Forming part of the core area of the Bioreserve, is the oldest proclaimed Game Reserve in Africa (proclaimed on 13 June 1894) and the second eldest in the world. Today the Pongolapoort Bioreserve is managed to demonstrate the value of conservation in co-operation with the KwaZulu Natal conservation services, private enterprise and the local communities for sustainable rural development and community upliftment through eco-tourism providing the visitor with an interactive, enlightening participatory experience. Of particular interest among the plant species, an abundance of cycads occur in the Lebombo's. Fauna includes at least 25 indigenous fish species, 60 mammal species, over 300 bird species and close to 100 species of reptile and amphibia. Specially protected species include elephant, rhino, leopard, wild dog, martial eagle, bateleur eagle, lappetfaced vulture and cape vulture.

Accommodation is in nine twin en-suite thatched chalets all with air-conditioning and a veranda with a mini bar. All chalets have views of the river with basking crocodiles, hippo and water birds. Cool off on those hot Zululand days in the lodge’s private swimming pool. Enjoy a drink at the “Hippo Hole”, our fully licensed bar.

In order to fully experience and enjoy the rich natural and cultural diversity on offer, activities range from innovative adrenalin options such as rhino tracking and canoeing among hippo and crocodile, to the traditional night game drive and bird watching sunset cruise. The emphasis is on small group experience. From the eco-venturer to family getaway, the reserve offers something for all.
