Hongonyi wildlife reserve is situated in the Northern Province, in the heart of “Big Five Country”. Hongonyi, the local name for wildebeest, which is frequently seen in the area, covers about 1000ha. The original game lodge has been refurbished with respect for tradition and now contains all modern conveniences. This 3 star establishment with its refreshingly different ambience and informal relaxed atmosphere offers the wildlife enthusiast many photo opportunities and wonderful sightings at affordable rates.

At Hongonyi you can expect to see at least 20 different mammals and 250 species of birds. Witness Africa’s most glorious sunsets with sundowners on an evening game drive in an open 4 x 4 safari vehicle, and experience the thrill of close encounters with our big game, especially Rhino, Buffalo, Leopard, Cheetah and Spotted Hyena.

Enjoy exhilarating sunrise safaris on foot with experienced guides who are eager to part with their knowledge of the African bush, and show some of the smaller wonders that nature has provided, including the ’little five’ namely; The Ant Lion, Elephant Shrew, Leopard Tortois, Redbilled Buffalo Weaver Bird and Rhinoceros Beetle.

There is a curio shop for residents to purchase local crafts and is owner run. 
The deck is an ideal area to relax and catch up with reading or simply relax under the oversized umbrellas, cool off in the swimming pool situated under a huge Maroela tree. The deck is also ideal to view the animals coming down to drink at the waterhole.
The lounge area boasts a jet master for the cold winter months.
Dinners are normally served in the Boma area.
