    It is a pity that the place is fully self-chatering as some breakfast (or a nearby restaurant within the estate) would have been top-tier. The road there is also not great if using a small car - literally have to do 20 km/h on 15 km gravel to get there.

    The chalet was beautifully styled with top-notch touches. I particularly loved the view and having some wildlife at the doorstep. The bath rub was also glorious. Did not get to make use of the pool; although not too big, it looked crystal and inviting. Martha was of great help. This place would be ideal for group-outings. Buy lots of groceries, use big cars and spend some time in nature.

    The road at the back

    I enjoyed my stay even tho it was for one night , i was helped at the main gate of Mabalingwe Operations with a friendly lady Corne and she helped me to make the booking at the last minute. I enjoyed my view all the way to Kuwiza Lodge, the security of Mabalingwe also escorted me to the unit they were friendly and helped me not to get lost. I will come again with the whole family

    The road to get there. You definitely need a bigger car and unfortunately not every guest will have it. But the lodges around that area need to make a plan about the gravel road to accommodate all kinds of guests that they get.

    Everything was perfect, what you see is definitely what you get. The privacy is exceptional. A perfect stay away from the city.

    The roads inside the resort. The lodge must inform the guest to ensure that they come with 4x4 cars due to the road.

    Everything about the resort and the lodge was unique and very beautiful.

    Was a bit confusing to get into the correct room. However Desmond was very helpful on WhatsApp and assisted with all queries. With Loadshedding all the plugs don't work (only lights and one plug at the tv work, so the aircon doesn't work during loadshedding). However, we had a braai and relaxed in the nature so didn't bother too much.

    Beautiful location and room. Only saw some warthog, but sure more animals will come visit. Was very private and relaxing.

    The gravel road to the lodge was not good, they must do something about it for small cars.

    Everything in there was what i saw on booking.com. i liked everything, saw some animals, outdoor shower was amazing.

    We booked a game drive, requested to be picked up at the lodge at a cost obviously, but unfortunately they indicated they do not have enough game rangers on the day. We had to drive to Caravan Park, our car is low, sadly we got stuck by the big rock and our car couldn't move. Fortunately, there were two guys passing guy and I requested that they help us. They lift up the car and that's how we escaped. We went back to the lodge and forfeited our money. My advice to anyone who would like to visit the Mabalingwe Game Reserve, is to make sure the car is suitable for rocky place.

    We loved everything about Kuwisa Lodge, tranquility in that place is breathtaking. We were so relaxed and enjoyed every minute of our stay 😊❤️
