Home away from home, Gem in the making

What an amazing place, Mpongo Premier Game Reserve is the best. The Manager Pieter made sure that our stay is pleasant. From Reception the welcoming was excellent. Johannes the Ranger gave us tutorials about the Game Reserve thank you very much. The food was wonderful Breakfast was exquisite

A Hide Out Break-Away

Our stay was amazing, only if we were informed prior to our arrival how the reception of mobile network is...? We could've rather opted on the rooms that had available WiFi excess..! Other than that it was relaxing. Thanks.

Perfect Tranquility

This is our frequent hideaway spot to detach from the busy life of work and family. It's perfect. Food is great. It's a very peaceful place within a nature reserve.

Brand new, without much character

The MPongo Private Game Reserve was basically brand new when we stayed there (Jan'20). Very clean, if a bit corporate feel to it. Great big rooms and bathrooms with a view. Sadly no mosquito nets and plenty of mosquitoes. While service, rooms and food was all perfectly fine, it lacked some of the special touch of the other places we stayed at in SA.

8/10 Very good

The stay was a great one, but its just a few things that I feel can be fixed or adjusted for. 1. Comfort - A TV is a must, we can have guest fighting over one TV. 2. Condition - The road leading to riverside lodge is very bad.

Best getaway ever💃💃

It's an amazing refreshing experience and the peace and quietness of the place tops it all. Definitely coming again and will recommend to my friends and colleagues.

8/10 Very good

Tolle Lage sehr ruhig. Keine Klima.

Direkt in einem Wildreservat mit vielen Tieren. Wenn man von unten zum Hotel Fährt ist die Straße der Horror. Den Weg zur Riverlodge darf man auch nur mit dem Auto fahren wegen der Tiere und man sollte besser nüchtern sein ;)
Katrin, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room and the environment was amazing. The only criticism I have is that they only offer buffet and you can not order off a normal menu. We went off the resort to obtain food at a near by restaurant for a reasonable price.

Interesting & different place to stay, recommende

Easy to find as well signposted from main road. quick efficient check in and transfer from main lodge to satellite lodge about 2km in the park by the river where there was lots of tame wildlife- warthog, gazelle, hornbill - wandering around. Room was huge with four poster bed and bath tub in one corner with separate shower and toilet. large terrace with settee and untroubled by bugs, even at dusk. only drawback was need to drive back to main area for dinner which was a reasonably priced buffet overlooking the waterhole area which had lots of wildlife- peacocks, bunnies, gazelle, lions (thankfully caged), thoroughly recommended

Room fot improvement

Lack attention to detail. Cotaage had two baths and not one had a bath plug. Windowas was dirty and person on dutu during day at River cottage was not able to answer out questions refarding dinner arrangements. Lodge OK but can be so much better.

Good value

Luxurious room with private veranda to watch antelope, ostrich and monkeys wandering through grounds. Plentiful game in reserve. Note no TV, fridge or air con in room. Lunchtime food in main restaurant very disappointing but excellent entertainment from hippo pool. Great evening braai and set menu at separate lodge.

Must stay

This place was amazing!! The food is delicious!!

2/10 Poor

Smelly bedding with very slow service at meals

We stayed in the lodge, which was several kilometres from reception, in the bush. Only one other couple were staying there. No security was provided for us overnight and we felt very unsafe and vulnerable. The swimming pool was dirty and full of particles and mould. Our bed stunk strongly of body odour and the smell was so bad that it kept us awake. We don't think the bedding was clean or fresh. The toilet smelled of stale urine. At breakfast and dinner the service was extremely slow between courses. The sausage served at breakfast was undercooked inside. We couldn't wait to leave.

8/10 Very good

A pleasant 2 days break on a long drive

I chose Mpongo for a break whilst driving south from Durban to Cape Town. An excellent choice for me - moreover because there were few other guests and I could please myself. Still seemed to be quite a lot of work going on around the cpmplex.

8/10 Very good

Great getaway for the family.

Arrived and at checkin I didn't quite like the room they had prepared for us at and the Huberta Lodge. After a lengthy discussion with management we finally reached an agreement, I paid a little extra and was upgraded to the nicer River Lodge. Room Tip: River Lodge is the one you see in most of the picture gallery and was worth the extra charge. Thomas our fantastic host and guide drove us to our new rooms were Portia settled us in and made us feel at home. Our new room was what I had initially expected, it had plenty of room and was very comfortable. We had a little tour of River Lodge which sits in a valley with luscious surroundings and wildlife. We had some Nyala grazing outside by our patio. The swimming pool did need some attention it took two days for them to get it into a condition that we could swim. All in all we had a memorable great stay. The highlight was dinning at the waterhole, the food was always delicious thanks to our chef Aubrey. Will certainly pay another visit.

10/10 Exceptional

animals outside your window

Our stay was only one night but was still fantastic. On Arrival we arrived at our room to find hippos outside the living room window as well as a few other animals throughout the day. As we were in the house we were picked up and driven down to the lodge for our evening meal. We would highly recommend the early morning bush walk the guides were fantastic and very knowledgeable we were even able to get quite close to a family of giraffes. This is definitely somewhere we would recommend.
