Best Lodge Experience!

The lodge's infrastructure is perfect, super intimistic but at the same time just renewed, clean, cozy. I felt at home, super comfortable, taken care of. The food was amazing, the drinks and wine were perfect. The staff was super atentious, careful and welcoming. It could not have been better. I definetly would come back and will recommend it to everyone interested in visiting South Africa.

Treated like Family

From the moment we arrived with Leonard, Solly, Zelda, Gladys and Niklas waiting to welcome us, to the moment we left - the team at Kwenga made us feel 100% at home. Thank you so much for spoiling my family. The accommodation, the game drives...the food! Kwenga is a gem in the heart of Hoedspruit.

Highly Recommend

Came here in November with my mom! We had an incredible time and would go back in a heartbeat! The staff treated us so well and made us feel at home. We were so well taken care of. 😄 If you’re not sure where to go, I can’t recommend it enough. Also, Solly’s cheesecake is phenomenal and he was gracious enough to share his recipe with us.
