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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ;)

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
