    It was just as advertised and described. If you are looking for a self catered place it fits the bill. It would also be great for friends to book together as a group.

    The very luxurious problem :D but if you’re a sleeper who needs a dark room be aware that the amazing big windows are not fully covered so you get sun coming in early hours

    We could not ask for a better start to our North West debut trip. Incredible lodge, very well equipped, with a cute swimming pool. Staff was incredible - special shout out to Jeandre, who went out of his way during game drives to ensure we see as many animals as we can - and we did! Highly recommend this place- experience was wonderful.

    The lodge itself is absolutely beautiful. The kitchen and living area is huge and you have everything that you need for self-catering. The rooms and en-suites are also very spacious, comfortable and lovely decor. The children and adults all loved the swimming pool and sun loungers. Jacqui and Riaan were brilliant hosts and we loved our game drives and time in the bush. We can highly recommend this lodge.

    We stayed at the spacious and luxury Lodge 1 which offers a big fireplace and lots of privacy. The game drives were amazing and the staff super helpful. You can park your car under a roof and we were able to buy liquor at the reception as we forgot on our way. Otherwise you need to bring your own food. Wonderful place, we will be back.

    Nothing. Morokolo is perfect.

    This place is heaven. The accommodation is superb with everything you need for a self catering stay. The bush drives were amazing with Ranger Riaan being just so knowledgeable, helpful and friendly that we booked extra drives. The children loved being outside and chatting with the staff there who are very helpful and friendly. Braai area, fire pit and outside seating was excellent that we were eating outside under the stars listening to the animals. Just a magical experience

    No restaurant on site and the R560 parking and conservancy fee came as a surprise on departure. Maybe to include it in the rate in the future.

    The location was excellent, very close to Sun City. Unfortunately there isn't a restaurant on site. It would've have been nice to allow guest an option to dine. Riaan is an excellent Guide and very well informed about the bush, he was an absolute pleasure.

    One room was unable to access the external shower as the outside door was stuck as a result of a slight structural issue. On the whole though the property is well maintained and clean.

    The location and the facilities for a larger group. it was nice to have ample accommodation for separate family groups. it was peaceful and the surrounding nature. We felt that we were alone and no sense of being crowded with many other tourists. Friendly competent staff.

    We were there for a special occasion and feel that they could have done something, gone a bit further to offer something complimentary. An extra game drive (especially considering there was nothing of note to see on our early morning drive) or a bottle of champagne or something to mark the occasion. We opted out of housekeeping, so their staff didn't even have to pick up after us. I feel that with the price we paid for 4 people, they could do better to mark a special occasion without asking for more money. Additional game drives come in at a hefty R500 per person.

    The lodge is incredible and we were well looked after. The main lodge is well equipped so our stay was very comfortable and there wasn't anything we needed that was not provided. Suites were clean and spacious. The game drives were good but sadly we were not lucky enough to find the big 5 on our 2 trips but were fortunate to see what we did see. Riaan and Jacqui were friendly and welcoming.
