The team offers a 24/7 hospitality. The day starts with a game drive with a very experienced guide. Besides his smooth driving he knows all hidden places of the big five in the area. We had seen the big five and their kidden as well as information about the bush. After lunch starts the afternoon noon game drive. Dinner take place in the spectacular boma. The food during the whole time was extraordinary. The staff is always available.

Fantastic trackers and guides that helped us find and photograph all of the Big 5 animals, including the elusive leopard and adorable views of baby lions! The staff was very knowledgeable, the food was fantastic, and the accommodations were lovely.

Had a wonderful time at Mohlabetsi. The staff was extremely pleasant, warm and helpful. The lodge was clean, spacious and the food was delicious. The guide and tracker did an excellent job in finding the animals and guide us along the way.

Our family (5 adults) had an AMAZING 3 days at Mohlabetsi Safari Lodge. The staff there was so friendly, helpful, and nice.. Nina and Marie ensured we had what we needed. They even had their chef make my daughter a cake for her birthday that we celebrated on our last full day there. Hamilton, and Solly, were incredible. They are so knowledgeable about the animals and Kruger. We saw 4/5 of the BIG 5. We even watched a pride of lions hunt a small elephant. Adrenaline was pumping for sure. They made sure we were able to see as many of the animals that were in the area. Named them all and told us interesting information about everything we saw. All 5 of us want to return someday in the future!

Excellent Safari guides (Lucky and Richard are a perfect team), had amazing animal experience. Perfect service at the lodge, beautiful rooms and lovely resort, delicious food and beautiful diners under starry night sky with lions roaring in the back. All in all, perfect!

Mohlabesti is a lovely welcoming place. At arrival you are pleasantly greeted by Nina with a cold drink, a tour and the daily schedule. The meals are spectacular, each served in a different location on the property. Elephants are frequently seen out front. On our last day there were giraffes out front as well. LOVE watching those elephants and giraffes. The game drives with Sam and Solomon were excellent, they are dedicated to their guest enjoying the experience.

We stayed in the Impala Lily Suite, an outstanding accommodation. The lodge staff were very friendly and attentive without being obtrusive. The food was excellent - judos to the chef on site. Nina and Jock were very welcoming hosts and ensured we had what we needed. Sam and Soli provided some great experiences on the game drives. Can't rate Mohlabetsi highly enough!

We have used this Lodge a consider amount of times and have no hesitation in going back. All the staff including the owner treat you as if you’re one of the family for the length of your stay. The chef prepared some excellent food while we were there and of a very good variation. Should you require a drink before dinner in the evenings there is a well-stocked bar. The Accommodation is clean and tidy and well prepared to include air-conditioning a separate WC and an alfresco shower. Game drives are fantastic if you’ve never been on a tracking game drive you need to go to Mohlabetsi to experience it
