Being in the Welgevonden Game Reserve, this is a nice property in a non malarial area. We had a great welcome at the Main Gate, our ranger Sylvester was waiting for us with snacks and cold drinks before driving us to the lodge. Mhondoro was refurbished last 2011, which means excellent common areas as well as new modern rooms, without... More

After 5 days horse riding at the amazing Horizon Horseback in Vaalwater, we spent 3 days at the Mhondoro. Sylvester was a real genius to find the big 5 (we only missed the Leo ...). Food was amazing and the team war first class. Spot and the lodge were 5stars places. Only potential development could have been the massage. We'll... More

I came here with my family and some friends. The main management were not here at this time, and we were greeted by Sylvester and his fabulous team. He was absolutely amazing, so caring and dealt with any small issues we had. The trip were outstanding and he spotted even the tiniest sights. John and Dominique returned on our last... More

My friend and I were desperately looking for a last minute safari experience near Johannesburg for bank holiday weekend. After deciding the Kruger was too far for only two nights, our agent found us this absolute gem on the Thursday morning, leaving Friday. We were due to be collected from the main gate at between 1 - 1.30pm, however ran... More

This is the second time we stayed here. There has been a change of management but it was as super as the first time. The trackers are really good, we saw the big five in 4 days. Service was great.

Mhondoro is a fabulous lodge in Welgevonden reserve. The roadworks on the way there were a bit unpleasant, but when they are finished, this lodge will fly. Amazing staff and beautiful accommodations. I will definitely be back.

I had a great couple of days at the lodge. i was on my own and John and Dominique (the mangers) could not have been more gracious and welcoming--i felt at home immediately. the lodge was recently rennovated and is lovely--very stylish design but still incredibly warm and comfortable. And the food and wine couldn't be beat. I've been on... More

This was our first visit to Welgevonden. As others have mentioned the scenery is amazing, much more varied than the lowveld reserves. The feeling of the reserve is also more intimate with less of a commercial feel about it. Although there are fewer animals than some of the larger reserves, there still are more than enough animals to see, especially... More

Welgevonden is obviously a very well managed and maintained reserve & it shows in the condition of the reserve lands and animals within. Mhondoro lodge within Welgevonden was the perfect weekend getaway. A small lodge that only takes 10 guests at a time, under 3 hours drive from JHB, small compliment of friendly staff, super food and very knowledgeable ranger... More
