We had the opportunity to take a 3 night stay at Monwana Lodge and loved every aspect of our stay. We were given the Honeymoon suite which was spacious and fabulous. It has a deck which gives a view of the dry river bed and the waterhole which gets quite busy at times! However, the emphasis must go to the... More

We stayed at Monwana at the end of May 2013. We've visited several safari accommodations in South Africa and Monwana is up there with the best. Mich and Charel looked after us superbly; food was excellent, plentiful and homely, especially in view of the location, which is deep into the veld. Accommodation offered top home comforts (including air con, mosquito... More

As a Canadian, everything initially seemed foreign yet exceeded our expectations! The staff were fantastic and the food was delicious. Each game drive provided numerous sightings of all big 5 animals and lots of interesting information provided by a VERY knowledgable Guide and Tracker. It is encouraging to see how committed the Thornybush reserve is to conservation of the animals... More

The food is very good and the location of... More

I would highly recommend staying at thsi lodge if one visits Thornybush. The rooms are spacious and the service is absolutely amazing. The hostess Emma went out of her way to make our stay memorable. Our room like many others overlooked a water hole where we could sit back and relax while watching game such as Buffalo, Zebra, Impala, Kudu,... More

Monwana Game Lodge was perfect! That is the only word to describe the entire experience! We saw the BIG 5...all in one day!

The food, do not even get me started on... More

On a recent stay at Monwana Lodge in the Thonybush Reserve near Kruger Park, South Africa, I was absolutely thrilled with the ambiance and hospitality of this little lodge. The hospitality of Emma and Jan was exceptional. The meals were top of the range which says a lot for the chef's ability at this intimate lodge. I have stayed at... More
