Offering an outdoor pool and a veranda with views of the Northern Drakensbergs, Mbizi Bush Lodge is a small lodge nestled in the Grietjie Game Reserve.

The lodge was amazing , far exceeded our expectation. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel like family by Bjorn , Divya and their two adorable little boys who seemed to know more about animals than I thought humanly possible . Divya is an amazing cook , going to great lengths to ensure that each meal was a culinary experience. Her passion for food is contagious, and I can honestly say I’ve never eaten so well. Bjorn’s passion , dedication and knowledge for the wildlife of Grietjie was always evident, not only during each game drive , but also during the long conversations he shared with myself and my granddaughter. My granddaughter and myself spent 2 weeks at Mbizi, each day brought a new adventure, from Elephants visiting to drink from the pool , to giraffes wandering over to the lodge to just hanging out , to emergency treatment of a baby elephant that had been injured in poachers snare which unfolded before our eyes. Divya and Bjorne went over and beyond to ensure our experience was memorable , they even invited us to join them for Mother’s Day Lunch . There are no words to express our gratitude, thank you Divya, Bjorn , Noah and our little wild child Luca.

Muweti Bush Lodge

The experience offered by Muweti Bush Lodge is the best you could ever wish for. The place is enchanting, and having the opportunity to sleep while witnessing the spectacle of nature, with animals coming to the waterholes to quench their thirst, is incredible and moving.However, the real gem is the staff! A fantastic family that will pamper you from the first to the last moment, answering all your curiosities with expertise. The meals are expertly prepared, and Mike's barbecue around the fire is truly relaxing. The game drives are spectacular, with an intense and meticulous search, and they will do everything they can to show you the Big Five.Anyone wanting to have such an experience must come here.

I had the most wonderful 3 night stay at iMbamuweti cottage! The cottage was immaculately clean, beautifully decorated, and fully equipped with everything I could possibly need as I was self-catering. The location was perfect—peaceful, idyllic and wildlife walking literally outside the fence. As hosts, Mike and Laura were incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring I had everything I needed. The attention to detail was evident throughout the cottage and I especially loved relaxing in the private garden next to the splash pool. The cottage was cleaned daily, and a fire made up for me outside each day. Game drives were organised through the main lodge and I did two of these in the afternoons and had incredible sightings with very experienced and knowledgeable guides. I will definitely return and stay for longer next time. I highly recommend this beautiful cottage to anyone looking to relax and take in the sights and sounds of the African bush.

Meals were great. Rooms are large, comfortable and very clean. Michel & Aruna were very welcoming and have a wealth of knowledge about the animals, birds and area. We had elephants in the garden and left tea half way through to go Lion spotting

We had a wonderful time here. The entire team went above and beyond to give us a unique experience. The location and accommodations are fantastic. From your comfy couch and pool, you can spot elephants, crocodiles, and hippos. We even spotted a leopard on the boat trip on the Olifants River. Thank you, Cathleen, for spoiling us. And thanks to Chef Geshom, Eucan, Godfrey, and guides Aron and Amos. We'll have wonderful memories of you. Chantal & Francis

From

Chacma is the perfect place from which to explore the big 5 and the broader SA safari experience. The setting is natural and beautiful with meals eaten outside to make the most of the waterhole and potential for wildlife spotting. Between safari rides comfortable rooms, shady spots across the camp and the pool provide the perfect setting for reading and relaxation. With just three rooms at Chacma, you’re guaranteed a much more intimate experience than staying at a bigger location. As a solo traveller the real highlight was the friendly and fun team behind Chacma: Matt, Josh and Charlie are fantastic, passionate guides who guaranteed that each trip out provided memorable, safe experiences while Karen, Lynx and the wider team at Chacma ensured a comfortable stay. You’ll learn so much from this team and they are only too happy to share their knowledge and experience with you. A special place I can’t wait to return to.

    A fantastic private lodge with a beautiful rooms and tastefully decorated. The host Ian is outstanding as a person. If you are there especially for the hide photography I would recommend 4 days. We were unlucky with the two days we stayed in terms of sightings but that all changed the day we left. Hence would recommend at least 3 if not 4-5 days to better your chances.

    Nice, fairly small private reserve in the Greater Kruger. Some very nice and still affordable lodgings available who also provide game drives, game walks etc. Very close to Phalaborwa gate into Kruger.

    its a big 5.

    its a big 5. BUT because of so many private properties you can not game drive much of the reserve like other reserves and also within the reserve the owners of the lodges seem to not like each other that much. they gossip a lot about each other ( i did stay in different places in this reserve ) and i did not have this issue in other game reserves.

    Dear Lengau Lodge Team,

    Dear Lengau Lodge Team, We would like to sincerely thank you for our three-day stay with you. Loek and Ilse warmly welcomed us upon our arrival and patiently explained everything to us. On the same day, we went on an afternoon safari with Loek, which was simply wonderful. On the way to the lodge, we even encountered a group of elephants. Already on the first day, we were able to admire impalas, elephants, and lions. The location of the lodge directly in the Great Kruger Park is simply phenomenal. In the evenings, we could hear the roar of the lions, and the soundscape was truly unique. The lodge itself was very clean and tastefully decorated. We particularly enjoyed the pool area, from which you have a direct view of the bush and can observe animals. This was a wonderful opportunity to experience nature and wildlife up close. Loek was an extremely friendly safari guide and had extensive knowledge. We also had the pleasure of booking the gin tasting, which we can definitely recommend. It was evident that Luug and Ilse were very committed to providing their guests with a pleasant stay. However, we would also like to honestly share our experience that we felt unable to express every wish, as we were afraid of asking for too much. In our opinion, the food was not always sufficient, and instead of a breakfast buffet, there was a pre-set breakfast menu. We would have liked to be treated more individually as guests and to have felt that our wishes were positively received. Nevertheless, we would like to emphasize that overall we were satisfied with our stay at Lengau Lodge and would gladly recommend it. The warmth and efforts of Loek and Ilse impressed us, and the location of the lodge in the Great Kruger Park is simply unbeatable. We are glad to have chosen this lodge. Thank you once again for your hospitality. Kind regards, Dimitri&Rabia
