Description

Nkonkoni Fishing Camp is situated within the Pongola Game Reserve in the beautiful Pongolapoort Biosphere. The camps are located close to the southern shores of the Pongolapoort Jozini Dam, in the bird sanctuary part of the biosphere, and overlooks the western escarpment of the majestic Lebombo Mountains and the endless savannah woodland of northern Zululand.

Accommodation is offered in self-catering Chalets and Safari Tents. Each chalet sleeps up to 4 guests, is air-conditioned, and equipped with a fridge-freezer, mini-stove and oven, cutlery and crockery, linen and bath towels. Each chalet also a private outdoor shower, a bathroom with either a Victorian or a spa bath, a separate toilet, a private boma with braai facilities, use of a central boma with DStv, fire pit and additional cooking facilities and use of a communal splash pool.

Each Safari Tent sleeps up to 7 guests and is equipped with fans, a fridge-freezer, cutlery and crockery, linen and bath towels. Each tent has its own private bathroom facilities with an outdoor shower and toilet, a private boma for cooking with a 2-plate gas cooker and braai facilities, use of a central boma with DStv, viewing deck, fire pit and additional cooking facilities, as well as use of a communal splash pool.

The Pongolapoort Jozini Dam is home to hippos and crocodiles, and elephant, buffalo and various other wildlife can be spotted on the shores. The dam covers approximately 16,000-hectares, with a river stretch of approximately 5 km. The Pongolapoort Dam is the only dam in South Africa which is home to the fighting tiger fish, and Nkonkoni supports the catch-and-release method. Fishing takes place from boats, as well as from the shore. We have our own launch site.

Tigerfish can be caught all year round although fishing is best during the warmer months. The annual Tiger Fish Bonanza is held in September on the Pongolapoort Dam and attracts anglers from all over the country.

This area is also a bird watchers haven boasting over 400 species of birds, including less common species like the Heuglins robin, pink-backed pelican and osprey.
