Accommodation options
While the itinerary price reflects the suggested accommodation, this tour is 100% tailor-made and our expert agents can help you select the best option for your tastes and budget.
Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve – Tongole Wilderness Lodge
A very small lodge, Tongole has just four cottages which are all located on the banks of the river, blending in with their natural surroundings.
The Southern Lakeshore & Cape Maclear – Pumulani Lodge
Pumulani is an ideal location for those who want some more conventionally luxurious surroundings after a safari, or for an introduction to Africa without too much culture shock. The views are magnificent and it is the perfect place for a few days of relaxation and exploring the lake.
