Reviews of Mkhaya Game Reserve

We visited the place on may 2024 during the winter, the place is very Romantic There is no electricity in the rooms which is part of the experience The concept and place is nice but didn't meet some of our expectations... Only 2 arrivals hours : 10:00 and 16:00 u will wait before and between those hours We were not told that u had to park at the "main house" and pack ur stuff before arriving at the lodges... The guide will press you to make ur small luggage, if u have one... The safaris were disappointing, we were told 3 safaris but in reality it is 2 trip from the main house to the lodges (+-45 min ride with no stops) and only on real safari in the early morning for 2 hours, the guide was still rushing and scared the animals and had not much information to say about them... The place is still romantic for one night but disappointing for safari, u have a beautiful and traditional dance at dinner

Amazing experience! The staff is extremely welcoming and friendly and the food is also very good! The stone huts are comfortable and cozy (be prepared because there is no electricity, although it adds to the experience). Our guide for the game drives was also very nice. He was very experienced and passionate. He also asked for our interests and anticipated nicely! Would recommend to stay at least a night here! Only small suggestion for improvement: the pickup point could be a bit better organized, and maybe it would be nice to have a shorter game drive at arrival (it was very hot and animals tend to hide) and then a longer one at sunset. But those are only details!

What a wonderful experience! All was perfect with our stay— the accommodations, the people and the wildlife. Mkhaya feels like a very special, family-run place. We loved our room, which was a stone hut with thatched roof. It was lovely, comfortable and partially open-air, which was a very nice way to take in the fresh air overnight. Our hosts were truly lovely. From the moment we arrived (greeted by smiles), to our incredibly knowledgeable guides, to the friendly attendants and cooks, the people were warm and welcoming. They were some of the nicest hosts we’ve ever met on our travels throughout Africa, Europe and the US. And finally, the wildlife… simply breath-taking! We had three amazing days of wildlife viewing and each moment was awesome. We left Mkhaya feeling deeply appreciative for our time there. Thank you!

The most beautiful experience we have had during our entire trip. It was way better than all the stays in the natio Al parcs in South-Africa. Sibusiso, our guide, was doing it so well. We had a rhino walking behind us. He did everything he could to show us the animals. We learned a lot. The accommodation is very typical without windows and doors, but everything is well organised to still give some comfort. The food was good and an entertainment was organised at the end. We highly recommend this stay!
