Tomo Safari Lodge: Where the Wild Comes to You
If you've ever dreamed of seeing lions from the comfort of a luxury lodge pool, Tomo Safari Lodge in South Africa is where dreams meet reality. Located within a private game reserve near Kruger National Park, this boutique-style safari lodge offers an extraordinary all-inclusive experience with wildlife encounters right on your doorstep — or should we say, poolside.
The Lodge Experience
Tomo Safari Lodge blends rustic African charm with creature comforts. The spacious, well-appointed rooms include strong Wi-Fi (perfect for sharing sunset snaps in real-time), comfortable bedding, and thoughtful design that invites you to unwind between exhilarating game drives.

Wildlife and Game Drives
One of the highlights of staying at Tomo is the chance to witness wildlife without even leaving the lodge. Imagine sipping a chilled drink by the pool while watching a pride of lions pass by — that’s exactly what happened during our stay.

Safari Animals and Nature
Of course, the twice-daily game drives are the true stars of the show. Guided by experienced rangers, you'll head out in open Toyota Land Cruiser to explore the reserve's diverse ecosystem. From elegant giraffes and curious zebras to a rare glimpse of a lioness at night, every outing offers something unforgettable.
Guests and visitors can admire breathtaking views of the far-off Drakensberg Mountains, the picturesque winding Umhlametsi riverbed, and the expansive open areas of the Leadwood and Cheetah plains. Tomo Safari Lodge epitomises the African bushveld, surrounded by remarkable flora such as Marulas, Jackelberries, and Knobthorns.

Dining and Drinks
Guests are treated to three meals daily, with drinks included — a rare luxury in many safari stays. The cuisine is hearty and flavoursome, and the bar is always ready with a refreshing drink to toast a day well spent in the bush.

Time to Relax
Between drives, the lodge offers a peaceful escape. Whether you’re reading in your room, enjoying downtime by the pool, or soaking in the expansive views with a sundowner in hand, Tomo makes it easy to switch off from the outside world and tune into nature.
