Fancy a Garonga 'Soul Safari' for Valentine's?

Garonga Safari Camp is a wild, untouched and (best of all!) largely undiscovered romantic getaway - perfect for the ultimate Valentine’s break! This luxurious, privately owned wildlife reserve near The Kruger National Park in South Africa, offers a unique, holistic experience for a fraction of what one might expect to pay!

Garonga is offering a fantastic Valentine’s Special for the month of February 2006. For just R2,750 per person per night, couples can escape to this romantic retreat for a decadent weekend of pampering – and * enjoy a complimentary massage each in the romantic bush sala *. This includes accommodation, all meals, all local drinks, 4x4 game drives in search of big game such as elephants, rhino, lion and leopard and guided bush walks where guests can really learn to appreciate Mother Nature - up close and personal.

The camp is intimate and owner-run, offering just six luxurious double suites with billowing canvas roofs and tastefully selected furnishings. But it is the personal touches that make Garonga so special – the elephant dung lampshades, crisp mosquito nets draped over a king size bed, your very own hammock on your private balcony and a romantic outdoor shower - not to mention an unforgettable bush bath for two under the stars! A winding path, lit by lanterns, leads the way to an open enclosure and a Victorian bath, surrounded by burning candles, lanterns, and the gorgeous smell of lavender oil. Thoughtfully supplied bathrobes, slip-ons and a variety of bath oils and salts complete the picture.

And if that isn’t romantic enough - imagine being alone with your Valentine in a tree house in the bush overlooking a waterhole, some distance from the camp, for a sleep out - complete with a delightful picnic basket dinner for two… Enjoy the night sounds as you retire to comfortable beds with only a shroud of mosquito netting between you and the Milky Way constellation above.

For the less adventurous, pampering aromatherapy and reflexology sessions in Garonga’s open-air massage sala are reasonably priced and highly recommended! Add to this mix a team of staff dedicated to meeting your every whim, a relaxed atmosphere and delicious food that defies anyone not to gain a few pounds - and you get an inkling of what Garonga is all about!

Garonga also offers some fantastic wedding, honeymoon and extended stay packages, all of which combine well with a beach add-on along the KwaZulu-Natal coastline or even in Mozambique. Garonga can provide transfers from Phalaborwa or Hoedspruit airports. For more information visit garonga.com.

* free massage per person for all guests spending 3 or more nights at Garonga.
