This is a very delayed review however I must say our holiday last year with Garonga was perfect and it still makes me smile looking back on it so had to leave a review. I would go back in a heartbeat. The service received from the moment we arrived was excellent and personalised, staff got to know what drinks etc we liked and made sure they were always to hand. We didn't have to worry about anything, everything was organised for us and we were kept up to date with options/timings/plans. The accommodation was luxury and spotless. We were in a small camp with only 4 tents (tents is an understatement) so everything had a personal touch. We were actually on our own for a couple of nights and then joined by two more guests for a couple of nights so felt very spoiled. The tents are large with comfortable beds, a lounge area that is regularly stocked with fresh drinks & snacks etc and a large en suite. It then opened out onto our private decking area with great views and an outdoor shower and bath. The swimming pool and lounge/bar area along with the dining area were all spotless too and had great views and a intimate feel. Very quiet and peaceful, slept great! The twice daily game drives were amazing, we were asked what we wanted to see most and they would tailor the drives to us. We soon saw the big 5 and more. They were full of knowledge and happy to answer our questions. The food was also amazing, plenty of choice good quality and they can personalise to your specific likes/requirements. Overall excellent and would highly recommend!

I was a little apprehensive about visiting South Africa as was unsure how the Country and camp would cater for Gluten Free guests. It’s safe to say, I had the most amazing and delicious experience eating at Garonga. Every meal I ate was served with care and thought. All staff were understanding and supportive, ensuring safety. I’ve never experienced anything like this before. I ate like a “normal” person and never felt like anything was too much trouble. There were so many options with large portions, I felt guilty not to eat every single thing! I experienced no symptoms throughout the 5 nights we stayed. I wish all eating establishments in the world was like Garonga!! My husband did not have any complaints about his meals either, every meal was crafted with care by the chefs. You could appreciate the quality of each meal, and everyday dining was turned into an experience to enjoy. Everything at the camp was just perfect for us and our honeymoon. It was very peaceful and the atmosphere was very calming. Our room was quiet, contained everything we needed, and the turndown service each evening always ensured we had a comfortable nights sleep. All the staff were always friendly, and nothing was ever too much trouble. The camp was always spotlessly clean, and well kept in outdoor areas. Our guide (Nathan) and tracker (Roy) were faultless. Roy was especially impressive with his knowledge and skill. The night security (Colin) was always happily available to protect us at night, and provide our friendly wake up call. The location of the reserve/camp wasn't too far from the airport, and there was always animals to see on safari within the reserve, big and small. The only area of disappointment was the laundry, where one item was not returned/lost. The management were made aware but could not locate the item. We would love to return to Garonga in the future, as the stay was such good value and so enjoyable. We thank you for a pleasant stay.

We Stayed in the MCH Private Tented camp. The rooms are to a very high standard and private. We were just 4 in the camp and dinner in the evening, looking out over the bush is one of the moments you want to pinch yourself - life does not get much better than this! The drives themselves, I really like, as you have to realise that you might see nothing for 2 hours and then suddenly a pack of wild dogs and 5 minutes later Black Rhino. Both Special and rare.

“Great Place to See Animals”

Exceptional place to get close and observe animals. Elephants wander through the lodge. Staff are very attentive and helpful. Quality of food and accommodation is high
