The stay
A more immersive Mongena stay
Little Mongena trades the fenced gardens and larger facilities of Main Lodge for ten safari tents overlooking the dam in an unfenced bush setting. With only 20 guests, the experience is quieter and more safari-led.
A good fit for older families and small groups
The camp's minimum age of 12 and two-activity daily rhythm suit guests who are ready to make wildlife and the bush the focus of the stay. Dinokeng is close enough to Gauteng to avoid a long transfer day, so Little Mongena can work as a first or last safari night around Johannesburg. Families with children under 12 should look at Mongena Main Lodge instead.
