A paradise on earth
Wow, what a place. We are not newcomers to safaris but we were blown away by Kaingo. It may not have as many animals as some other reserves but the animals are in excellent condition and a testament to the fact that conservation is the owners’s first priority. That said, they know how to look after their guests as well. The rooms were wonderful and the cuisine (presented in inimitable fashion) by the wonderful Chef Peter superb. It is the most heavenly place, an oasis of calm, miles from anywhere. Our guide, Dumisani was a walking enclopedia on Bushcraft and all the animals plants etc. I cannot commend Kaingo highly enough. Not cheap by South African standards but worth every penny. “The best place ever” declared all four of our children.

Great Stay
We had a fantastic stay in this great game reserve. The staff are fabulous and couldn't have been more attentive and caring. We food was great and Marcus, the man who looks after your every need, was wonderful. The grounds and gardens are beautiful with a group of warthog wandering around as a mobile decoration. The rooms are very comfortable with everything we needed, a king size bed and an enormous bathroom. The morning and evening game drives were awe inspiring. Our guide was brilliant, he was full of information about the animals, big and small as well as the foliage. Marvelous stay, we will be back!

Der absolute Wahnsinn!!!
Wir verbrachten in den Herbstferien 2017 mit unserem 4 Kindern (17,14,10,7) eine Safari-Woche in Südafrika. Die ersten 4 Nächte schliefen wir im Naturreservat Welgevonden in Zelten, wo wir wahnsinnig viele Tiere gesehen haben (Wild Ivory Eco Lodge). Hier hatte uns bereits alles super gefallen. Nun waren wir ein wenig ängstlich, ob es uns in der neuen Unterkunft, Kaingo, ähnlich gut gefallen würde. Die Fahrt dorthin dauerte ca. 1,5 Stunden, bedingt durch Schotterpisten auf beiden Seiten, denn beide Lodges liegen Mitten in der Natur und fernab von asphaltierten Straßen. Die Distanz ist sehr gering zwischen den beiden Lodges. Bei Ankunft reichten uns reizende Mitarbeiter warme, feuchte Frotteetücher, um den Staub der Fahrt abwaschen zu können und heißen Kakao, weil es an diesem Tag frisch war. Allein der riesige Empfangsbereich ist wahnsinnig beeindruckend. Die Lodge wird erst seit 1 Jahr an Gäste vermietet. Vorher war es ein "Ferienhaus". Der Eigentümer lebt auf Mauritius. Alles ist weitläufig und wunderschön eingerichtet. Wir wurden in einem Bungalow mit 2 Zimmern untergebracht, mit Durchgangstür. Alle 4 Kinder schliefen in einem Zimmer, in dem anderen wir Eltern. Dazu 2 Bäder, eines mit Badewanne, das andere mit Dusche und Badewanne. Vor dem Bungalow eine wunderbare Holzterrasse auf der man in bequemen Stühlen im Halbschatten den Anblick auf die herrliche Anlage genießen kann. Jeden Morgen + jeden Nachmittag ging es auf Safari in das 15.000 Hektar große Naturschutzgebiet.
