Mohlabetsi continues to offer great value for money with friendly, welcoming staff!. This is an unpretentious, moderately-priced lodge, with traditional rondavel-style rooms. We had good game viewing right off the bat! We were spoiled with large herds of buffalo and the largest pride of lions I’ve certainly ever seen (approx. 18). We had seen all of the Big Five by the next morning’s game drive, with great leopard sightings.

However what they have now done is bring the rooms into the 21st century in terms of comfort and amenities. The rooms are still colonial in style. But the bathrooms are rather funky with an interesting baroque-meets-New -York-loft style.
