Absolutely incredible place to stay. The staff were very helpful and the facilities were fantastic. Nature freely walked around the hotel with zebras sometimes being just outside our door. Will definitely recommend this place to a friend.

We went there for the final lunch of your long weekend away in Dinokeng and the kingfisher restaurant is an excellent place to finish a great trip with an great dinning experience. Staff is very accommodating for families with small kids and the lodge area is a nice place to see interesting birds and see zebras close up. Every time we go there reminds me why friends of min picked it as their wedding venue.

Wer afrikanisches Safariambiente sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Die Menschen sind herzlich, die frei auf der Anlage herumlaufenden Tiere friedlich. Die Pirschfahrten stets erfolgreich und dank toller Guides, wie zB Roné, sehr lehrreich und lustig! In der Lodge ist für alles gesorgt, wer hier mehr Luxus sucht, hat bisher nur den Prinz aus Zamunda gesehen... Absolute Empfehlung!!

So so disappointed. Having booked the River Cruise months ago for a special pre-wedding celebration, it was unfortunately cancelled due to the rain. This is of course understandable but I was super disappointed that Mary (to whom I spoke) could not suggest any alternative activities and made no effort help whatsoever. When, eventually, I suggested that we use the funds already paid at the restaurant, Mongena agreed but wanted to charge an additional R1000 transfer to collect from a neighbouring lodge. When cancelling an activity like this due to the weather, the Mongena team should have done everything possible to accommodate our group some other way, knowing that it was for a special event. Instead, Mary was rude and unsympathetic to what had happened. I'm gutted about by how poorly this was handled.

Wonderful bush experience and so close to JHB. Our conference was a resounding success and stay so enjoyable. The main resort facilities are wonderful and staff are all friendly and go out of their way to assist. All the catering throughout the conference was of the highest standard, and every venue/restaurant within the Game lodge offers a unique experience and spectacular views. For large groups, the Eco Challenge is highly recommended and so such fun – game rangers take you into the bush and do activities with the participants – everyone had a super time.

All the catering for our conference was of the highest stand. The variousvenues within Mogena, whether for a meal or sight seeing are all very special and offer unique experiences. We will definitely be back!!

I can’t say enough about our time at Mongena. From the minute we arrived and our original room had a leak and we were given a better room. The game drives were excellent with our game range Macs, who was very dedicated to making sure we saw everything we could and went out of his way to explain how the birds reacted to how the game behaved. His knowledge for someone so young was remarkable and we loved his enthusiasm. The staff at the lodge always very polite, the food very good, chalets perfect and having zebras, nyalas and springboks roaming the grounds so cool. I live in the USA so this was perfect for me and why I love Africa having grown up in Zimbabwe. I would highly recommend Mongena for its proximity to Pretoria (48 minutes from my sister’s house), reasonable cost and the peaceful a**osphere, well-run facility and the fact that we saw four out of the big five. That was a bonus for me!! Thank you Macs and everyone else at Mongena.

This was our first visit to South Africa and the Bush. Our close friends have stayed here previously and had nothing but good words to say. Upon arrival, we were met by a very polite receptionist and had a lovely meal in the Kingfisher Restaurant. At around 2pm, we met our Ranger Andrew who took us down to the Barn House and helped us unload. We went out on a game drive that evening and it was truly a once in a lifetime experience from start to finish. Andrew was kind, knowledgable, made us laugh and could not have done more to make the experience any more perfect. We saw many animals, and learned about a whistling flower too. Andrew made us feel safe and welcome and I can’t thank him enough. The Barn House was amazing with a huge view of the reserve and we watched the lightening over the horizon both evenings. Thank you to all at the Reserve for making our visit so magical and I wouldn’t hesitate in coming back as soon as I am able! Thank you Mongena and thank you Andrew, you are a credit to the Reserve and the kindness and respect you showed both to the wildlife and the Reserve shone through.

Bad for a single tourist. Good for the owner's wallet. Large groups dominate the a**osphere. No holiday a**osphere and the a**osphere of a team building outing for staff from Johannesburg prevails. Rooms small, dark and very dated. The Safaris are very simple in this young wilderness where nature is not managed. The ordinary people who work there try very hard, are friendly and helpful. It is the policy that ensures that we do not give 5 but only 2 stars. 1 star for the regular staff and 1 star for the Kingfishers restaurant.
