Little Mongena Tented Camp

The Cheatah family at play!

Pros: Christopher and Portia (and ALL the staff we encountered really) were VERY approachable and friendly and, as you would expect knowledgeable. The attention to detail was applaudable - Chris was particularly adept at sensing the situations that we found ourselves in on Game Drives and responded with aplomb! ALL the food was great (the portions were certainly generous!) and the selection of beverages was great too - the Old Brown Sherry on our return from Game Drives was a welcome touch!

Cons: The tents, although air-conditioned, were VERY hot and only cooled (a little!) when ALL doors/flaps were as COMPLETELY (zipped and velcroed) closed as possible (which was not achievable due to the zips being worn and in poor condition) and the aircon was on \

Pros: Great experience. Close to nature. Very immersive while 100% comfortable

Our tented camp experience was first class and the sightings on our drives were breathtaking.

Pros: Breakfast was delicious with a choice of continental or a cooked option. Plenty of choice across the board. A lovely light lunch was also served every day. Dinner was delicious, but one night we felt rather cold eating outside. The lighting was limited with only lamps, but this did add to the atmosphere. The game drives were wonderful with Chris. He was a knowledgeable safari ranger who used his tracking skills to ensure we got the best out of every drive into the bush. Wonderful.

Cons: Perhaps a choice of eating dinner indoors rather than the expectation that it would be served outside.

Great setting , good food and spectacular wildlife sightings.

Pros: Setting is beautiful. Sightings are great and food was exceptional.

Cons: They didn’t include the conservation fee in their fees , so we were requested to pay separate fees upon leaving the reserve … it would be a lot better to have this included in the price and the camp pay for the conservation fees for the guests. It is inconvenient to have to be asked to pay twice for self drive fees when leaving the reserve when we stayed at a camp/lodge. No self drive happened.

Amazing environment

Pros: Little Mongena is an amazing scenic get away. The staff are amazing and the food superb, I however did not see much management engagement to see if the guests are alright. For the morning game drives the kitchen staff are not available if urgent food is required because of health reasons. The game rangers are truly caring, knowledge sharing and absolutely helpful. A great place to visit.so much to see and experience.

Fantastic!!!!

Pros: Declan was the most amazing host. His knowledge was extensive and his enthusiasm was contagious, he was definitely the star of the show. The food was excellent and varied and it was so nice not to have to eat the usual game meat that is dished up at these places. Altogether a memorable weekend, Thankyou.

Pros: It is very quiet and remote. Lots of animals to see.

You will see us again and agaiain and again

Pros: Everything at Little Mongena is to like People, environment, personal touch, friendlyness of personel, food and so you can go on

Cons: None can be done better

Little Mongena, big adventures

Pros: The gamedrives were on time and very well maintained with frequent stops with sharing information. The Bush drink experience was als wonderful..snacks and always variety offered before hand. At the camp the food was really the best.. menu was extensive..catering for all tastes and many options all equally tasty and delicious to choose from. They included my friends also in the dinner and checked if I was in agreement. Everyone and everything went smoothly and we were so happy with our stay and experience.

Cons: Actually nothing comes to mind.. we were very comfortable all through. The only thing is our shower in tent 6 was not draining well..the water was not a constant temperature but that expected from gas. My mom is 84 and it could be a bit tricky to navigate over the tent side at night for bathroom trips. Other that that, we did not have any negative feedback to share.

Perfect

Pros: Food was magnificent, pool and views great. Game ranger and staff were super in all aspects.

Cons: Nothing.
