Kulungi Riverside Lodge

Two luxury tents, five private, totally separate, spacious thatched chalets, two of which are equipped as self-catering units. All accommodation units have an en-suite bathroom, ceiling fan, mini bar and a private patio where guests can view the abundant species of game, including four of the BIG FIVE drinking at the waterhole or at the river. The fridges in the Self-Catering chalets are not stocked with Bar supplies. The chalets have air-conditioning, shower facility only, and can comfortably sleep a family of four. Each tent has a bath and shower and comfortably sleeps 3 persons. We regret that there is no air-conditioning in the tents. Unwind during the heat of the day around the sparkling pool and later enjoy a cold sundowner on the lodges’ patio, or at the cosy well stocked bar or better yet……… on your own private viewing verandah. There is DSTV available in the Bar area.

The restaurant has a lovely light wooden and bush appearance, where all meals including a Full Hot & Cold Breakfast and 3 Course Dinner are served each day/night. Outdoor dining under the stars can be enjoyed as well as a relaxing evening sitting around the large fire pit in the Boma.

Early morning and evening game drives with a ranger will reveal the wonders of the bush and enthusiastic ornithologists can view over 300 species of birds including the shy Purple Crested Lourie, the fierce and majestic Bateleur, to the rare Pels Fishing Owl. As we are a small intimate lodge we share the services of a qualified guide with other small lodges. These Game drives and Walks DO need to be booked in advance to avoid disappointment.

Golf enthusiasts can unwind on the very picturesque well renowned Hans Merensky Golf Course where it is common to see elephant, giraffe, warthogs, baboons and a variety of antelope crossing the rolling fairways. This course is only a 35 minute drive away. Other popular and highly recommended Self-Drive attractions in the area are the Amarula Lapa, Riverboat Safaris, Masorini Iron Works, Khamai Reptile Park, Moholoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre and the Cheetah Research Centre and Jessica the Tame Hippo. Elephant back rides can be arranged (80 minutes away).
