We spent wonderful 6 nights at Mohlabetsi - going against the recommended 2 nights here and 2 nights somewhere else philosophy. Family accommodation was ideal, with interconnecting rooms so that we and the children had our own space. The food was good and the children well catered for. The staff were attentive, helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble.... More

Our stay at Mohlabetsi was our first safari experience and we enjoyed every second of it! We were fortunate to be just one of two couples staying at the lodge and so we were treated very well by the staff although I'm sure they would offer the same service if there were more people staying. The food was delicious and... More

Let me begin with a warning: The Mohlabetsi Safari Lodge has evolved into my family's favourite resort for game viewing and being pampered. In the Greater Krugerpark area there are many private game reserves with their safari lodges. The tric is that the animals can freely roam in and out of the private reserves from or into the entire Kruger... More

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

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
