    They made us pay everything immediately, we cannot charge the room to pay at the end of the stay. For example, we have to pay before habing the bicycle, directly after having dinner or breakfast...

    Wonderful and peaceful place. We are in the middle of a park, we went riding bicycle to watch the surroundings and the animals. We saw zebras, impalas. The place is really magical, like in a dream. Rooms are not recent but they are fine.

    The bathroom was a bit old. It was clean, and okay. But the wall in the shower might needs some rework for example. Thats all. Apart from that we loved it

    We loved the place, locatuon, scenery, local dance show, the animals who are just owning the place as much as the humans. Really great.

    The food was rather bad and expensive. They only serve buffet food.

    Amazing location inside the game reservation. A lot of animals are roaming around.

    When we arrived at the park we we’re so enthousiast about how beautiful the nature is. The stay really brought us back in traditional African atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and helped us with tips about the surroundings

    I didn't like that at the entrance, they made my friend who came to drop me and picked me paid the entrante fees. And i would recommand à forfait fée for those who stays, it seems strange to have to pay the entrance fée everyday.

    I like the confort, quietness, the trails, the people....and the animals.

    The restaurant/food offering was poor both in selection and value for money. There seemed to be an issue with staff and the atmosphere was slightly off. Not sure if there is an issue but have stay here before and the food was much better and more value for money

    Location is outstanding and the wildlife is amazing. As an introduction to this type of holiday you cant ask for a better start.

    The swimming pool is closed and so it will be for the next 2months, they told us, but in booking they still say there is a swimling pool. The buffet for dinner was overprized if you compare with other restaurants around.

    We loved staying in the beehive cottages, they are very comfortable and it is beautiful that they keep the know-how alive of how to make these cottages. The animals and the nature around are wonderful. Beautiful hiking trails and camp fire at night.

    Only buffet for dinner and breakfast. No à la carte when they have large groups. Relatively expensive for the quality offered.

    Bicycle ride was nice. Seeing the animals around the camp was great

    There were quite a few mosquitos in the apartment and even within the big mosquito net over the three beds. We tried to catch as many as possible but didn’t sleep perfectly well because of that. Maybe some windows with mosquito nets and mosquito nets at the doors would be great? We didn’t really enjoy the buffet in the restaurant, was too expensive for what you get, everybody seemed very stressed out and the meat was really not tasty.

    Our house had a fantastic over over the valley with a great terrace. The staff at Mlilwane was very welcoming and helpful. The whole camp has a lovely, village-like atmosphere with a large fire burning the entire night on the central fireplace. Our apartment was very clean, the kitchen was exceptionally well equipped and the terrace had nice lounge chairs. The start of different trails was nearby (we did the 6 km Hippo trail), and the facility also offered bike rentals at 155R/hour. We didn’t do any bike tour, but the first impression of the bikes and helmets was very good.

    The internal grounds could use some up keep but otherwise great value for money for the experience.

    The views and trails are awesome. The huts are a unique experience. They are not sound proof though so 🤫

    The toilet does not have a door, when it rains is annoying because the part where the bathroom is has a metal roof, there is no refrigerator although there is a lot of space, only one plug for electricity. Internet has to be paid separately, but it only works at the reception (400 m away), and ther very poorly....

    Authentic ambience, simple yet functional beehives, plenty of space. Animals roam freely around the camp, so it's a really nice atmosphere.
