What our Guests say

Amazing Getaway!
I’ve been bringing groups of friends from Australia here for the last 5 years and I have never been disappointed!
The family run lodge makes sure you are looked after from arrival to departure - It’s the attention to ensuring you are enjoying your time that sets Mangwa apart from anywhere else.
Personally, I highly recommend the tents to watch the game around the dam, opposite, in the morning... Then a massage at the spa... Followed by fabulous gin cocktails while relaxing and reading a book by the pool at the main lodge.
I’ve always brought weary, jet lagged travellers from Australia here as a first stop and introduction to South Africa. Everyone arrives as travellers, leave as friends. I highly recommend Mangwa to anyone wanting some relaxing time away from life!
PS: I can’t even begin to mention the amazing wildlife!

Dear Mangwa Valley Staff

We just want to really, truly thank you for an amazing experience! Everything from the arrangements and admin, greetings, the game drives, all the food, the accommodation, entertainment and overall look, feel and atmosphere was incredible. But what topped it all off, was the very friendly, extremely efficient staff! Not once were they not in reach if we needed to know something. They assisted everywhere possible, and also took own initiative with certain things, which was great. They added so much to the overall experience.

It was such a treat for us to just arrive and know that we are so well taken care off! Thank you for going the extra mile and providing us with an experience beyond our expectation. We noticed every little detail and all the trouble that went into our staff getaway.

May Mangwa Valley be blessed in abundance!

Thank you so much!

Our stay was AMAZING!

Until we see you again, we wish you all the best! 🍻

Wowness......what a place to be, amazing! The staff very friendly especial Elizabeth from reception, Lucy and Rachel from Zuri SPA, and Benjamin from the restaurant. Tasty food at very reasonable price . Refreshing environment far away from the busy city life ....

We went to Mangwa for their quad biking experience. We were the only two people that had booked for the time so we enjoyed a very personal experience with our guide and had more than enough time to stop and take photos.

Nothing is more exciting than a little trip to Mangwa Valley Lodge. Be it a day trip, or a game drive with friends and drinks by their pool. The staff are amazingly helpful and they always go the extra mile. I can't wait for my next stay!
