- Kuname Lodge
Kuname Lodge Kuname Lodge A small, unashamedly exclusive, luxury safari lodge set in the Karongwe Big 5 Private Game Reserve Kuname-outdoor-lounge.jpeg kuname-private-game-reserve-4.jpg kuname-exclusive-luxury-safari-lodge-gallery-2.jpeg Kuname-outdoor-lounge.jpeg 1/19 Location Karongwe Big 5 Reserve, overlooking the majestic Drakensberg mountain range in the Limpopo Province. DESCRIPTION: Set in the Limpopo Province, Kuname Lodge is a small, unashamedly exclusive, luxury safari lodge set in about 9 000 hectares of pristine African bush in the Karongwe Private Game Reserve. Bordered by an awesome backdrop of the towering majestic Drakensberg mountain range in the west and set in game-rich, lush, riverine vegetation, this lodge has a variety of breathtaking views, diverse landscapes and offers excellent Big Five game-viewing and bird watching opportunities. It really is a haven for those in search of a high quality and romantic bush experience! As you enter the lodge for the first time you will be blown away by the stunningly pretty location, with the lodge nestled in a beautiful forest glade with its swimming pool perched over a picturesque river bed. Built on the banks of the Kuvjename River, Kuname Lodge boasts 4 Luxury Suites and 1Premier Suite, all of them air-conditioned chalets nestled in the shade of the lovely riverine forest. The thatched chalets are elegant yet still quite rustic - built from natural materials of hewn rock and fine woods, they’re tastefully decorated with original arts and crafts to give that real feeling of Africa. One of the highlights for us is that each suite features an en-suite bathroom which includes an outdoor shower and for the more adventurous there's even an outdoor bath - the perfect spot to enjoy a romantic soak in a bath of bubbles lit only by candles and a canopy of stars! With just 5 rooms, this is truly a lodge where you can relax in a tranquil environment surrounded by the raw beauty of the African bush – and you can take it all in from your inviting private wooden deck. The main lodge houses a large, elegant lounge and dining area and cozy bar, which lead onto an elevated outdoor viewing deck which have fantastic views of the river and mountains. It's the perfect spot to relax with a ice cold drink whilst looking out for game in the riverbed below. A gorgeous infinity rock pool on the deck offers the ideal setting to escape from the heat of the day - if you're lucky you might even see a herd of elephants cross the river whilst you’re busy doing your own wallowing! Dining at Kuname is a delight with every meal an unforgettable occasion. Here you can take in the earthly scents of the African bush with a braai or a more elegant bush dinner can be savoured either around the roaring fire in the boma, on the wooden viewing deck or in the more formal inside dining room – or a more intimate dinner can be enjoyed for couples who wish to dine alone in the beautifully designed wine cellar! Traversing over 9000 hectares of prime bushveld with lovely views of the escarpment as your constant backdrop, Kuname is home to the Big Five as well as a wealth of other creatures – the Karongwe reserve is very well watered with 4 rivers including the perennial Makhutsi River flowing through the reserve. This enhances the game carrying capacity of the land as well as providing stunning riverine vegetation – add in the magnificent views of the towering Drakensberg escarpment and, dare we say it, but Karongwe provides arguably better game viewing and more pretty scenery than many of the better known private reserves in the lowveld! Whilst 9000 hectares is fairly small compared to some other reserves, we never even came close to traversing the whole reserve in the 4 days we spent there, so it feels plenty big enough. The quality of the game viewing we enjoyed was fantastic, with great sightings of a number of different leopards and the chance to track wild cheetah on foot being memorable highlights! Just one point to note is that the excellent last minute rates at the Karongwe lodges just include a single game drive a day to keep costs down – you are obviously free to go on the other daily game drive at a reasonable extra cost (this is actually quite a sensible approach as many people end up skipping at least one game drive as they fancy sleeping in for example!) Bush walks at Kuname are a chance to step into a world that few get the opportunity to experience and where you get to see animals at their own level. You’ll also learn about traditional medicinal plants from your Shangaan tracker, not to mention see veld skills in action that have been passed down from generation to generation! Afterwards retreat to the lodge and enjoy the stunning scenic backdrop as you sip a glass of champagne beside the cool, clear waters of the rock pool - or spend a lazy afternoon browsing the library while you unwind. Kuname Lodge will touch you deeply, rejuvenate you and soothe your soul, and quite frankly you will be blown away how the staff make you feel like a member of their ‘family' and treat you like royalty from the moment you arrive to the moment you depart! The hosting here is wonderfully warm and personal and makes Kuname one of our favourite lodges of all! RATE INCLUDES: Accommodation All meals 2 game drives daily with complementary sundowner HIGHLIGHTS: Kuname boasts a wonderfull location – nestled in a gorgeous riverine forest overlooking a riverbed with the nearby Drakensberg mountains making for a magnificent backdrop! OUR TIPS: As the furthest west of the lowveld reserves it is closer to Gauteng than most of the other private reserves in the greater Kruger area.

DESCRIPTION: Wilderness Savuti is situated in the private Linyanti Wildlife Reserve, set on the productive Savuti Channel which is famous as a sporadic and unusual watercourse. As part of a natural cycle, the waters of the Savuti Channel either flow strongly – a magnet for thirsty wildlife – or recede to leave behind a rich grassland. Regardless, both plains game and predators thrive, and exploring the length of this channel and its associated woodlands is thus a highlight here. Activities include day and night game drives, guided nature walks (seasonal and subject to the availability of a qualified walking guide), and boating (water levels permitting). The stylish Savuti Star Bed, overlooking the Savuti Channel and facing the Zibadianja Lagoon, to the west, offers an amazing sleep-out experience under the stars.

Additionally, other game concentrations are high, and apart from abundant plains game, species such as roan, and sable antelope, giraffes, lions, leopards, cheetahs, spotted hyaenas, black-backed jackals, and African wild dogs may be encountered. This area can be excellent for the rarely-seen aardvark, and aardwolf. With avian species recorded in their hundreds. This intimate camp’s en-suite accommodation is in six, canvas-and-thatch raised tents (including one family unit), all with sensational front-row views of the channel. From the camp’s expansive thatched main lounge, dining and bar areas, elevated wooden decks extend out over the channel bed. A small pool for refreshment, and fire deck for evening stories – being largely open to the bush – all ensure remarkable wildlife sightings. When the waters are low, a log-pile hide in front of camp provides a perfect setting to watch wildlife at the water's edge. Wilderness Savuti faces the renowned Savuti Channel, home to an incredible diversity of iconic African wildlife. This exceptional river system in the Linyanti Wildlife Reserve has confounded locals and visitors with its mysterious ebb and flow. These days it flows past the camp, which is positioned perfectly for watching the wildlife that has adapted to thrive along this mystifying river.

HIGHLIGHTS Botswana’s famous Chobe National Park is a must-see wildlife destination that includes the Savute Channel and natural beauty of the Linyanti River. Covering almost 11,000 km² (6,836 square miles), Chobe was Botswana’s first national park and remains one of its best, boasting the biggest concentration of wildlife in Africa. An oasis in a dry, at times desolate region, Chobe National Park’s Chobe River offers an irreplaceable lifeline to the reserve’s wildlife. The largest concentration of elephant in Africa occupies this park and, in the mid- to late-afternoon, herd after herd comes down to the Chobe banks, some small in number and others counting in the hundreds. Each takes its turn to drink the precious water, swim in the cool river or just jostle for position. Inland from the river is a semi-arid habitat, while around the oasis vegetation is abundant. Herds of sable antelope, mostly seen in the dry regions, can be spotted coming down to drink, only to disappear back into the drier areas. Special game sightings include the indigenous and endangered puku antelope that can only be seen along the Chobe River banks and in pockets in the Linyanti swamps, along with roan antelope, giraffe, kudu, bushbuck, waterbuck, zebra, wildebeest, warthog, lion, leopard and the occasional African wild dog. Large herds of buffalo are found along the Chobe riverfront and grazing on the islands, crossing from one to the other or back to the mainland.
