Each chalet has its own bathroom and extra beds can be added to the chalets to make Nkorho suitable for families with children. The lodge welcomes children of all ages and provides a baby-sitting service at an extra charge.

Nkorho Lodge Facilities

  • Lounge, Dining Area & Bar
  • Spa & Wellness Treatments
  • Main Viewing Deck & Infinity Pool
  • Outdoor Dining Area
  • Waterhole & Game Viewing Decks
  • Baby Sitting Service Available

Nkorho is a simpler lodge in comparison to some of the more expensive Sabi Sands accommodations but you have everything you need for comfort. The large indoor lounge and bar make a great place to socialise, and if it is good weather (as is normally the case), you can relax outside on the viewing deck where there is a swimming pool and sun terrace. Meals are served indoors or outdoors – most usually in the open-air ‘boma’, a traditional eating area lit by a blazing campfire and lanterns.

The lodge’s spa is available for wellness and beauty treatments (at an extra cost) and if you need to catch up with news back home or want to post a photograph or two, Nkorho has free Wi-Fi in its public areas.

Activities at Nkorho Bush Lodge

  • Morning & Afternoon Game Drives
  • Guided Bush Walks
  • Bird Watching
  • Spot-lit Night Drives

Nkorho Bush Lodge places an emphasis on the game viewing experience. Experienced guides and trackers lead morning and afternoon drives in search of the Big 5 – lion, elephant, leopard, rhino and buffalo – as well as equally exciting animals such as hippo, giraffe, wild dog and cheetah. Game drive vehicles are raised higher off the ground than normal and have open sides and roof, affording you excellent views of the action.

Your guide will also lead walks in the area around camp, the best way to slow down and take note of the smaller details of the environment – insects, animal tracks and flowers. Offered before breakfast in summer and after it in winter, a guided walk is also highly recommended for birdwatchers to tick off an extra few species on their list.

Reviews

Experience of a lifetime and wonderful service!!

Our extended family (16 travellers, including 8 children under ten years of age!) went on a wonderful safari adventure curated and organised by Walter Kohrs of Safari Online. It could not have been any better than we experienced. From our time in Cape Town, to visiting Victoria Falls, all the way through Zimbabwe and finally wrapping up at the amazing Chobe Safari Lodge, all the locations chosen by Walter were amazing.

His attention to detail, willingness to fine-tune and excellent responsiveness (over a period of several months!) could not have been better. He took time to visit us personally upon our arrival in South Africa, with lovely gift-packs and shared a wealth of advice, recommendations and tips. I cannot recommend Safari Online (and Walter Kohrs in particular) any higher. Absolutely amazing.

Absolutely Perfect

I was already last year in South Africa and Zambia organized by Safari Online. It was a absolutely gorgeous trip. Everything was perfect. This was the reason I booked this year in May and June an new trip to South Africa, Namibia and Botswana. I got everything I expected. It was a dream again. I know I´m coming back.

Outstanding experience!

We have booked at the Elephant Plains Lodge. We stayed there for a few nights and went on safaris. The lodge, the guide, the food and all the animals we have seen were fantastic. Really an outstanding experience. We can recommend Elephant Plains to everybody. Maybe you will not be as lucky as we were, becaucse we have seen the Big 5! But however you will not forget your stay at Elephant Plains.

The trip was sensational and tailored to our needs. Simply fantastic!

The care by Walter was great from planning to leaving Johannesburg. The accommodations were perfectly chosen. If after a few days you thought it could not be better, you were told otherwise. It was an increase every day, with the 3 days safari in the Kruger, including overnight in tree house, the grand finale.
I would book a trip anytime again at Safari Online.

We had a wonderful holiday with no hitches, perfectly planned for us and so professional.

Though we live in Australia, Safari online made planning for our family holiday so easy. Walter understood our requirements and nothing was too much trouble. The holiday was everything we wanted it to be and so much more. Every camp was ideally suited for our family and we loved each day, every early morning and evening game drive. Thank you to Walter for his attention to detail and his friendly, professional and caring manner. It was a trip of a lifetime and one that we will talk about forever.

Faultless service, attention to detail and quality of accomodations.

The communications and service from Walter was excellent, and we were continuously fully informed. The information package and book received on arrival were excellent. We felt that we had been allocated carefully selected lodges at each camp and every detail met or exceeded our expectations.
The safari tour was wonderful, and a particular feature was the variety offered at each location which combined perfectly

Trip of a lifetime: Five countries, six camps, Vic Falls, Big Five plus more game

In June/July 2016 we undertook a trip to Southern Africa to fulfill a lifelong intention. We stayed at six camps, safari style, and had a great time. All of our expectations were met or even exceeded. For example, we never expected to see honey badgers or sitatunga, given the secretive nature of those species, but we did! All travel arrangements and connections worked smoothly, which is astonishing since we had several dozen transfers and meeting points; all of the connecting personnel were prompt, professional, and welcoming.

Exceptional service ensuring a wonderful holiday. Highly recommended

Attention to detail & service provided was first class, from our very first email to the last day of our trip. Walter went above and beyond to ensure that we were notified of any changes, even up to our last day with a change to our flight time, at short notice. The safari was so much more than expected, from the rustic to the exceptional, every camp was different in it’s own way and our highlights are hard to single out just one as each camp was great.

Karina was absolutely instrumental to our safari success.

Our experience with Safari Online was excellent. After becoming very frustrated trying to search for a safari destination on our own, we turned to Karina for help and she was a lifesaver. She responded to our requests promptly and gave us several options with links to each option; we ultimately chose Lukimbi. She then coordinated our flights to and from the property, arranged the drivers necessary to get us from the airport to the lodge and back again, and sent the appropriate paperwork to each of us to verify each step of the process. We had an amazing safari adventure at the lodge–the experience of a lifetime–and are so grateful for her help. We literally couldn’t have done it without her!

Best experience ever!!

They provide us the most taylored and customized honeymoon possible! everything was much better than we expected. We loved the feeling of being in the middle of nowhere and everyone made us feeling so incredibly special and gave us a unique insight. Over our game drives we managed to see all the big five plus some!!
