General information:
A mere 20 minute drive from the River Port City of East London, Mpongo Private Game Reserve offers a unique blend of an up-close wild life experience, exquisite accommodation and an enchanting restaurant. Home to the big five, hippo, giraffe, zebra and numerous antelope species, Mpongos rolling hills and river valleys give the visitor the opportunity to come into close contact with Africa through game drives and bush walks.

Location:
Easy to find, Mpongo is only 25km, or 20 minutes, from East London along the tarred and well sign-posted Stutterheim Road. Its close proximity to the city means that guests can drive into town for shopping, cinema or theatre entertainment, or to take in the area’s gorgeous blue ocean and endless sandy beaches.

Area:
Refreshingly different and genuine in its hospitality, East London is regarded as the Gateway City to the popular Eastern Cape tourist routes, namely the Sunshine Coast and Country, the Wild Coast and the Friendly N6. 
Balmy summers and an abundance of winter sunshine make East London an inviting holiday destination for all seasons.

Recreation:
Activities include bass fishing in one of our fresh water dams, leisurely meanders on horse back through the reserve, where you will come into close contact with abundant wild life, bush walks accompanied by an expierenced field guide and game drives aboard a game viewing vehicle. Dine at the Huberta Restaurant, overlooking the -Hippo pool, where diners have the rare opportunity of coming face to face with one of Africas most dangerous animals. The Huberta Restaurant offers a delightful mix of traditional African, game and european dishes, to the uniquely African expierence of sitting around a huge open fire whilst enjoying lamb on-the-spit and traditional African pot roast -potjies- under the stars.

Rooms:
A stunning six-bedroomed guest lodge with spacious cabin-type lounge and superb African decor assures visitors a comfortable luxury stay at Mpongo. Each bedroom is complete with its own ensuite, and a roaring fireplace in the large but cosy sitting room warms the chilly African air during winter months.
