What a magical place! Sadly we encountered a years rain in 2 months whilst we stayed here but that didn’t put anything past the fact that we were treated like royalty and our stay was amazing, all the staff were so welcoming friendly and helpful, the surroundings and the facilities were out of this world, and our guides they were the stars of the show, to start with Christian was amazing and so knowledgeable and then we had zaan (our kids favourite) she made the stay for them and was so informative and friendly and really did add an extra dimension to our stay, can’t wait to plan our next stay!

We had a wonderful time at the lodge: our guide (Chad) was so enthusiastic and knowledgable and we saw a lot of animals. In addition to that the food was amazing and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful! The suites were also very nice, maybe a little brush-up is recommendable as they are not brand new anymore.

We’ve just got home from the most amazing stay at Mhondoro! The lodge was absolutely beautiful, full of 5 star luxuries like our own private pool, gym, sauna and spa with amazing treatments. The room was beautiful with an amazing big bed and turndown every evening. They’ve even got to the effort to build a luxury farm at the reserve gates where you stop for lunch before driving to the lodge about an hour away - this in itself was like a 5 star hotel with showers, sofas etc and must be a godsend for those arriving straight off long haul flights. The food was incredible and you’re never left hungry, the chef and his team were also incredibly accommodating with my dietary requirements too. The staff absolutely made the stay, everyone was so friendly and warm they felt like friends by the end of the trip. Our guide Chad was absolutely incredible, his knowledge of the area and patterns of the animals was unrivalled and we were first to sightings nearly every single time. Welgevonden is a great reserve, we had some amazing sightings and ticked off the big 5 in the first couple of days. The rhino population is huge, so we had some amazing sightings everyday of white rhinos (frequently at the lodge itself) we also saw a black rhino and leopards multiple times! The effort the park puts into conservation is amazing and is great going somewhere knowing that the welfare and protection of the animals is paramount. We’d love to return one day in the near future!

We booked a family suite at Mhondoro for 2020, but Covid messed that up so we booked it again for the X-mas period 2024. Our expectations were definitely met - surpassed even. The service, the view, the luxury, the food, the wine... awesome!!! What a team. But it already started with an warm and excellent welcome in the Villa by René, where we got a great lunch and the chance to take a shower to recover from the travel. Basically our Mhondoro experience started right there! Froim the Villa we were driven to the lodge, where we were welcomed by the entire team with a, african song & dance. From there on it was all paradise. The drives with Tish were adventurous, insightful and exciting. She made worth the daily rise and shine at 5 am ;) We're definitely going back!!!

We had such a wonderful experience at Mhondoro. Room and lodge are 5 star, luxurious, pristine. Food was exceptional - I was actually surprised how good it was since the lodge is so remote. The best part of this experience though was the twice daily game drives in Welgevonden getting to see so many beautiful animals - our guide Chad was amazing; incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, and really put in extra effort to get us viewings, and the scenery was incredible. The staff in general were so lovely - David, Isaac, Renee who welcomed us, Hein another guide we met, and Chef Simon stick out in my mind but honestly everyone was extremely friendly and easy to chat with. Overall incredible experience getting to see and learn about amazing wildlife for four days!!! Cant wait to return some day. Rina and Talor

Perfect. Cannot describe more accurately. Wonderful experience. Everything was arranged very well and the staff was very friendly. Food was very good, and bi-daily safaris amazing. We spent every day circa 7-8 hours in safari car, first starting around 6 am.

We had the most amazing few days at Mhondoro, staying in the luxury pool suite for 4 nights. Rene gave us the warmest of welcomes on our arrival and the most heartfelt farewell when the time came to check out. Isaac, Jacob, and Sam were fantastic on the service team, always providing welcome towels on arrival back to the lodge and making sure we had everything we could possibly need to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The food was nothing short of incredible with fresh menus every day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, all expertly made with local produce. Hien was our guide and provided amazing knowledge paired with mad driving skills. He answered every question we had on the drives and is clearly extremely passionate about what he does. Thanks to him, we managed to see 4 out of the 5 Big 5 and almost every other animal in the park. The couple that were on the drives with us had stayed at Mhondoro three times previously, which says so much for the quality of the service provided, and like them, we will most definitely be back! We would absolutely recommend choosing Mhondoro for your safari stay, and we can't wait for our next visit.
