Reviews
Very peaceful and would recommend anybody to go.
Mangwa is absolutely amazing with great close up game viewing, amazing staff and gormet food - one will have to go a long way to equal it. And on top of everything its only a 90 minute drive from Jhb. A very special mention regarding Kenith and Benjamin - the absolute best.
The staff and the food are great, the rest of the place needs some improvement.
Staff very friendly, making the overall experience memorable.
The service at the restaurant was outstanding, and they went out of their way to accommodate the children. The game drive was wonderful with a very knowledgeable game ranger and the snacks provided delicious. Overall a great stay.
Excellent stay, the hospitality was perfect, spa treatment great and the food was amazing!!
The booking experience handled by Aletta Hugo was superb.
On our arrival at Mangwa (3.30pm), the chalet was not ready to move into. Mangwa itself is a superb facility with really good staff, particularly Proxy and Thomas. Unfortunately our chalet was next to a party of some 12/15 younger guests who partied into the early hours with loud music and even louder behavior. Proxy asked the party to move to the last of the tree chalets they had booked as they wished to continue their reveling as they had done the previous night, even though in Mangwa's information file it says and loud music or unwanted behavior will not be tolerated, and should it persist the clients will be asked to leave Mangwa immediately. A 'bush' experience is about experiencing nature in a 'bush' setting and enjoying the animals (of which Mangwa has many) in a quiet environment.The game drive with Thomas was excellent and the service on the pool deck was also excellent.We will definitely return but rather go for a chalet or tents by the Dam. Dinokeng is a fabulous game park.
It was a truly enjoyable stay. The best part about Mangwa Valley Lodge is their staff.....nothing was ever too much for them and they made always sure we as their guests were happy. It's a beautiful and serene place, one can truly relax and reload one's soul in the bush! Will definitely be back.
Absolutely amazing. Everything was perfect. The service was brilliant, all the staff were friendly and helpful. Benjamin is a rare find. What a wonderful person. An asset to the lodge. Room was so beautiful. Perfect weekend to relax and reconnect
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!

Dinokeng Game Reserve Reviews
Hiking.
Love the location as it helps one to easily getaway from the buzz of the city without the long drives. Seeing animals and the picnic spots thay have. Secure fencing arond the lodges and animals roaming around the lodge. We need to see the Elephants, Lions, leopard. The landmark to crimson and the google map was accurate. A day visit to the reserve and the Restaurants.
Hiking.
Game drive, the stay at the lodge and the Mystic Monkeys and Feathers Zoo.
The range of animals and the map that was available.
Game Drives and self-drive routes were really cool. We enjoyed it and did not find it as bad as the previous reviews said.
The animals were a little scarce after the many rains, but we saw 9 Jackal in 2 days which is not something that happens often.
We will definitely be back.
The self drive - especially the 4x4 route.
I enjoyed it most because it was a quick break and not too far from JHB to travel and it does have the big 5.
The Nyani Lodge natural relaxation situation and Mongena Game Lodge the nature itself of animals. Location and directions were convenient and easy to get.
The game viewing on the Mongena game drive was superb!
