A little piece of heaven!

Since the moment you step in the reception you are greeted by a friendly staff. Not to mention all the animals roaming around. We were greeted by Zebras and Kudu among others. We did a tour with Rihann, he was very knowledgeable in tracking the animals. Family own atmosphere, that takes you in. The food was delicious!! For sure we will be back.

Would definitely recommend!

We stayed 4 nights to celebrate our 30th Wedding Anniversary. The Honeymoon Suite was just lovely. We were treated with the upmost care and consideration with delicious breakfasts, top quality dinners and excellent safari experiences. We would definitely recommend the all day and sunset game drives. The lodge was very easy to find and beautifully situated very close to Crocodile River. The number and variety of animals freely walking around the grounds was stunning. We were greeted by a herd of zebra as soon as we had parked the car and Kudu, Impala and Gnu were seen on a regular basis. The walk from the lodge along the river was stunning and we saw a family of elephants a pair of hippo and numerous Impala all around.

Mvuradona Lodge and their staff of truly WONDERFUL!! They deserve 10 stars or more!!! Mvuradona will forever have a special place in my heart! The staff went above and beyond for us, everyone is SO friendly, and I cannot thank them enough for the kindness and love they showered my mom. We are humble people, yet they cared for my mom and I as though we were true VIP. They were all attentive, helpful, welcoming, warmhearted, considerate, compassionate and loving. My mom was beaming our entire stay. And this was by far the best place we have ever stayed and the best holiday we ever had. Mvuradona Safari Lodge, by far exceeded our expectations!!! I just feel terrible that it has taken me this long to write a review. But sadly after our AMAZING stay, I lost my mom tragically a few months later. So it has been difficult to sit down and write this review. BUT DO NOT HESITATE, MVURADONA IS THE PLACE YOU WILL LOVE STAYING AT TO!!!

Unser Aufenthalt war einfach wunderbar! Die Lage mitten in der Natur ist traumhaft – wir hatten regelmäßig Besuch von Antilopen, Gnus und Warzenschweinen direkt vor der Terrasse der Unterkunft. Das Team war unglaublich herzlich und hat uns sogar ein veganes Frühstück und Abendessen zubereitet – einfach großartig! Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder.
