Mbizi Bush Lodge

Pros: Location is excellent, the veranda by the pool area/lounge/dining room looks out onto a water hole that was visited by elephants, lions, antelope, etc. For this reason you are not allowed to walk to and from your room in the dark. Food is great with an authentic Asian taste. The lodge owner drives the game drives himself and really knows the area, the animals and the local community.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Bjorn & Divia are wonderful hosts. We truly disconnected while staying at their lodge. The food is very eclectic and tasty and we had plenty of animals visit the property during our stay

Cons: The facilities could use some maintenance

Thoroughly recommended. Good food. Good location. Great place to relax.

Pros: Food exceptional. Elephants walking through camp and drinking from pool amazing. Walking safari good.

Cons: A number of minor issues. Safe not working. Tea in room not replenished. No drinks in minibar except water. Very noisy fridge in dining area. Had to pay a ZAR200 gate fee which we were not expecting.

Pros: Beautiful Lodge, amazing food, super friendly and caring staff, cool game drives organized by the owners! Definitely would recommend and come back!

Thanks a million Bjorn for your time, sharing your knowledge with us & providing such beautiful environment for memo

Pros: Calm place within bushes with total nature connection, kind personal, charming infrastructure, unique games, stunning food.

Pros: Elephants would come drink at the pool, we saw a multiple different wildlife from just sitting near the pool including a leopard ! Three course meals for dinner and staff were incredibly friendly. Host was amazing, very insightful, and gave us plenty of recommendations for our future travels. Would recommend to anyone that is breathing. Life changing.

Cons: Air con broke on the first night, but host promptly moved us to a different room for the next night and had the air con unit fixed that same day.

Cosy bush lodge in Greater Kruger

Pros: Mbizi lodge is a nice lodge in Grietjie Reserve. The lodges are nice, they have only 4 lodges on the property. They are a short walk from the main area. Good facilities in the room, a little fridge and coffee and tea facilities. In the main area is the dining room and the swimming pool. You can take drinks from the honesty bar. Breakfast and dinner are included in the price. Breakfast is served in two courses (yoghurt and fruits, egss and toast). Dinner is a three course dinner, which was very good. Gamedrives are not included in the price, you can choose to attend them in the morning and afternoon, it costs ZAR 400 pp per gamedrive. The gamedrives were nice, but the driver needs to stay on the road, so they can't go to animals if they are further from the road. In other reserves we experienced this differently.

Cons: Please note that check-in at the gate of Grietjie is not earlier than 13h00. They will not let you through the gate if you arrive before 13h00.

Lovely and welcoming 2 day stay.

Pros: Location was great for access to Kruger Park. Host were very kind with excellent service. Food was all freshly prepared, including catering well for Gluten Free dietary requirements.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Our stay at Mbizi was the absolute highlight of our trip to South Africa. The only mistake was staying for only two nights. Thank you for the great experience!

Cons: /

Magical

Pros: Beautiful surroundings, lovely comfy bed, clean accommodation, warm friendly staff, amazing delicious food and of course the amount of elephants we saw at the property was incredible.

Cons: There was nothing we didn’t like about this property.
