Monate Game Lodge

Wonderful views of the wildlife

Pros: We attended a wedding and had a fabulous weekend. The staff were great, the game drive was a really nice addition. Rooms were clean and had everything we needed incl a hairdryer. The highlight were the animals on the property.

Excellent

Pros: I enjoyed the stay, game drive was excellent and breakfast was delicious. Rooms are very clean

Overall, a great stay. Rooms could be cleaner though.

Pros: Beautiful property , really good food and friendly staff.

8/10.. Will definitely be going back and good value for money

Pros: Very spacious and tranquil.. beautiful chalets and the dood was really good too

Cons: The location here got us lost, ask the Lodge to send you live location on whatsapp.. theres also about 15km of gravel so small cars arent recommended

Pros: Their breakfast fast was great, the game drive was awesome, the staff was super friendly, the rooms are super comfortable, everything about our stay was great.

Cons: The gravel leading to the logde is terrible

The stay was exceptional

Pros: The staff is friendly and very helpful, I felt at home as a solo traveler . Rooms are absolutely beautiful and the air-cons in the rooms are lifesavers , antelopes visit the lodge as the sun sets…. Absolutely beautiful. Game drive was amazing Brian outdid himself…. Got a glimpse of Mufasa and the girls. Had a bush picnic. The drinks and food are very affordable and value for money. They go all out for breakfast I loved that. The braai menu on New Year’s Eve was delicious! A def must visit… what a gem!

Cons: Very long drive on the gravel with my small car. Leaving the property was a bit challenging because it rained the previous night, got stuck close to the main road coz of water and couldn’t call for help because the area has no signal. Fortunately people who were staying at the lodge found me there when they were leaving as well.

A place where you can relax and unwind

Pros: The jacuzzi, the view from the cave, the breakfast, the tranquility and attention from reception

Cons: The room floors were not spot clean. Also there were wasps on the thatched roof of chalets 4,5 and 6 in the veranda. This posed a serious threat. I alerted the cleaning lady on Christmas day who promised that it was being attended to, but nothing happened. However, I cannot fault the lodge as I did not bring this to the attention of the reception

Pros: The warm jacuzzi’s, the top notch breakfast, friendly staff and the game drive

Exceptional Stay

Pros: The lodge is beautiful and tranquil, it’s newly renovated so filled with great amenities. The food and service was exceptional. A special shout out to Lesley, who made our stay super comfortable!

Cons: The dirt road heading to the lodge isn’t great, but the wild animal sightings along the road made up for it.

Monate was an experience. Quiet and peaceful and a safe location

Pros: Very safe and the food was great. Lovely staff. Great accommodation. Lovely bar.
