Nkorho Bush lodge is located in the northern Sabi Sand Game Reserve, a conservation area covering more than two million hectares. The reserve shares unfenced borders with the world famous Kruger National Park, as a result the diversity of wildlife to be seen at Nkorho is breathtaking and guests are often treated to sightings of some of the Big 5, even from the lodge itself, which overlooks a waterhole and open plain. Nkorho offers reasonably priced, comfortable accommodation for 12 guests in 6 en-suite thatched chalets.

More About Nkorho Bush Lodge
Nkorho Bush Lodge is a small, moderately priced and popular game lodge, which offers excellent game viewing. This four star lodge is beautifully located overlooking a wide open plain and waterhole, which has a permanent live webcam installed.
Twelve guests can stay in a choice of six stylish, comfortable en-suite thatched chalets. Some of the chalets face the watering hole and all have ceiling fans (no air-conditioning). We recommend chalets number 5 or 6, if these are available, as they have the best views. The lodge and its suites are decorated in natural wood tones with rustic wood furniture. The suites' cool stone floors and light breeze through the mosquito proofed windows ensure a welcome refuge from the African heat. The chalets have an inside and outside shower as well as a wonderful, deep round bath to relax in.
The outdoor dining at Nkorho is special. Breakfasts and lunches can be enjoyed on the open, thatched deck overlooking a large clearing and watering hole. From here guests are able to watch the animals come and go for their daily drink. Evening dining in the traditional African boma (African reed or wood enclosure) is also outdoors where a unique ambience is created by a crackling campfire and kerosene lamps. The food is plentiful and of good quality and staff will go out of their way to accommodate special needs.
The lodge offers an early morning and late afternoon game drive. The game drives are conducted by a qualified guide and knowledgeable local tracker. The open-air vehicles are in constant radio contact with others in the reserve enabling guests to be right there where the wildlife action takes place. At sunset, sundowners are enjoyed at a scenic spot in the bush after which the game drive continues as a night drive with spotlights, looking for leopards, lions and other nocturnal animals. Game walks are offered before (in summer) or after breakfast (in winter). Game drives and walks are included in the price.
Relaxation time can of course simply be enjoyed in or around the unique rock pool or rim-flow swimming pool whilst marveling at the rich diversity of game on the wide African plain below. The lodge has comfortable inside and outside lounge areas, as well as a well-stocked bar.
Guests have a choice of getting there by air, Johannesburg to Hoedspruit, followed by a road transfer directly to the lodge. By road the trip takes about 6 hours from Johannesburg. Nkorho is a friendly, intimate, well managed lodge recommended for those looking for an affordable safari destination with excellent game viewing, who do not require air-conditioning.
