This is right in the middle of the Kruger National Park. This is one experience I shall cherish for the rest of my life. You get a feeling of being surrounded by wildlife. The huts which are actually equipped with all the modern amenities are outstanding. Once you are inside, you get a feel of being in any other hotel... More

We enjoyed Mohlabetsi very much as my husband and I stayed there last year. The game drives were tremendous and Solie our guide did a wonderful job. We spotted all of the Big Five as well as numerous other animals and plants. The trackers are so enthusiastic; you can tell they have such a great passion for their job, and... More

My wife and I loved the place, the food the guides, the room etc. Neat having an outside shower. Very comfortable bed. Very good food. Excellent friendly informative guides. Well worth visting. This place is a fabulous place if you dont have an inclination for a long game drive. We saw 4 of the big 5 in 4 drives. More

Everything here was perfect from the friendly arrival, the good food, the fact we saw the Big 5 over two days courtesy of some fabulous tracking. A wonderful experience! More

My husband (Ray) and I spent 3 nights at Mohlabetsi and we loved every moment of it. Tony picked us up from the small airport in Hoedspruit and drove us to the lodge. We loved the accommodations and the fact that ther was only 10 of those individual lodges making it a very cozy and intimate place to stay. The... More

My husband and I spent 3 days in Mohlabetsi and loved it. We arrived at the hotel a little after 4 hours after the safari tour has left. Even so, they kept a car waiting for us so we could go to the safari in that afternoon. Our guide "Solie" was excellent and at that first day, we saw elephants,... More

My family and I stayed at Mohlabetsi from the 11th to the 13th of August. On arrival at the lodge we were greeted with a warm welcome by the staff. We were offered refreshing welcome drinks which was thoughtful after a long drive from Johannesburg. The staff took our luggage to our room and parked the car for us. We... More

This lodge was a highlight of our game viewing trip to S. Africa. The accomodations, food and service are excellent; and the game drives are outstanding. This delux private reserve offers much better game viewing than in Kruger. More

We stayed at Mohlabetsi for three nights at the end of August 2011. It was a wonderful experience. Great staff and very informed rangers and trackers. A special thanks to Lucky. We would highly recommend the lodge and the drives. Great value for money and a laid back ambience. More

We just returned, and we're still talking about our stay here. Then people were all friendly, the facilities were just beautiful and well maintained. Our meals were delicious, the beds comfortable and their attention to details were excellent. Dinner in the "boma" was fun, and the food delicious. We were lucky enough to see "the big five" our first evening... More
