8 of us stayed in 4 rondavels for 5 nights in July. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome. All of the staff were very friendly and attentive. The rondavels were very comfy (great bed) and spacious. The food was sensational. We had a boma each night which was fantastic and enhanced our "Safari" experience. Weather during the day was perfect at that time of year. 5 consecutive days of low to mid 20s with cloudless skies. Probably a bit cool for the pool but lovely lying on the banana lounges looking out to a watering hole. All of the game drives with Hamilton and Enoch were amazing. We actually saw the Big 5 during one afternoon drive!! We also did a walking safari guided by Janco and Chade. This gave a different perspective and was really interesting and gave us some badly needed exercise. I cannot fault any element of our stay at Mohlabetsi. It was a charming lodge set amongst beautiful gardens and trees and lots of birdlife. Thank you to everyone!!

I stayed two nights at the lodge as a solo traveler. It is beautiful and intimate. The guide Hamilton and tracker Enoch were outstanding. The staff are very gracious and rooms beautifully decorated. The food was scrumptious and plentiful. I highly recommend this lodge. As a solo traveler I felt safe and very comfortable there and got so close to all of the big five!

Een luxe lodge gelegen in het Balue Game Reserve. Personeel is erg vriendelijk en vragen bij iedere terugkomst hoe de safari’s zijn geweest. Het eten wat wordt gereserveerd heeft iedere dag uitstekend gesmaakt. De safari’s zijn erg leuk en met Richard en Sam heb je echt twee kenners die je echt het gevoel geven dat ze op zoek zijn naar de dieren. De kamers zijn verder netjes en totaal niet gehorig waardoor je niet teveel van buiten hoort in de nacht. Verder zijn alle ramen voorzien van horren wat ideaal is om de insecten buiten te houden!

We spent our first South African game reserve and lodge stay in Mohlabetsi. Set within Balule reserve, the lodge has a scenic view opening up to the forest. The staff ( Jo, Henritte and others) were courteous and helped us to settle in. The Rooms were comfortable and the food was good and customized to our palate. Lucky was our ranger/tracker all through our stay and through his efforts we were able to spot the big 5. Hats off to his perseverance and focus to showcase the animals in their natural habitat. We also sighted elephants and giraffe near the lodge as they came in to drink water. ( Lodge is protected through a wired fencing) We enjoyed the company of other guests during the drives, breakfast and lunch. Saw several birds during the noon. Dinner was organized in Boma and it was a special event. We also witnessed the staff putting out a great song and dance sequence and inviting us to join them as well. All in all a comfortable stay, food and game viewing experience.

Everybody was very friendly and welcoming. We could relax very well here. It was my husband´s birthday there and they surprisingly sang and danced at breakfast. It was breathtaking. At every game drive Tour with Lucky we saw new animals. We would definitely recommend Mohlabetsi to others. The lodges are very lovingly furnished. The dinner at the fireplace was a highlight everytime.

Awesome experience at Milima. From all aspects they were top notch. Food, housing, transportation and Safari. Our driver was great....a former tracker who was able to read the animal tracks and know which direction they had gone. He was very knowledgeable about every aspect of the game reserve.
