Overall Ratings & Reviews Premier Resort Mpongo Private Game Reserve

What an amazing place, Mpongo Premier Game Reserve is the best. The Manager Pieter made sure that our stay is pleasant. From Reception the welcoming was excellent. Johannes the Ranger gave us tutorials about the Game Reserve thank you very much. The food was wonderful Breakfast was exquisite

This is our frequent hideaway spot to detach from the busy life of work and family. It's perfect. Food is great. It's a very peaceful place within a nature reserve.

I loved everything about our stay. Friendly staff😊 everything was amaxinh

Our stay was amazing, only if we were informed prior to our arrival how the reception of mobile network is...? We could've rather opted on the rooms that had available WiFi excess..! Other than that it was relaxing. Thanks.

beautiful place to stay. Was very Accommodating and comfortable however network is very poor there and the WiFi was down during our stay.

The MPongo Private Game Reserve was basically brand new when we stayed there (Jan'20). Very clean, if a bit corporate feel to it. Great big rooms and bathrooms with a view. Sadly no mosquito nets and plenty of mosquitoes. While service, rooms and food was all perfectly fine, it lacked some of the special touch of the other places we stayed at in SA.

The stay was a great one, but its just a few things that I feel can be fixed or adjusted for. 1. Comfort - A TV is a must, we can have guest fighting over one TV. 2. Condition - The road leading to riverside lodge is very bad.

Great stay. Awesome staff, excellent facilities

Amazing place to stay. Perfect place for a family

It's an amazing refreshing experience and the peace and quietness of the place tops it all. Definitely coming again and will recommend to my friends and colleagues.

The room and the environment was amazing. The only criticism I have is that they only offer buffet and you can not order off a normal menu. We went off the resort to obtain food at a near by restaurant for a reasonable price.

Easy to find as well signposted from main road. quick efficient check in and transfer from main lodge to satellite lodge about 2km in the park by the river where there was lots of tame wildlife- warthog, gazelle, hornbill - wandering around. Room was huge with four poster bed and bath tub in one corner with separate shower and toilet. large terrace with settee and untroubled by bugs, even at dusk. only drawback was need to drive back to main area for dinner which was a reasonably priced buffet overlooking the waterhole area which had lots of wildlife- peacocks, bunnies, gazelle, lions (thankfully caged), thoroughly recommended

Lack attention to detail. Cotaage had two baths and not one had a bath plug. Windowas was dirty and person on dutu during day at River cottage was not able to answer out questions refarding dinner arrangements. Lodge OK but can be so much better.

The staff is friendly and welcoming. Rooms are more than what you expect.. Their service is excellent. I'll definitely come back.

Good food andvLovely room. Sunken bathtub with garden view just lacks a TV in the room but have been told they will be installed shortly.

i had a great stay bHut would much prefer Riverside lodge next time am around.Huberta is not so pleasant

Luxurious room with private veranda to watch antelope, ostrich and monkeys wandering through grounds. Plentiful game in reserve. Note no TV, fridge or air con in room. Lunchtime food in main restaurant very disappointing but excellent entertainment from hippo pool. Great evening braai and set menu at separate lodge.

This place was amazing!! The food is delicious!!

We stayed in the lodge, which was several kilometres from reception, in the bush. Only one other couple were staying there. No security was provided for us overnight and we felt very unsafe and vulnerable. The swimming pool was dirty and full of particles and mould. Our bed stunk strongly of body odour and the smell was so bad that it kept us awake. We don't think the bedding was clean or fresh. The toilet smelled of stale urine. At breakfast and dinner the service was extremely slow between courses. The sausage served at breakfast was undercooked inside. We couldn't wait to leave.

I chose Mpongo for a break whilst driving south from Durban to Cape Town. An excellent choice for me - moreover because there were few other guests and I could please myself. Still seemed to be quite a lot of work going on around the cpmplex.
