Mjejane River Lodge

We had expected much more from this lodge. The location of the lodge is great, but the furnishings of the rooms and toilets/showers are a matter of taste. Non-functioning air conditioning at low temperatures, leaking drains in the bathroom, mold under the sink, and unrepaired faucets are a no-go! - The so-called lounge is in the drafty hallway area in front of the reception. There was no breakfast buffet. The à la carte meals were OK. The kitchen and the staff in the dining room were trying their best. The other staff at the lodge were nice and helpful. Luki was a great guide in the MjejaneGameReserve. There was no information material about the surrounding area. A two-day stay is enough. The lodge operators should take an example from the accommodations at the Mjejane BushCamp next door.

We had a four night stay here and our room looked over the river. We saw many animals from our balcony including monkeys, elephants, giraffes, hippos, warthogs etc The safaris were fantastic and not overcrowded with vehicles, the driver did her best to find animals for us and was very knowledgeable. The restaurant was ok mainly smorgasbord and the meals were average and the staff were nice.

From before we even got there Mjejane River Lodge was absolutely incredible. The attentiveness was incredible as they helped me plan a room surprise for my partners 30th birthday and pulled it off even better than I could’ve imagined. During our stay our game driver December was wonderful, funny and so knowledgable and all of the staff made us feel so welcome, I could not recommend this place more for a South African safari stay.
