Lodge
Information
MCH is the newest addition to the Garonga Safari Co. family. As a canvas tented camp, it embodies authentic safari style, yet has the added luxuries that make it a signature ‘safari for the soul’ experience.
MCH offers family or friend groups a private and intimate bush getaway, perfect for extended stays. If not booked out for a group, individual couples are welcome to make it home for their luxury safari stay.
Perched on a kopje (little hill), you can revel in panoramic views of the wild Makalali and Drakensberg Mountains beyond.
The four tents offer air-conditioning and WiFi. They are fully en-suite with a sumptuous bathtub and indoor and outdoor showers. Each features a well-stocked bar and indoor lounge that flows outside onto a private deck.
A proudly fully solar powered and self-contained camp, MCH has its own team of staff, game drive vehicle and guide for an exclusive Big 5 safari. A private Sleep Out Deck experience awaits the adventurous too. The main camp offers indoor and outdoor dining areas, along with the MCH Bush Boma and fire-pit designed to pair with delicious pre-dinner drinks.
After the morning and evening safari activities, you can laze by the pool, be pampered at the MCH Massage Sala or snuggle up with a good book by the library fireplace. For those who can’t leave the office behind, the library is equipped with WiFi, a working desk with PC and photocopier.
Suites
MCH has four tents and was created with little harm to the surrounding natural environment. It was made for exclusive usage. The tents have a charming, whimsical appearance from the outside, yet they are incredibly well-insulated, gorgeously furnished, roomy, and air-conditioned on standby generators and solar power. The décor is a difficult-to-describe eclectic mix that excels at showcasing a pan-African mentality. Animal prints and florals, Persian rugs and zebra hide, leather and canvas chairs, modern fixtures and furnishings next to fake antiques. It’s strange, soothing, and energising.
Enjoy a night under the stars on their safari Sleep Out Deck, complete with four-poster bed and dining table for two. A 20-minute drive from the main camp, you will be fully immersed in your natural surroundings overlooking a waterhole that is known to attract a visitor or two.
Dining
Let their resident chefs spoil you with their unique creations combining traditional dishes with international influences. Not forgetting the rich afternoon teas, fresh light lunches and indulgent breakfast spreads which, after your morning game drive, you will be able to tuck straight into.
Safari
Fulfil your safari dreams with twice daily game drives led by their experienced and knowledgeable guides. In addition to the Big 5 (elephant, leopard, rhino, buffalo and lion), look out for cheetah, spotted hyenas, wild dogs, hippos, crocodiles, diverse plains animals and colourful birdlife.
Stretch those legs and take a walking safari or ‘solitude walk’ with one of their experienced guides/trackers. Get that bit closer to nature and take the time to notice the beauty that lies in the detail of the surrounding bush. You also never know what you might bump into.
