My experience with Bongan was unforgettable
5/5

Since the first contat with Mr. Bongani, I have all the information and questionário clarified. The experience of a staying in an AFrican village was truly immersing myself in the local cultura. The Lodge is very tidy, the rooms are spacious, clean and arrange with great care. Breakfast is very complete and the dinner is served by a campfire, always with variety of dishes prepare by Lorrane with great care.
I did the 6-day safari, which I recommend to have more time to see the big five. All the guide did their best to ensure we were abre to see all the animals. The entre itinerary was followed and everything was organized, safe and punctual, including the transfer. The panorâmic route is a must. Finally, I would like to Express my deep gratitude to everyone at bongan. Thank you for helping me make this dream come True.

Best Trip Ever
5/5

There is no better way to experience your 22 wedding anniversary than right here at Bongan. Husband and I had an amazing time. From the moment we showed up. We were treated like family. The food was flavorful, and Ms. Pat can cook. Petro our driver was knowledgeable. Hands down best guide ever. I can truly say they are now family. And I am already looking one my return. I can not put into words how I felt. There were moments of pure non rehearsed crying. Ever moment was beautiful. Just to be there, just to be present in the moment.

Godfrey was the best guide we could ask for
5/5

It was great! Godfrey was our guide for the whole experience, and we couldn't have asked for a better person to guide us. He knew so much about the animals and the places, and had a very interesting conversation as well. Would recommend it 100%!

Outstanding hospitality and an incredible safari experience.
5/5

It was a truly unforgettable experience that completely exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome at the lodge and went above and beyond to ensure every safari excursion was as enjoyable as possible.
Charlie, our guide, was absolutely outstanding, a true 10/10. His knowledge was impressive, and he made sure we enjoyed every single day to the fullest, including the Panorama Route.
The food at the lodge was also excellent and added even more to the overall experience.
An amazing experience that I would absolutely recommend.

AMAZING
5/5

An EXTRAORDINARY experience… we never imagined how fantastic it would be to live this adventure with BONGAN SAFARIS. From the reception by BONGANI, through the meals and care in the accommodation by LOREN (an extremely polite, friendly, helpful person with unparalleled care), and culminating in the safari led by PETRO, a very experienced, polite, and patient guide, who allowed us to experience life in the savannah and see the most diverse species that live there, such as lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, jackals, impalas, zebras, giraffes, elephants, buffalo, rhinoceros, wildebeest, wild dogs, kudu, hippos, ostriches, crocodiles, eagles, storks, countless species of birds, in addition to breakfast served in the middle of the savannah… IMPRESSIVE

Exceptional care and consideration
5/5

I had such a memorable trip and it was because of the personalised service I received from Bogani and his team. They carefully planned an adventure for me that was so exciting and thoughtful. I was traveling solo and did not not have a lot of time for my visit. From the moment my trip began it felt very special. A sunset safari on the first night was just so beautiful. They arranged a hike with park rangers which gave me such a different experience. But my very favourite time was being on safari over the two days with my tour guide Charlie. His knowledge of the parks and the animals was amazing. He was patient and considered in the way he planned our safari tours. He went out of his way to make sure we saw as many animals as possible. I just loved being able to quietly sit and watch the animals and birds in their natural habitat. He shared so much about the park and the African culture and was a lot of fun to be on tour with. An experience I will never forget. I stayed with Bogani at his lodges in the village. And this too was such a highlight for me because I wanted a more local experience. I felt like I was part of the family. The food and hospitality from Bogani, his family and team was beyond exceptional. I highly recommend Bongan Safaris. My next trip will be with my family as I want them to share the incredible experience I had. I look at my photos and cannot believe the adventure I had.
