"the quiet and beautiful atmosphere"

10 October 2018

"The food, accommodation and animals practically a foot away from you. The giraffe came so close to us and around the rooms. You could take long walks and enjoy a drink by the river. Such a nice weekend break. The staff were amazing and the food superb. Clean rooms and a wonderful way to celebrate our wedding anniversary."

"We thoroughly enjoyed our one night stay at Mogalakwena River Lodge and were only sorry that we had not planned for a longer stay! Anna and her side-kick Linah, did their utmost to make us comfortable and welcome! The accommodation was outstanding and the facilities on the banks of the river were well thought out and beautifully decorated... We can highly recommend a stay in this unpretentious lodge."

"Unfortunately, our long awaited stay at Mogalakwena was interrupted by my father falling off his motorcycle and breaking his leg just 5 km from the lodge on our first day. The hospitality and selfishless attitude of the staff was fantastic. They arranged for all our luggage, personal belongs and two motorcycles to be stored on the premises, whilst a staff member (Jandre) drove us the 200 kms to Polokwane for further medical assistance. We were met by Anna, the manger of the lodge, where she helped get my father booked and attended to. I would like to thank Anna, Jandre, Chris and Will for being the most amazing and humble people I have ever met, you guys helped without question and without thought. It made the situation so much easier. Thank you guys, and thank you for allowing us to move our accommodation dates, so we can actually enjoy your awesome lodge in the near future."

"Not good"

"No information pack or hairdryer in room. Shared geyser with room next door, therefore no hot water!"
"Two nights at Mogalakwena"

"The place is tranquil and gives an experience of bush life. It is the best place for a retreat from the bustle and hustle of busy city life. However one who goes there should be prepared to keep company with mosquitoes. The temperatures are quite high. It would help if mosquito repellents were also available and fans in all the rooms at Artist retreat."
"A wonderful escape"

"We had an excellent visit to Mogalakwena River Lodge. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. The accommodation was lovely and very comfortable. The Lodge itself is in a beautiful, serene setting. It was magic to be able to sip drinks while watching the sun set and the animals coming down to the river to drink. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a quiet, restful time away."
