    Honestly, everything was amazing. No negative points from us.

    We really liked, well, everything! Game drives were amazing, service was superb and you didn't have to worry about anything.

    Nothing.

    Beautiful grounds, attentive staff, delicious food and great safari rides. The game drivers are extremely knowledgeable, good fun, educational and passionate about what they do. They care for the animals but also want to give you the best experience possible. Lucky (our driver) was determined to ensure we had an amazing time. He is really funny, patient and loves the animals. Enoch (or Anok sorry I don't know to spell it) was also so pleasent and kind, he was a great tracker and spotter. Jo's hospitality along with the rest of the staff was second to none.

    It was an amazing experience so very little to improve.

    Overall an amazing experience. From the pickup at the airport to the game drives and conversations with other guests, it was top notch. The game drivers were wonderful and the staff excellent. One morning I had a solo game drive, as the other guests, had checked out the night before. Unforgettable!

    as a rare family friendly Lodge there could have been more child appropriate foods especially as the lodge knew there was a child staying but equally we understand the pleasure and culture of all guests sharing a meal together

    the staff were just incredible and so warm and welcoming. we felt like a part of the family. the game drives and our guides Lucky and Richard were amazing. no leopards sadly but they went out of their way to accommodate our 6 year old! seeing elephants whilst eating lunch was memorable! drinks and the shop were v reasonably priced too.

    Not much. Shower outside in wintet is not very comfortable, even under the sky with full of starts...

    Fantastic hospitality by every single one at the lodge. Very pleasant stay. Food is nice with presentation and how they set up the tables is fabulous. Two game drives are included and the driver and trucker was very enthusiastic to find animals to spend all the efforts.

    We absolutely loved everything. It has been the second time I have been there. Everyone makes you feel so welcome which makes it feel like a big family. We did not want to leave! The beds are super comfortable and the food is really good. Nothing fancy, but therefore amazing thanks to the chef! The game drives are also amazing, thank you Hamilton!

    Three perfect days with amazing game drives in the morning and afternoon. Lucky and Richard were a perfect team and brought us very close to all the animals, amazing experience! The lodge itself is beautiful, clean and very comfortable. The rooms are spacious, the outdoor showers very nice :). Nice and clean pool. The meals were excellent, including dinners under starry night skies with lions roaring in the background. Very friendly staff. Really recommend this place!

    The only thing I can think of that could be better was the shower heads could be replaced.

    Mohlabesti is a lovely welcoming place. At arrival you are pleasantly greeted by Nina with a cold drink, a tour and the daily schedule. The meals are spectacular, each served in a different location on the property. Elephants are frequently seen out front. On our last day there were giraffes out front as well. LOVE watching those elephants and giraffes. The game drives with Sam and Solomon were excellent, they are dedicated to their guest enjoying the experience.

    The outdoor shower took some getting used to..wasn’t the best when it wasn’t hot outside.

    Good location and friendly staff. Made to order breakfast was very good and the chef went out of her way to accommodate guests who had dietary needs like us (vegetarians). Safari rides were also great experience with a knowledgeable ranger and tracker.

    The Chalet next to ours was under construction so we had the construction workers noisily going about their business from early morning until the late afternoon. We could have been warned about this inconvenience

    The rooms were clean. Reception staff was friendly. The grounds on which the Chalets are built had impala grazing at night which was nice...
