The perfect place!


Accommodations are most comfortable and convenient; meals( food and atmosphere) were excellent; big 5 were there (4/5 on day one in pm,and 5/5 on day 2 in am); owners and personnel are fantastic. We have superb souvenirs from our trip to SA, but GwalaGwala is the best!

Description



Karula Lodge is a small, intimate game lodge built to host a maximum of 14 people (7 tents). The individually named units nestle discretely under a canopy of trees in the natural bush to ensure solitude and privacy. Each Tent is built on a wooden platform raised in the trees on sturdy stilts. The lodge is fully electrified & all tents have their own en suite bathroom & private deck. You have a choice of twin, double or queen sized beds. All bedrooms are fully insect proofed as we are situated in a low risk malaria area. We have spared no effort to ensure great comfort. The Tents are all equipped with fans for the warm summer days & heaters & electric blankets for those chilly winter nights so that at all times you enjoy a comfortable temperature in your room. We also provide Tea/Coffee facilities, hair dryer & fridge in each unit to add to your comfort.
