My fiancée and I had 3 spectacular days at Muweti Lodge! Mike, Laura, Neil and staff are extraordinary people! The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming, we felt as if we were at home or visiting our parents' house because the reception and care they showed us were exceptional! They truly care about each guest's well-being and how everyone is feeling. We have dietary restrictions. Every meal was served considering our restrictions. Regarding the lodge, the experience of being immersed in the savanna is indescribable! The room is very comfortable and spacious, with a comfy bed, a very nice bathroom, and a balcony with an amazing view. You can see some many animals from within the property! They provide game drives twice a day, and it was incredible. We saw many animals! On the game drives their focus is always on providing the best experience for the guests! The meals were very good and diverse! Every night a campfire was lit and all people at place had a good moments!
We hope to return to Muweti soon! We are already recommending the place to everyone who asks us about our experiences in South Africa!

Overall, Chacma was really lovely. Great hospitality and lovely location. Stunning to have animals walk right past the lodge while you eat or lounge by the pool. Love the fact that it is small and intimate – allows for a personalized experience.

Very beautiful, awesome animals, comfortable, very good food, I have plenty of dietary restrictions and Skheto was the best cook and adapted everything for me! Rome-Marie was also an amazing hostess who made sure everything was perfect. We saw animals ( elephants, impalas and even a leopard) from the porch, restaurant and pool all the time!

The staff was so welcoming and looked after our every need. We were very fortunate to see so many incredible animals. Lucky to see all the Big 5. It didn’t feel crowded and you were not competing with other lodges when viewing the animals. Game Guide was fabulous and really added to the experience. Can’t wait to go back!

Naledi is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed. The level of quality service was extremely high. They always anticipated my every need and made sure that I did everything that I had set to do there. The facilities were all very thought out, so that you can maximize your experience at the reserve. The room was superb! The animals get really close to the hotel! The game drives, especially the knowledge of the guides (Oupa and Excellent), their spirit, it was truly amazing. I definitely recommend.

What a paradise! We loved every minute at Maninghi Lodge. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like kings and queens by Paul, Victoria, and the wonderful staff. We felt our stress just melted away. It is truly a beautiful setting. The river, the breeze, the animals .... everything is magical.
We saw lots of animals right in front of the lodge - hippos, monkeys, waterboks, warhogs, elephants.... The game drives are also amazing. Paul is an extremely experienced safari guide. We particularly loved the sundown drinks with all the animals roaming around us.
The food was so delicious. From breakfast to dinner, every meal was prepared with care. We loved the traditional potjie dinner and the wonderful open fire BBQ. Paul and Victoria went out of their way to make sure that our every needs were satisfied.

Emhosheni River Lodge was a wonderful place to stay. The place was immaculate, the staff were kind and attentive, the food was outstanding and the location was fantastic. We enjoyed our safari excursions on the Balule Reserve with William who went out of his way to ensure we had a fantastic and memorable time. He is very knowledgeable of the animals and great at finding them. Emmanuel, the lodge director, solved a problem for us that changed our trip from a potential disaster to a sigh of relief Everyone at Emhosheni went out of their way to make our time first rate. Many thanks!
Ideal for nature lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and have kitchen facilities. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than vacation homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.
Dinner and breakfast were excellent. For dinner we tasted ostrich that was cooked in the best manner
Elephants and impalas walking around and getting back from evening safari we met hyena close to the lodge. It made our staying with positive emotions that we stayed in wild area
Our stay at Lions Place Lodge was fantastic. The lodge is beautiful and well-maintained, with lovely rooms and views of the bush. The friendly staff gave us a warm welcome and were always ready to ensure we had the best time.
We enjoyed a delicious breakfast in the mornings and dinner in the evenings. The location is perfect for safari enthusiasts, offering easy access to stunning bush walks and game drives.
Overall, Lions Place Lodge exceeded all our expectations. We highly recommend this lodge and look forward to returning!
My partner and I stayed for 2 nights as a birthday gift. It was amazing. Guide, Millie was fantastic and we were able to see an abundance of game throughout our 4 game drives. On arriving back to the lodge after our morning or evening drive, Hardus and the other staff had breakfast/dinner ready to go and it was delicious.
During the day, we sat by the pool and watched the elephants stroll by!
We would 10/10 recommend.
The staff were excellent. On the safari's we saw heaps of animals. Our guides went out of their way to find any animal we hadn't yet seen. Seeing all the hippos coming out of the river was the highlight of our trip!!
We had such a lovely time at Muweti. It is a small and intimate lodge with great staff. We really enjoyed the food and the personal touches. We loved to see the elephants from the watering hole and the guides taught us many interesting things about the bush and the wildlife.
A real safari experience. We also enjoyed interacting with other guests.
Thank you to the Muweti team!
The lodge is in a beautiful private game reserve in Greater Kruger. The wild animals are right next to the vence. The rooms were clean, cosy, spacious and just what you need after a safari day. Xander is extremely hospitable and Helen cooks the best breakfast, lunch and diner for you (Italian style). We recommend doing the activities with Xander in Grietjie instead of doing it yourself in Kruger, as he knows everything about the nature and the animals.
We loved every second :)
This Lodge is really living up to the great reviews it already got.
We felt so welcomed into this lovely family.
We especially liked that we got an honest and realistic perspective on safari and living in the nature reserves.
The owners take a lot of responsibility and put a lot of work into creating an environment were tourists and the animals can enjoy themselves and be safe.
I couldn't recommend it enough :)
We liked everything. The road to the lodge is long and a little bumpy, but we enjoyed this as an extra safari. We always saw animals. The hotel is amazing and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone.
Our 3 day stay at lions place exceeded all of our expectations! The service, room and safari drives have all been amazing and if you are lucky many different animals come drink at the lodge. JP is a great host and really goes the extra mile to make your stay and game drives extra special. One of our most memorable stays ever!
We had such a great holiday there with all the experiences you want to have when booking a safari lodge. Compared to other lodges, I find the knowledge of the rangers particularly noteworthy. Warm hospitality, clean and beautiful rooms and delicious food also distinguish the lodge.
