Noka House
Noka House is an exclusive-use villa — designed for families or small groups seeking privacy, space, and a deep sense of connection to the wild.
Formerly known as Kuname Manor House, Noka House has been reimagined to reflect its unique place within the Karongwe Private Game Reserve — a secluded riverside retreat where wildlife rhythms, open space and unhurried living shape every stay.
Sleeping up to six guests, Noka House offers a safari experience that feels personal, flexible and relaxed — ideal for families travelling together or groups wanting to share time without sacrificing comfort or privacy. It represents luxury safari accommodation in South Africa at its most personal.
The villa accommodates guests across:
Two elegant en-suite bedrooms with king-size beds
A cosy loft with two single beds, perfect for children or additional guests
Each bedroom opens directly onto the deck, allowing the sounds of the bush — birdsong at first light and night calls after dusk — to flow gently into the space.
Loft Room
Tucked above the main living space, the loft room offers two comfortable single beds, making it an ideal hideaway for children or additional guests. Elevated and cosy, it provides a sense of adventure while still feeling connected to the heart of the villa. From here, soft light filters in through the trees, and the sounds of the bush create a gentle reminder that the wilderness is all around. Noka House is perfect for a luxury family safari.
