Mongena Private Game Lodge

$$ | Mongena Private Game, South Africa Fodor's Choice

If you're looking for an authentic, malaria-free safari experience close to the airport, Mongena is a great option for a couple of nights without having to leave the province. The lodge is fenced in and has lovely thatched rooms overlooking beautifully landscaped gardens, a boma with fire in the evening, a swimming pool, and resident zebra, springbuck, and nyala that roam freely around the lodge, giving guests an additional taste of the wild. Safari drives, guided walks, and boat cruises on Mongena Lake are available. To get closer to nature, check out the luxury glamping options at "Little Mongena," an unfenced accommodation overlooking the picturesque dam.
