Mopane Bush Lodge

Mopane Bush Lodge was a wonderful place to stay. Very clean and kept immaculately. Plenty of room - one big living space and a large bathroom. Bed and pillows were very comfortable. Menus always have something tasty on them and the food is delicious. Michael took us on a very interesting bush walk after arrival so we could look at the "little" stuff and was very enjoyable. Estien was our guide on safaris and was very knowledgable and personable.

I would like to recommend this lodge to everyone. Friendly and helpful staff. Delicious food. Everything tidy. Relaxed and peaceful atmosphere.

Excellent accommodation, and friendly staff. Will definitely recommend if you are in that area. ....

Very nice rooms with comfy beds,tea and coffee provided,enjoyed sitting on our terrace overlooking the vast grounds.On arrival we had a water problem with it running brown and stuttering but Camilla soon arranged for maintenance and it was swiftly sorted. Good swimming pool overlooking a large watering hole that different species of animals kept us entertained especially the baboons playing and fighting.There is a lot of seating provided to enjoy the animal sightings but could do with more sunbeds around the pool there were only three. Food can be tasty but on some occasions we didn’t like the choices such as cold soup or carpaccio (raw meat) as a starter. Leaving the lodge to visit Mapungubwe park got monotonous after a few times because of all the pot holes making for a very slow journey.We didn’t see that many animals at this park but enjoyed other activities such as walking the Heritage Trail with two knowledgeable guides.Unfortunately after the walk we were not picked up for one and a half hours later until we managed to get reception to telephone the lodge to remind them.It is a long time to sit on a wall.There was a problem with an injured lion but at least a phone call to tell us would have been nice.We also enjoyed a bush walk with Michael ending up at a nice viewing place for sundowners.

Everything was perfect. One must keep in mind however that the activities are at an extra cost. You are stranded in the camp if your not willing to pay the extra cost.

We enjoyed staying g at Mopane Bush Lodge and also 1 night at Mapedu wilderness camp. Both were just great. Very friendly staff. The food excellent, the rooms clean and comfortable. We had a great plunge pool overlooking the bush. Nice and knowledgeable guide on the game drives and cheetah tracking. The cheetah tracking was absolutely amazing!
