Is the Little Garonga for Me?

Little Garonga sits within the Makalali Private Nature Reserve, a quiet corner of wilderness just west of the Kruger National Park. With only three thatched suites, this intimate lodge provides a secluded setting for travellers seeking a slower, more personal safari experience.

The suites are arranged around a central lounge and pool area, where you’re invited to unwind between game drives. Each suite is spacious and private, combining natural textures with comfort and understated style. Large decks overlook the reserve, offering uninterrupted views and a sense of calm that’s central to the experience here.

At the main lodge, indoor and outdoor lounges flow into a covered breakfast deck and relaxed dining spaces. A swimming pool with shaded loungers provides the perfect spot to cool off or enjoy a casual barbecue. A dedicated team fully services the lodge, ensuring thoughtful hosting throughout your stay.

Little Garonga is a fitting choice for couples or families looking for privacy and exclusivity within a classic Big Five safari setting. It suits those who value quiet luxury, relaxed independence, and a strong connection to the African bush.
