Overview
Step out of the city and into the majesty of the South African bushveld at the award winning Pondoro Game Lodge
At Pondoro Game Lodge guests can expect an intimate and luxurious safari adventure like no other, a truly bespoke experience. We strive to provide the perfect balance for those looking for a vacation getaway that is both romantic and exclusive, while offering guests a wide range of activities with our expertly detailed safari packages.
An African safari allows you to connect to nature in all its forms. It is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of one of the world’s most beautiful and ecologically diverse landscapes. The Kruger National Park Game Reserve is world renowned as the home of the Big Five, but it contains hundreds of species of fauna and flora. Situated on the banks of the Olifants River, Pondoro Game Lodge is the perfect place to sit back, relax and become one with nature.
Safaris are often described as life changing and at Pondoro Game Lodge we pride ourselves on providing an experience that is both magical and unique to all our guests. Let us take care of your every need, as you become part of the age old African story unfolding before your very eyes. Expert rangers and trackers, led by Pondoro owner Robbie Prehn, conduct morning and evening game drives. Their intimate knowledge of the area adds a new layer of understanding to the experience, inevitably leading to a new appreciation of the wondrous plants and animals which surround.
