(Please read to the end before considering booking and save yourself a bitter aftertaste) Let's start the review on a positive note; the traditional cabins are quite fun and comfortable. Although the appliances and bathrooms are functional, they are old and look used up (rusty sinks etc.) The "game sanctuary" itself is very basic, there are only antelopes and a few zebras and crocodiles but not at all in big numbers. Don't expect a park full of wildlife. Next to that, there is no real way to explore the full park without a 4x4 vehicle, forcing you to go on an overpriced "safari". When talking about price, please be aware that the park charges a premium for very mediocre breakfast, lunch and dinner. Especially a problem as you're not allowed to bring outside drinks to the park. Activities are also very overpriced. Lastly, but most importantly... The staff... I've never met such hostile staff in my life. Maybe it's the busses full of self-entitled tourists they're used to but hospitality is basically nonexistent. The staff is incredibly rude and treats you like just a bag full of cash, trying to get the most out of it with the least effort possible. We read this in other reviews and thought it must have been due to the people, but it definitely wasn't. The staff is just plain rude. We definitely recommend you save your money and go for something else. After staying here for 2 days it left us with a bitter aftertaste.

We booked a 2.5 hours long guided walking tour through the reserve. Our tour guide named Deli was very well-educated, showed us around and explained to us the history of the park, everything about the animals and the history of Eswatini. The Reserve is wonderful and Deli is kind and humorous and made the tour truly a remarkable experience.

It was fabulous to discover this game sanctuary on horseback, during our two hour guided tour by Madja/Maja. He was very happy and knowledgeable, learned us a lot about the environment and animals. It was an experience to never forget!

The most stunning place to have a picnic with family and friends in Eswatini while watching wild animals and cooling off in the swimming pool. Mliwane offers beautiful scenery and fun activities to enjoy your stay, such as horse riding, bike riding, game drive, etc. Note that alcohol beverages are not allowed at the picnic area. I will definitely visit again, loved it😍

One of the most amazing places I've been to in the world! A perfect balance of nature and comfort... We stayed at a house for 3 people, the beds were great and everything was spotless. Animals roam freely everywhere! The territory is huge with all sorts of trails... Fabulous! We explored it for hours. The restaurant offers a nice variety of healthy food. Thanks, everyone who made our stay unforgettable! ❤️
