Private transfers to Pongola Game Reserve on the Phongolo River in northern KwaZulu-Natal — from King Shaka Airport, Durban, Umhlanga and Ballito.
About Pongola Game Reserve
Pongola Game Reserve is one of the oldest proclaimed game reserves in South Africa, situated on the banks of the Phongolo River in the far north of KwaZulu-Natal. The reserve borders the Pongolapoort Dam, a vast body of water that adds a distinctive aquatic dimension to the safari experience — boat-based game viewing and fishing are available alongside traditional game drives.
The reserve is home to the Big Five and a wide range of plains game. Its remote northern location, close to the Eswatini border, gives it a genuinely wild character. Pongola is well suited to guests seeking a less-visited reserve with a combination of bush and water-based activities.
