Karongwe Game Reserve

About Karongwe Game Reserve

Karongwe Game Reserve is an untamed garden of Eden where the spoor of wildlife invites you to explore the timeless beauty of the bush; an oasis of unimaginable luxury provides the greatest vantage point to the Big Five and its vast, untouched wilderness.

Did you know? Sandwiched between Makutsi and Makalali reserves, Karongwe teems with game and a remarkable bird life that enjoys the diverse, dense vegetation that also provides a perfect cover for the leopard.

Karongwe Game Reserve is a 21000 acre wildlife paradise straddled between four rivers and is located just 45 minutes from the world famous Kruger National Park.

Karongwe Game Reserve teems with an abundance of game, birdlife and diverse dense vegetation which provides the perfect habitat for the most secretive of Africa's large cats, the leopard.

The game drive and walk experience in the Karongwe Reserve is a modern-day journey into the past when this expanse of pristine bushveld knew nothing else but a rich profusion of diverse game and virgin vegetation. The specially trained game rangers and trackers will take you on day and night drives in comfortable open four-wheel drive landcruisers.

Most of the rangers and trackers are Shangaan and bring to the game experience the richness of their culture and vast knowledge of nature. With their natural tracking abilities and Karongwe Game Reserve's modern bush telegraph, the rangers will go out of their way to bring you as close to the Magnificent Seven (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, rhino, cheetah and African wild dog) as they possibly can.
