An Exclusive Bushveld Retreat for Groups
Just over an hour from Johannesburg and OR Tambo International Airport lies one of South Africa’s most accessible Big 5 safari destinations. Set within the renowned Dinokeng Game Reserve, Mongena Under Canvas offers groups the opportunity to experience the atmosphere of a traditional African safari camp without the logistical challenges of travelling to remote wilderness areas.
Designed specifically for group travel, incentive programmes, conferences, special interest tours, and private celebrations, Mongena Under Canvas combines authentic bushveld surroundings with comfortable tented accommodation, dedicated event infrastructure, and the exclusivity that group organisers value.
Unlike conventional lodges or hotels, Mongena Under Canvas creates a true safari atmosphere. Guests wake to the sounds of the African bush, enjoy meals beneath the trees, gather around campfires under star-filled skies, and experience the sense of connection that only a tented camp can provide. The result is a destination that feels remote and immersive while remaining remarkably convenient to South Africa’s major transport hubs.
