We enjoyed our stay very much: from the lovely house with shower outside, the terrace and all details in our room to the central area with swimming pool and seating. The buffet and restaurant seating was very good and the service and friendliness of staff wonderful. The two game drives were highlights: our guide Grant was a great host!

We really liked our stay at the Mzabo Lodge. There are 2 game drives included in the price (one in the morning and one in the afternoon), which were just amazing. The food is excellent and the people are super friendly. Special shout-out to Sandile, Kabelo and Ruan for making our stay exceptional!

It was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed and more. Loved the walk in pantry with all the crockery and glassware and it was so nice to have enough of everything. Everything had been thought of. Also to have the splash pool with the waterhole just in front was incredible. Amazing 🤩

We were supposed to do a game drive at 16.30 but we were traveling from Pretoria and our ETA was too close to the drive time. We informed them about our ETA and they arranged to move our game drive to 17.00. All the staff were lovely and check-in was a breeze. The lodge sits on a fabulously lush property with a watering hole nearby for animal watching. Our room was very spacious and beautifully decorated, with 4(!!!) shower options AND a welcome gift basket filled with snacks, biltong, fruits and a bottle of award-winning wine. There was an endless stream of delicious food and snacks, and the chef personally greeted each table at dinner. And the highlight of our stay was the game drives with our fantastic ranger Clifford. We wish we had stayed longer and are looking forward to coming back in the future.

My friends came to visit from the UK and have never been to SA or on Safari. They were moved to tears by the lodge, the rooms, the people and the animals. Our ranger, Hannes, was a delight and we managed to see the big 5 a few times. Memorable

We had the executive suite and it was super luxurious and comfortable. Eddie took us out on great drives and organized a walking safari for us. Couldn’t have had a better time. Just make sure you know that the nearest shop is 40min away.

Pilansberg is a 3 hour from Johannesburg.

Pilansberg is a 3 hour from Johannesburg. It is easily accessible however the roads to the Pilansberg are not in great shape. It would be best to take a shuttle than to drive yourself. The park is fantastic with all the animals. We saw many lion, a leopard, many elephants, many rhino and lots more. I highly recommend.

Pilansberg Game reserve is falling apart, literally.

Pilansberg Game reserve is falling apart, literally. This will be our last trip and we have been going for 15+jears. The road to the reserve is horrific but worse is the roads in the reserve itself. The "tarred" sections or what's left of it is one pothole after another, not pleasant to drive at all, even at the 40km speed limit in the reserve. Hides are becoming dangerous, falling apart and the toilet facilities at these hides are TERRIBLE! It is sad to see the facilities in the reserve keep declining.

Pilanesberg has never let us down.

Pilanesberg has never let us down. Even in heavy rain there is always something if you look hard enough and seeing the park in all weathers and different seasons, with the mountains, green spaces, trees, and dams is such a treat. Love every visit! Fish Eagle lookout is spectacular and the salt lick by the visitor centre usually brings in some animals and/or birds toward the start and end of the day - plus the coffee is good.

The wildlife in the Pilanesberg is varied and every game drive we went on was well rewarded with good viewing on the plains. Black rhino reserve is quite different and probably better viewing in winter when less undergrowth.

I was here six years ago. There are much less animals. Looks like they removed hundreds animals to private game drives. It is not Pilinesberg that I saw six years ago. If you don’t want to be upset, choose Kruger.

like the meals they provided every day, and even the high tea before the afternoon safari full of joy the hotel had the best staff, who are full of energe. I would like to say thanks to Helen, she tried her best for us to find the wild animals during the trip. Although we have not collected the "big 5", it's due to the rainy day not her. the staff in the restaurant prepared the suprise for my partner's birthday which we really appreciated.

The rooms are well-appointed and come with all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay. The food is delicious and varied, and the staff are friendly and attentive. I highly recommend taking a game drive with the hotel's guide, who is knowledgeable, humorous, and goes above and beyond to ensure you see and get great photos of the animals. On our game drive, we were fortunate enough to spot 3 of the Big 5: lions, elephants, and rhinos.

Do not book with this host! The host is dishonest as the Hotel Timeshare had no record of our reservation. They just ghosted us and did not respond to any contact, whether through booking.com or via their mobile number provided . If you want to stay here, book directly with Legacy Hotels- Kwa Maritane. Amazing service received from them to assist with our scammed booking.

This is my second visit here in just under a year and I live in Australia so you know this place is very special. The accommodation is perfect, the staff are amazing and the food is divine. The game in the national park is incredible and the hotels highly experienced rangers help you really appreciate it.

Very friendly staff, very welcoming. The hotel is about 10 minutes away from the national park. We forgot our headphones in the room and were immediately informed by the staff, so we still had time to pick up our things before we left for our final journey home. thank you!
