Fantastic!

Pros: Great hosts, make you feel like part of their family. Very knowledgeable. Excellent food, comfy facilities. Good guides in the bush, we saw many special animals. Overall a fantastic experience!

Cons: Shower water pressure was a very very minor improvement point, overall we loved the place!

Pros: Michael, Damian and the whole team were just incredible. From the moment we booked until the moment we needed to leave (due to the flooding of the area), they just gave their absolute best to show us this beautiful part of south africa. The game drives that we could do where amazing and you really felt the passion and love that these guys have for nature and especially for the animals. Can only recommend and hopefully be back soon 🫢🏼

Fantastic lodge and staff

Pros: The safari tent was well set up with a great bathroom. Lots of space including a deck that looks over a waterhole. Elephants often coming by.

Cons: I was the only one at the lodge surprisingly. Due to being on my own it would have been nice to have other safari goers there to have a chat with. I think it was quiet time when I went. Nothing the staff could do about that though obviously :) Would have also loved a spa close by to get a massage for between the game drives. Closest is 45 mins away and you need to book drivers well in advance.

Good for the soul

Pros: Unbelievable place, I loved it. Muweti is beautiful and well kept, but it also feels completely unpretentious. The location is so peaceful, and the staff are really friendly and genuinely care about their guests having a great stay. The fact it's a small lodge meant the service feels very personal - even though I travelled alone it was fun being in a group with the other guests and staff for the meals and safaris. Great communication as well before my stay to make sure dietary requirements etc were taken into account. Special thanks to Damian, your game drives - and ability to spot all kinds of creatures, even in the dark -are amazing!

Cons: Nothing - I had a fantastic time and didn't want to leave!

Pros: We loved the intimity of that bush lodge which allowed to be close to the owners who answered all our questions about flora & fauna as well as the country itself and many other interesting issues.

Every aspect exceeded our expectations.

Pros: Mike and Laura were wonderful hosts and welcomed us like good friends . The game drive tour leaders, Hardup and Morven were amazing . Incredible knowledge of the animals, birds and topography of the park. We stayed four nights and saw everything we wanted to see and more . Thank you

Amazing stay in the bush.

Pros: An amazing stay in the bush. Our tent was very comfortable and cozy, as was the bed and we had a great shower. The entire property is spotlessly clean. All you need is provided, and more. The crew and owners are amazing! Such friendly and knowledgeable people. The food was excellent. We loved the game drives, the relaxing at the pool watching the elephants drinking from the waterholes, and the birds, squirrels and bushbok in the yard. In the night we heard and saw hyenas at our waterhole from the tent. We were very sad to leave, and are looking forward to going back in the future.

Cons: That we had to leave.

Brilliant location, layout and facilities

Pros: Excellent camp layout with a great view of the Bush. The permanent Tented accommodation is classic glamping with a large space and even a bathtub with a bush view. The tents are quite private and located to maximize the in the Bush feel. Very well designed with a great combination of being safe to move around at night but not feeling fenced in. Great pool and deck area. Very good meals and lots of interaction with the guides. We will be back.

Beautiful lodge, super nice and knowledgeable staff and

Pros: Beautiful location in the middle of nature. The tents are very comfortable, the food is super delicious, de evening braai is an extraordinary experience. It was great to sit around the fire in the evening and chat with the other guests. A tip: if you're there in winter, be sure to bring warm clothes!

Scenic stay, amazing gamedrives and super tasty food

Pros: Location in the greater Kruger is super for game drives, which are twice a day. We saw elephants, lions, giraffes and a leopard in front of the accommodation. The food was fresh and super tasty. Great atmosphere in general. The games drives are twice a day and the guides do everything to spot the animals. The accommodation is small and therefore much social interaction with other guests and the guides.

Cons: Keep in mind that it could get cold during the winter time, eventhough the staff does everything to make your stay comfortable with extra blankets and hot water bottles, we underestimated the temperature.
