Monwana

From the moment you arrive till you leave you treated above 5 Star level. The attention to detail in the rooms, living area and game drives are beyond special. The Chef made exceptional dishes and the wine complimented to perfection. The Game Ranger and Trackers knowledge was overwhelming and they went out if there way for us to experience the wildlife in full. The Spa was like a healing experience; best I have ever had!

We had the most wonderful days in Monwana.The beautiful surroundings and lodges, the nicest staff, the splendid food, the perfect facilities, the best ranger and tracker, who managed to find all the animals (great and small) on our bucketlist, the fancy shop and last but not least the grazing inyala's on our doorstep made us feel more than welcome. THANK YOU for making our stay at Monwana unforgettable!!

We were privileged to spend 4 days at Monwana Game Reserve. My family are all city slickers. I wanted to do something different this time give them a different experience and show them that they can have both luxury and tranquillity. Monwana did not disappoint, it exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, the whole staff was waiting to welcome and greet us. The service and attention to detail were next level, we were made to feel as if we were the only ones in there. The game drives where we were able to see all the big 5 during our stay, the food and drinks were top quality and the attention to detail of the service was next level. Everything was geared towards making you feel nothing else in the world mattered and to truly live in those magical moments.

It certainly was not our first visit to Monwana but the lodge that more recently has been created and completed by the Monwana team is unique in any respect! You immediately feel at home in the Monwana family, surrounded by excellent service and continued care. Smiling all day for both the team and its guets is no miracle because the Reserve offers more wildlife than you can comprehend, the lodging is unique in respect of food, drinks, sleeping and supports the general feeling of coming home being far away for home! Having returned to the Netherlands yesterday, the only way to make up for the feeling of loss is to book a new stay.

It is outstanding! Thanks to al the people we really made memories with our family. Everything is perfect. We really recommend this place! The lodge is beautiful, the games or perfect. The rangers en trackers really understand the animals!

Our favourite place in the World! We have just returned home from the most incredible family holiday at Monwana. This was our first Safari and I can’t believe how lucky we were to find this stunning lodge and meet the most fantastic team of people, who made us feel so welcome, relaxed and made sure we had the best experience we possibly could. We have two teenagers and stayed for 5 nights, the family suite with it’s own pool and vehicle for game drives was perfect, our room and the main lodge were beautiful, great architecture and interiors, attention to detail throughout is off the scale. Meals were served in different locations and the food exceeded our expectations, that paired with the great wine selection and suggestions by Sommelier July made each evening very special. Thankyou to Evalyn and the chefs for noticing one of our likes and dislikes so early on during our stay and providing a different menu if needed for us. As for the Game Drives, we had the wonderful duo - Colin and Bennie, not only do these two go out of there way to track the animals you’d love to see, teach you about everything from stars, footprints, trees, flowers, and dung, they make the best gin and tonics in the best setting as the sun goes down creating the most amazing sunset you will ever see. We had a great time on our game drives, following 3 new male lions, observing 4 lion cubs, seeing 5 different leopards, an abundance of rhinos ……the list goes on. We have never been so sad to leave a place before, it was a very special family experience and we will never forget what extraordinary place Monwana is.
