Reviews of Mvuradona Safari Lodge

From the moment we arrived at the lodge, we were made to feel completely at home. The staff went above and beyond in every interaction – warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about making our stay memorable. Every smile felt sincere, every request was met with efficiency and grace, and their knowledge of the area truly enriched the experience. The facilities were immaculate and thoughtfully designed, blending luxury with the beauty of the surrounding landscape. Our room was spacious, beautifully decorated. The common areas were perfectly maintained and offered comfort without ever losing that authentic atmosphere. The game drives were expertly guided, with an incredible balance between adventure and safety, and each outing brought unforgettable wildlife encounters. Even between excursions, the lodge provided plenty of opportunities to relax and enjoy the surrounding areas. There was absolutely nothing to fault – every detail was spot on. This is a place that clearly takes pride in what it does, and it shows. We left with full hearts, wonderful memories, and a deep appreciation for the team that made it all possible.

Great location, clean and had everything we needed.

Nothing

The staff and owners of the lodge were all outstanding hosts who made us feel comfortable in every way. Melissa in administration was very efficient in answering all our questions and advice and booking our wonderful accommodation. Nothing was too much trouble for anyone at Mvuradona Lodge. We loved that the animals walked around the property at their leisure and that it was on the river where you could here the hippos grunting and see lions, giraffe and elephants along with many bird species across the river.

The staff and the luxury of our king room with all we needed.

Nice cozy clean room. Very delicious cuisine. Excellent service. Great safari guide. Really recommend that place.

Amazing place, lovely staff. Estelle and Melissa were super helpful throughout our stay so that we could make the most of our days in Kruger. The lodge was beautiful, seeing animals wandering around was such an incredible experience, would love to come back!

The welcoming on arrival. The reception lounge setting. Melissa was amazing and welcoming. The room was very comfortable. The staff was not overbearing and respected our space. The times they needed to interact with us, they were very friendly and prompt. The food was good. The idea of trying to gather all guests at night, by starting a campfire and placing chairs around the fire.

Not having a fridge in the room to keep water or other refreshments cool, to avoid having to walk all the way to the reception lounge at night. No two point power points at bedside for charging or at the desk, instead it was at a serving tray stand at toilet entrance, which in anyway was cluttered with emergency light, kettle, mugs, coffee, tees, etc, etc, barley enough space for the phone or appliance needing charging. Although food tasted very good and well presented, we felt that the food menu was very limited, especially the starters, which only had one option per evening. The chairs outside the room on entrance deck to the room, could be more comfortable for outdoor gazing and relaxation.

The fact that we didnt have to get into our own car for 3 days. Everything was available and we just chilled.

Very little.

The family running this place is really taking care of the finest details for your stay, Safira cooks perfectly and really makes your room the cosiest ever. I love to go there

The pool is heavy on chlorine but can you blame it? It goes sometimes +40C and you are surrounded by wildlife. The ho water was a bit short

menu was lose to what i eat. the room was exceptionally great. the aircon tops it all. the bath tub is what i have at home, home away from home

Food in the room and drinks. i understand the prevention of rodents in the room, it could be communicated differently. but stuff was not strict, and we knew that it's their law

The location of this lodge is very good, in the Marloth park with close proximity to Kruger park. Daily wildlife visitors at the lodge are guaranteed!

The room seems dated but the bed is very comfortable.

Mvuradona provided my wife and I with the most amazing experience!! The facilities were amazing. The staff and owners of the facility were very kind, helpful and professional!!! Wild animals pool side was incredible!! I would not hesitate to recommend Mvuradona to anybody!!

Everything was great

Location is a great access point to explore Kruger NP. The lodge is in Marloth park which means you can randomly encounter animals such as zebras and different antelopes at any time, especially during dinner and breakfast. It was absolutely a unique experience to admire animals passing by. The place is family-run and service provided was exceptional. From check in, to breakfast box to room service and delicious food by the chef, you will feel home away from home. If you can, book a safari with in-house safari guide, which was a plus of our stay. Heartfelt thanks to Estelle for looking after us so well! Totally recommended, would be back again and again!

Everything was just perfect

Fantastic accomodation and highly recommended. Quiet location overlooking the Crodille River with all sorts of exotic animals in the gardens. Good breakfast with various choices. Evening 3-sours set meny availble. Very nice full day safari in Kruger is arranged by the guesthouse.

I love how you prepared the breakfast.

Very welcoming, close to Crocodile Bridge gate, nice staff! The rooms were nice and there are lots of animals freely roaming around! It’s their house as well as a business (plus and minus for me).

They have one safari car I think, but couldn’t accommodate 5 of us, though there were only 7 people. We found another company so it worked out, but I’ve never been to a lodge that didn’t have a number of cars and take people out.

Nothing

The place doesn't use white towels..the food was horrible

BREAKFASTS WERE GREAT, ONLY MEALS WE HAD THERE

lIGHTING IN THE ROOMS, COULD NOT READ AT NIGHT WITHOUT A TORCH

Exceptional, friendly staff and owners who went out of their way to make our stay an incredible one. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was out of this world, and the effort made from feeding the local wildlife, walks down to the crocodile river and even a delightful breakfast pack for the park. We cannot wait to return for our next Kruger visit

Nothing, everything was exceptional

All staff and Hosts - Excellent, the Animals everywhere - awesome, the food, the 6 hour private game drive to and inside the Kruger national park, (elephants and lions so close to us practically inside the safari vehicle - (hahahaha) the 1 hour long quad bike ride - sooo much fun, Marloth park itself has so much to offer. The long walks in nature. This Safari lodge location is right next to the Crocodile river, with all the Kruger national park animals at your doorstep. From our luxury room we looked straight into the Kruger national park seeing and hearing the beautiful animals calls, and sounds Breakfast - dinner beautiful table settings with nature. i can go on and on. There are many more this lodge can book for a client, we had a short 5 night stay and they made is so enjoyable. Definitely value for money, location, good food, quality housing, attention to detail. Great staff and owners.

Nothing --, Our stay was to short will stay longer next time, we will definitely make this a yearly vacation spot.

We were very impressed on how helpful the staff were and accommodating. We enjoyed the room and the location of the lodge right on the river.

Breakfast was fantastic, and on the days we did game-driving, facility packed us full coolerbag to take along. Full-day game-drive highly recommended.

The personal attention to detail, the location, the owners connection with guests. Awsome setting. Great wi-fi in an area renown for poor signal.

Nothing to dislike, our stay was wonderful.
