Our safari there was unforgettable! Not only did we see an abundance of wild animals on the game drives, we could also watch animals from our private balcony and the pool and even got visited by an elephant wandering around the lodge. All staff was very welcoming and our guide Given was truly amazing. We did see the big 5 within just 5 game drives. Most of the animals were a whole lot closer than we ever hoped for. Given was very knowledgeable and did tell us so many interesting bits and pieces about wild life and life in South Africa. We enjoyed our time there so much that we even extended our stay by one more night. Definitely recommend!

We loved the large shared living space where we could spend time during the day together as a whole family, while the bedrooms were individually placed for some more privacy and quite for those afternoon naps. The viewing deck and waterhole was perfect with some game viewing action throughout the day. The house was very well equipped and we saw the big five during our stay. The place was even beter than the photos

Great staff, great food! Guides were very knowledgeable and went out of their way to make sure we saw as many animals as possible. James, the owner would join us for breakfast each morning and shared his knowledge about the area which we enjoyed. We stayed in a newly renovated room which was lovely.

Our stay at Muweti Bush Lodge was absolutely exceptional. The space was authentic, comfortable, and incredibly spacious, making it a perfect retreat. The food was amazing, exceeding all expectations. The daily game drives were a highlight of our trip—truly unforgettable. Neil and Hardus, our guides, were extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience possible. Communication with Mike was seamless, with all our questions answered promptly and thoroughly. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and highly recommend this incredible experience!

We were the only guests, and were given a free upgrade to the chalet with private pool. The host and gardener were also very kind and helpful. We greatly enjoyed spotting smaller wildlife from the hide out during the sunset and sunrise, and the peace and quiet of the stay. During the night we were visited by a honey badger twice that tried to get into the cupboards and fridge, some excitement for sure!

Amazing game drives given by Paul from Maninghi Lodge.

Amazing game drives given by Paul from Maninghi Lodge. He is the most knowledgable guide we have ever had. His passion and love for the bush is infectious! We thoroughly enjoyed our drives with him, and he was a large part of what made our stay so great!

The games were wonderful, a fantastic experience!

The games were wonderful, a fantastic experience! The guide and driver were super friendly and helpful. There was a break for a snack during the game. Since it gets cold in the morning, there were blankets and hot water bottles to keep us warm. It was incredible!!!
