About Kwenga Safari Lodge

Kwenga, meaning ‘the lead buffalo’ is a refined and elegant lodge. The 8 thatched chalets at Kwenga are designed to create a delicate mix of elegance and simplicity. Dining under the African night sky is an exceptional experience where you hear the roar of a lion in the air. At Kwenga, meals are served in the ‘boma’ where you are wrapped in the intimacy of the galaxy of stars above. A stunning waterhole is situated close by and is frequented by all of the game species affording guests wonderful sightings whilst enjoying a cocktail on the terrace. This is a true African safari holiday spot where you are woken early for your guided safari tour or bush walk amongst the Big Five.
