Big Five Game Drives
Venture out at dawn and again in the late afternoon on expertly guided Big Five game drives.
Skilled guides and trackers work together to read the bush, following the stories written in tracks and sounds, leading you to unforgettable sightings of lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo, along with an incredible variety of plains game and birdlife.
Guided Bush Walks
Step out on foot and feel the bushveld in its purest form. Guided bush walks reveal the smaller wonders of the reserve like wild herbs, insects, tracks, bird calls, and hidden stories that vehicles simply can’t reach. It’s a sensory, grounding experience perfect for travellers wanting a deeper connection to nature.
Romantic Bush Dinners & Boma Evenings
Evenings at Kuname Safari Lodge are a highlight of every stay. The lodge’s chefs craft flavour-rich meals inspired by South African cuisine, served in unforgettable settings - from flickering lantern-lit bush dinners to atmospheric nights around the boma fire under a sky thick with stars.
Relax Between Adventures
After the excitement of the morning, return to the serenity of the lodge. Unwind beside the pool with views stretching across the riverbed, enjoy a quiet moment on your private deck, or indulge in an in-room spa treatment designed to restore and rejuvenate.
Cultural Experiences & Community Visits
Kuname Safari Lodge guests may also opt to visit local communities near the reserve, gaining insight into daily life, traditions, and conservation initiatives that support and uplift the region.
Bird Watching
Karongwe Private Game Reserve does not only offer the Big Five but an incredible bird life and century old trees. With over 250 different bird species, this area is a main destination for bird enthusiasts.
