Makongo Hills

This is a home away from home, offering affordable accommodation for 10, perfect for ‘Bubble Travel’ i.e. single group use. Also suited to couples, small groups, or families with older children. Makongo Hills is a fully catered lodge and meals are prepared with a proudly local flavour.  Conservation and sustainability are practiced, and as an off-grid lodge, is working hard to reduce the carbon footprint. The Makongo Hills Team are particularly involved in the upliftment and upskilling of the local community, and in projects to protect rhino.

Everyone, from cooks to rangers, work hard at tailoring an experience that will allow you to find your piece of wild-heaven.
