Muluwa Lodge

I recently travelled to Kruger & stayed at Mulawa Lodge with my cousin as part of a tour group. The lodge was fantastic & such a beautiful place to stay! Bush tent 10 was definitely the winner! The views were amazing & being amongst the Likweti Wildlife Reserve with the roaming Giraffes, Nyala, Zebra & many birds was a very memorable experience. The staff were wonderful & the food was delicious! Many options for Gluten Free people like me! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & were very sad to be leaving. 3 nights was not enough! I will definitely be back one day! Thank you to the team for an excellent trip!

We stayed in a ‘superior room’ which is an individual lodge. The lodge is set apart on its own so you have total privacy, it is big, lots of room, with a huge bed. Big shower and sink area, plus additional outside shower. Good storage for clothes. There is also a patio area. We had no complaints about the accommodation, it’s really good. Muluwa lodge itself, the landscape, the main building, everything is perfect. It’s so peaceful and beautiful, the atmosphere is great. The staff were all lovely. Impala roam freely and we sat watching them with a glass of wine, it felt like another world. They have a BBQ night on Wednesday and the food was phenomenal. There is a set menu for food each night, and the food was beautiful, a really high standard. It’s about 45 minutes from Kruger Park entrance, and also a reasonable distance for Panorama tour. We needed some laundry doing at short notice and they did this for a small fee, the clothes came back clean and in very quick time - excellent service. A tip for others, there isn’t a shop as such with bottles of water and snacks, so it’s worth bringing a few bits if you think you will get hungry when on tours. They do put two bottles of water in your room each day (which is great) but to stay hydrated it’s worth having extra as the safari are long days. They provide a breakfast bag for the days you leave very early for safari, and the bag was well equipped with lots of tasty bits. (Just be sure not to leave it in the vehicle when on safari at any point, as monkeys will take it!) For me, this can only be a five star review as we absolutely loved our stay here. It was the perfect place to experience rural South Africa and the perfect base for Kruger Park. I’d recommend it to everyone. Thank you Muluwa Lodge.
