We are unique as we offer a BIG FIVE Kruger Park safaris whilst you stay in an authentic African village. All our Safaris are in open vehicles with registered tour guides. We are members of SATSA. Bongan Safaris would love to share the impressive Kruger Park and Blyde river canyon Panorama sights with you. The village invites you to come visit us.

My experience with Bongan was unforgettable
Since the first contat with Mr. Bongani, I have all the information and questionário clarified. The experience of a staying in an AFrican village was truly immersing myself in the local cultura. The Lodge is very tidy, the rooms are spacious, clean and arrange with great care. Breakfast is very complete and the dinner is served by a campfire, always with variety of dishes prepare by Lorrane with great care.
I did the 6-day safari, which I recommend to have more time to see the big five. All the guide did their best to ensure we were abre to see all the animals. The entre itinerary was followed and everything was organized, safe and punctual, including the transfer. The panorâmic route is a must. Finally, I would like to Express my deep gratitude to everyone at bongan. Thank you for helping me make this dream come True.

Home Away from Home Near Kruger, a Hidden Gem!
I first stayed at Bongan Safaris solo in December 2024, and I loved it so much that I returned in March 2025 with my entire family (a group of five). Both times, we had an incredible experience that felt more like staying at a warm, welcoming bed-and-breakfast than a traditional safari lodge. Nestled in a quiet rural village just outside Acornhoek, the lodge offers a peaceful, authentic atmosphere that still feels close to the action. It’s only about a 20-minute drive from Kruger’s Orpen Gate, which made it super convenient for our early morning game drives. I like how Bongan offers both Kruger and private game reserves in the safari package. Some of our favorite experiences included the sunrise bushwalks and sunset drives through the private game reserve full of wildlife sightings!
One of my family members has dietary restrictions, and I really appreciated how the staff at Bongan Safaris went out of their way to accommodate them with thoughtful meal options.
I wouldn’t hesitate to return again and highly recommend it for travelers looking for a budget-friendly, relaxed, and personal safari experience in the Kruger area.

Lovely and trustworthy person with a great sense of humour
We went to Bongani safari and stayed there for a week at his ressourt.
It had been lovely and joyful experience for my wife, our 9 year old and me. He and his team are very gentle, caretaker and cone with a good sense of humour though.
He was referred to by my former manager (as a student I worked in Cape Town 20 years back from now).
Everything else, like the food, the accommodation with bathroom and sleeping as well as the surrounding like safety and accompany was well and appreciated.
Should you think of going to see the Kruger and ask for a well skilled team to support and guide you, then this will be your place!!
