Traffic jams look a little different on safari.

Two male lions, one game-drive vehicle and absolutely no reason to be anywhere else.

This is Africa. This is Garonga.

Hello November!

This month in our part of the world brings warm days, the promise of summer rains and new life in the bush. We look forward to welcoming our guests for another month of wildlife encounters and time spent in the African wilderness.

Rugged where it needs to be, comfortable where it counts.

Under the hood of our new INEOS Grenadier Quartermaster KAVANGO game drive vehicles, there’s permanent four-wheel drive, an 8-speed automatic transmission, a two-speed transfer case and centre differential lock, giving the vehicles the capability to handle varied off-road terrain.

And then there’s the part that matters most to our guests: three tiered rows of seating designed to give everyone a clear view of the bush and the wildlife beyond.

Ready for plenty of kilometres in Makalali!

A new era of exploration in the Greater Makalali.

In case you missed it, the Garonga fleet welcomed three new INEOS Grenadier Quartermaster KAVANGO game drive vehicles, joining two Toyota Cruisers and a spruced-up Land Rover from our previous fleet.

With a total of six game drive vehicles, we have even more ways to explore the Greater Makalali Private Nature Reserve - from early starts and long days in the bush to plenty of kilometres in search of incredible wildlife.

We can’t wait to explore Makalali in style.
