Our favourite place in the World!
We have just returned home from the most incredible family holiday at Monwana. This was our first Safari and I can’t believe how lucky we were to find this stunning lodge and meet the most fantastic team of people, who made us feel so welcome, relaxed and made sure we had the best experience we possibly could. We have two teenagers and stayed for 5 nights, the family suite with it’s own pool and vehicle for game drives was perfect, our room and the main lodge were beautiful, great architecture and interiors, attention to detail throughout is off the scale. Meals were served in different locations and the food exceeded our expectations, that paired with the great wine selection and suggestions by Sommelier July made each evening very special.
Thankyou to Evalyn and the chefs for noticing one of our likes and dislikes so early on during our stay and providing a different menu if needed for us.
As for the Game Drives, we had the wonderful duo - Colin and Bennie, not only do these two go out of there way to track the animals you’d love to see, teach you about everything from stars, footprints, trees, flowers, and dung, they make the best gin and tonics in the best setting as the sun goes down creating the most amazing sunset you will ever see. We had a great time on our game drives, following 3 new male lions, observing 4 lion cubs, seeing 5 different leopards, an abundance of rhinos ……the list goes on. We have never been so sad to leave a place before, it was a very special family experience and we will never forget what extraordinary place Monwana is.

Staff is so amazing always making sure you are having the best time and make sure you feel at home wonderful place and atmosphere! Food is amazing and you can enjoy the elephant at the water hole while enjoying your lunch. Always make sure you get the best view of all the animals and make sure you get to see the coolest sightings.

Monwana Lodge surpasses any private game lodge we have stayed at in all our years. Every detail is perfection from accommodation, service by fantastic staff and food to the amazing game drives with our very pleasant and knowledgeable guide and tracker ( Taya and Ismail). On arrival we were made to feel so special and the feeling never went away. July and Hudson are always on hand to pamper and we so enjoyed the handwashing ceremony after each drive - something different! We could have stayed forever and can’t wait to return there. Thank you Monwana for a very special memory.
