karongwe Camp is on the banks of the Karongwe River, southwest of the Kruger National Park. More than 60 mammal species and abundant birdlife can be spotted in this area.

Karongwe Game Reserve in South Africa is a unique safari destination that offers visitors an immersive and unforgettable experience. 

You will be able to see Africa’s Big Five in their natural habitat and more than 60 mammal species and abundant birdlife can be spotted at this expansive game reserve, including lion, leopard, cheetah, elephant, white rhino and hyena. With EcoTraining as your guide, you will have a safari adventure that you will never forget.

FLEXIBLE SAFARI ACTIVITIES

Custom Tailored Safaris: Daily activities can be tailor-made to the guests’ interests and preferences and the guides are suitably qualified to provide a professional experience on all aspects of the eco-tourism offering. From photography, to birding, to tree and plant identification, and geology.

The exclusive-use nature of the camp allows for a very flexible approach to the safari activities. Whilst there are opportunities for walking safaris, there is a well-equipped game viewer for those who rather wish to drive and explore the remote areas of the reserve.

Wildlife Sightings

There are over 60 different species of mammals and an abundance of birdlife that make for excellent opportunities to capture incredible photos. It’s not uncommon to spot lions, leopards, and cheetahs, as well as majestic elephants and white rhinos. And with a camp that isn’t fenced, you might even have some unexpected guests like hyenas that drop in for a visit in the evening.
