8/10
My family and I stayed at Bongani Mountain Lodge 3 nights in January 2019. We arrived in a SUV rental car and used the route instructions on their website. The route from N04 and up to the parking area at the lodge was extremely difficult as the gravel road was filled with large holes and very large stones. Absolutely no way for an ordinary rental car. Only with very great success, we avoided getting the car destroyed. Without a 4x4 it may not be possible to run this way. We strongly recommend choosing the road through the village although it is longer it takes only half the time to drive.
When we arrived at the lodge, we had a fantastic stay. Every morning and every evening we were driven around on game safari of our ranger Absalom and his assistant Juba and the silent young man. The area is a mountain area where we do not have the opportunity to see the animals in advance, but we drove up and down the mountains and into the bush to find the animals. Our ranger Absalom was very professional and could show us the very fascinating places, animals and birds. He also has an incredible knowledge about wildlife and the area.
The rooms in the lodge were big, nice and clean. Staffs were very service-minded, helpful and welcoming.
The first night in the lodge we were served food which was really good. On the second day several guests arrived and the restaurant was turned into a buffet. A little more attention on the food would be appreciated.
