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.

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.

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.
