Located just 35km from the coastal city of East London, Mpongo Private Game Reserve offers discerning guests a one-of-a-kind game viewing experience. Leave city madness behind and enjoy warm welcomes and true South African hospitality at the beautiful River Lodge set on more than 3 500 hectares of conservation land. Deriving its name from the Umpongo River which features prominently in Xhosa History, Mpongo provides guests with gorgeous suits decorated in European style, sweeping landscapes, a sparkling natural swimming pool and of course, all the game a holiday-maker could desire. Home to the elephant, lion, hippo, buffalo, giraffe and numerous antelope and bird species, privileged visitors can come face-to-fur with magnificent members of the Mpongo animal kingdom with a daily game drive. When you’re not spotting lions and laughing with the hippos, enjoy delicious meals at the thatched-roof Huberta restaurant which overlooks the sweeping property.




 

When you’re not exploring the rolling hills, endless river valleys and luscious surrounds of the Mpongo Reserve, guests can try spotting some of the reserve’s 250 species-strong bird community, sunbathe by the natural swimming pool or relax in the Boma with a good book while sipping on fresh beverages. If you’re looking to explore further than the reserve, experience the East Coast’s unspoiled coastal line by spending the day at one of the many beautiful sandy beaches or partaking in several recreational water activities. Golfers can practice their swing right next to the beautiful Indian Ocean at the East London Golf Course – one of the top golf courses in South Africa – while historians can explore the Port City of East London by visiting attractions like the Ann Bryant Art Gallery or The Steve Biko Garden of Remembrance.
