To visit Morukuru's Farmhouse is to experience quintessential decadence and luxury. The incredibly warm and friendly staff made it very clear from the moment our family arrived that nothing was too much trouble. They were unobtrusively ubiquitous and seemed able to predict our every need, often even before we knew them ourselves! The house itself is beautifully and lavishly decorated,... More

We went to Morukuru Farm House Lodge to celebrate my mother's 60th birthday and we had an awesome time! All the staff went out of their way to make our stay as special as possible, we were waited on hand and foot. Amy worked tirelessly to make sure that all our needs and wants were seen to and nothing was... More

Morukuru is fantastic! Our family of twelve stayed there in the Farmhouse for four nights, with five days of nonstop adventure. The entire staff is wonderful! Markus, our host, was so warm and accommodating. Nothing we asked for was a problem or inconvenience. He is a true delight! Anthony, our ranger, was the best. From the cheerful 5:30AM "knock on...

We went to Morukuru Family for the third time since the founding. The first time to the owners house, last 2 returns to the Farmhouse. This time with a large group of friends. Again it was overwhelming. Fantastic to actually complete the big five to see, including the leopard within a very short time. The host, the chef, the butler... More

It was our first time in South-Africa and the Morukuru Family made it an unforgetable time. The rooms were wonderful, the staff was super helpful and the game drives were amazing. We are still missing the hospitality that we felt there, everybody was so kind and wanted us to have the perfect holiday. We came in with a smile on... More

This was our 3rd visit and we still marvelled at the beauty of the bush and were just as excited to see the animals up close. There are 3 lodges of different sizes, furnished to a very high standard, (mattresses, bedlinen and towels are top quality). The outdoor space is also very well thought out providing areas to relax as... More

Travelled as a group of two families of 4, staying in the FarmHouse. Our friends were visiting for the third time, and raved about Morukuru, so our expectations were high. But these expectations were beaten by a big margin. Landed at the little Madikwe airstrip in the Bush, with great excitement. A lovely welcome from our Ranger, Calvin, and on... More

My second stay was even more spectacular than the first. The home, the service, the experience are exceptional. I will be back. We saw the big five in under 2 hours. Our hosts tended to our every need and the food was great.
