Detailed location provided after booking

Scenic views
This lodge is located in Pongola in the KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa, near the border of Swaziland. From the lodge, guests will enjoy views of the Lebombo Mountains and Pongolapoort Dam (commonly referred to as Lake Jozini), which is surrounded by the Pongola Game Reserve, the Pongolapoort Nature Reserve, and the Hlatikula Forest Reserve.

The area abounds with wildlife, including antelopes, giraffes, warthogs, white rhinos, wildebeests, and zebras. It also abounds with birdlife, with 400 species of birds visiting or living in the area. In the lake, guests will find rare tigerfish—a very aggressive, piranha-like fish that is capable of attacking and catching birds in flight. These fish are one of the holy grails of game fishing, and the lodge specializes in organizing tiger fishing expeditions.

Other attractions in the area include the Pongola Golf Club, the Gem Stone Trail, Zulu Croc Farm, and the traditional village of DumaZula, where guests can take cultural tours with a local anthropologist. The site is about five hours and 15 minutes from Kempton Park, Johannesburg, where the nearest international airport is located.
