Mangwa Valley Game Lodge  Verified Listing

We stayed at Mangwa Valley Game Lodge making use of a Daddysdeal voucher. At times one might believe if you make use of a voucher, costing less that you may not be treated as well as normal paying guests. The contrary is true. From our arrival we were treated like royalty. The staff is friendly, helpful and the chefs tops. The food was delicious and I must compliment the Chefs and waiters on their personal attention. The wine list extensive enough and well priced. The drinks too. We enjoyed it so much that we stayed an additional night. We thoroughly enjoyed seeing wildlife on quad bikes, which allows one to get up close and personal with nature. One gets to see so much more, feeling the wind in one's hair. Be sure to rub sunscreen, as the sun does get hot during the Summer month. We enjoyed the antelope visit in the mornings, whilst enjoying breakfast. Met the Owner's son and he was friendly and enlightened us to the history of Mangwa. There's a beautiful chapel on the grounds, which allows couple to get married there and on inquiry, we found out that they offer special packages for weddings, including accommodation for guests. We enjoyed the massages and the safari tent overlooking the waterhole made it extra special, as it was the first time I witnessed Kudus entering water, to their necks to eat water lilies. A very pleasant memory!

The basics done nicely. Cost effective and comfortable. The service by Andy at reception is great. The quad ride through the game reserve with Patrick is really good and he is very knowledgeable.

If there was one thing we noted, it was that small things have fallen by the way side, such as bottle caps lying around the lawns, broken edges on the pools, cracked tables and the pools were not clean.

Over all a nice family venue, which Patrick and Andy make special at a very reasonable rate.

Yooo! we had a wonderful stay, i'm recruiting my friends to come with them to Mangwa. It was really wonderful.
