Mangwa Valley Game Lodge & Spa

My stay was amazing. my highlight of my stay was the chef, Eric, Big ups to him and may God continue to bless him and may he continue making delicious food.

We enjoyed our stay at Mangwa. The dinner and breakfast buffet was great! Tasty food and excellent service. Had a nice early morning game drive (although the driver was late and only arrived after we phoned to find out if our game drive was still on). We stayed in a 6 sleeper chalet but there are only 4 bar stools at the kitchen counter, 1 x double couch and 2 x single couches in the lounge and 4 chairs on the patio, so didn't make sense for a 6 sleeper unit. Bathrooms are great sizes and so are the bedrooms. Minimalist kitchen with a small fridge/freezer and only a stove top and microwave. No closed storage space for your weekend groceries. We enjoyed our stay though. The staff were all very friendly.

From the rooms, to the service to the food...EVERYTHING was amazing! We had a conference at Mangwa, hosting our clients, and I could honestly not fault 1 thing. Our clients loved it and they made me look good :D I would love to go back with my family!

My family and I recently spent two nights at Mangwa Valley Game Lodge, and it was truly a delightful experience from start to finish. Traveling with our three-year-old, we found the lodge to be exceptionally accommodating and family-friendly. The culinary offerings were a highlight, with delicious buffet and bush braai dinners that catered to all tastes. Cooked Breakfast on the patio, overlooking the serene bush, was a perfect way to start each day. One of the standout features of our stay was the 90-minute full body massages, which were nothing short of exceptional. It was the perfect way to unwind and added a touch of luxury to our stay. We also thoroughly enjoyed the game drive, which offered exciting sightings and enjoyable sundowners and snacks. The staff at Mangwa Valley Game Lodge were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed and more. Their warm hospitality made us feel right at home. Additionally, the facilities were clean, inviting, and well-maintained, contributing to the overall pleasant ambiance of the lodge. We will definitely be back soon and recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway.

We sent my mom and her friends away on their 60th and they loved it . They have not stopped raving about the place .

We stayed in a self-catering chalet, though on the half board option. The chalet seemed adequate. But we had no hot water, it was reported twice but wasn't fixed. Which made the stay unpleasant. The patio door didn't have a key. The bathroom blinds are see-through so someone can see from the outside while you're using the bathroom. The lounge area had no curtain (seemed broken off and not replaced). Beds were uncomfortable. Pool close to the area is very small. Game drive doesn't include big 5. Food was good.

We had a beautiful stay at Mangwa Valley, the service from all the staff is excellent, we felt at home. The food was wonderful and chef was able to go an extra mile with requests.

The staff is very friendly, however place is terrible. The room was very dirty. The sheets were also dirty and were not changed even after we had complained. The cleaning staff told me that they don’t change the sheets every day and that is how the place is operating. The floor and walls were all dusty and had cobwebs. The bed had bugs and orange worms. When I complained about the state of the room, nothing was done. I would never return to this place and I don’t recommend it to anyone.

I would strongly recommend this place for a beautiful couple’s retreat and time with family, the game drive and quad bike experience is the best I’ve ever had and we will definitely be returning. The Saturday fire side experience is a heart warming and fun time you can spend with family and friends
