O Lodge fica dentro de uma reserva e todo dia tem dois Game Drive, uma de manhã e outro no final da tarde! As refeições são incluídas e bem gostosas! O diferencial é tomar o café da manhã com os animais. Num dia tivemos a Cia das Zebras e no outro da Girafa. O atendimento é excelente! Recomendo!

During my stay at Mbizi Bush Lodge, I was genuinely impressed by the exceptional quality of service and the overall experience. From the moment I arrived, it was clear that this was no ordinary lodge; it felt like a home away from home, where the staff welcomed me as if I were a part of their family. The service at Mbizi Bush Lodge was truly five stars. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of my stay was perfect. Whether it was the warm smiles that greeted me each morning or the personalized touches that made my room feel so inviting, the team at Mbizi excelled in creating a comfortable and friendly atmosphere. They were attentive without being intrusive, always ready to assist with any request or provide recommendations for making the most out of my stay. This level of care made a significant difference, elevating the entire experience to something extraordinary. The culinary offerings at Mbizi Bush Lodge were nothing short of spectacular. Each meal was a delightful journey through flavors, crafted with care and expertise. The chefs clearly have a passion for what they do, as every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with fresh, vibrant tastes. From hearty breakfasts to elegant dinners, the food was consistently of the highest quality. It wasn’t just about eating; it was about savoring every bite in the serene, natural surroundings. Dining at Mbizi was an experience in itself, one that I looked forward to every day. One of the most remarkabl

The time we were able to spend in Mbizi Lodge was just insane. Bjorn and Divya are such great people and excellent hosts. The morning and evening drives with Bjorn are unforgettable moments. We learned so much about the animals and about South Africa. The food was the best we had at our whole South Africa trip. An absolute recommendation!

Es war sehr schön. Kaum waren wir angekommen, kamen auch schon Elefanten um aus dem Pool zu trinken. Es war ein sehr beeindruckendes Erlebnis. Das Bungalow war sehr schön eingerichtet und di Inhaber standen stets mit Rat und Tat zur Seite. Ich würde jederzeit wieder die Mbizi Lodge buchen.

This is a small lodge with only 4 huts, so it's a wonderful experience if you want to escape the Kruger crowds. Accommodations are comfortable and well maintained. Food is amazing; home cooked with a fantastic attention to detail. Owners are friendly and engaging. Highly recommend taking the optional game drive with the owner; you won't regret it. Overall a great value for the money!

The Mbizi lodge is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been so far! The hosts and all the employees are very heartily all the time. The breakfast and the dinner were every day a highlight. (Delicious and varied) A game drive with bjoern is a must do to !! You can do it in the morning or in the late evening.. You will see lions elephants giraffes and lot more Animals! Bjoern is a trained ranger and knows everything about the animals and the nature. It was a great experience and we will definitely do this again! Thanks bjoern and his beautiful wife for this unbelievable adventure! Cheers Domi and Dennis

A remarkable find very close to the Kruger National Park, run by a lovely Danish couple with tremendous attention to detail. Everything was immaculate. Excellent service. Just an amazing experience. Cross animals (water buck, impala, lots of birds) just on my 3km drive in to find the lodge which is situated on a private game reserve (Grietjie). This operates as a collective of 100 members who undertake serious efforts for conservation, while providing a livelihood for the community.

The owners really put in the extra effort to make your stay at Mbizi a special experience. The breakfast and dinner everyday is such an enjoyment, especially after a spending a day at Kruger. Michael provides you all necessary information you need to know about the surrounding areas. The guest house is in a private game reserve and is not fenced. Michael will escort you between your private hut and the main lodge. To get there from the main road you do need to drive on a dirt road for about 15 mins -- the google map navigation is also not very accurate. Remember to take the Grietjie Gate entrance.

Man wohnt direkt zwischen den Tieren. Es ist der Wahnsinn wenn man beim Frühstück die Giraffen beim Trinken beobachten kann. Sehr nette Inhaber die ein super Frühstück und Dinner servieren. Der Weg zur Lodge ist etwas schlecht ausgeschildert und die Starße ist nicht asphaltiert...

WOW! What a fantastic experience. This is a small slice of Paradise in the African bush near Kruger National Park. The setting is absolutely perfect and there are only 4 chalets so it is exceptionally exclusive and very special. Mette & Michael were fantastic hosts, always available if you needed, always happy to take you out on a Game drive (we saw a huge amount of wild life VERY up close and personal - there was an elephant drinking from the swimming pool one day!! - and one evening we were invited for a quick drive around the grounds as some very rare African Wild Dogs had been spotted - Michael managed to find them ..... just as the sun was setting! What really made this place special was the food! Wow!! It is absolutely world class and we adored the little 'African' twists every night at dinner. The Impala Steaks with a tomato relish and the Chocolate and Amarula mousse were one of the highlights of the holiday!! Mbizi lodge offers a true African experience at exceptional value for money

Perfekte Unterkunft um Tiere zu beobachten. Die Tiere kommen ganz nah, die Elefanten trinken aus dem Swimmingpool. Abends kann man nicht alleine vom Haupthaus zu den Zimmern da es keine Zäune o.ä. gibt und die Löwen, Elefanten und Leoparden einem jederzeit begegnen kann.

located in a private nature reserve, no fences. Excellent food and very friendly owners. Getting in and out the nature reserve is a bit awkward due to long interrogation procedures at the gate.

hervorragende Unterkunft mit sehr guter Küche. Leider waren im direkten Umfeld der Lodge kaum Tiere. Scheint nach den Berichten aber zufällig so zu sein. er Park ist halt groß und die Tiere sind nicht immer am gleichen Ort. Im Park selber haben wir dann viele Elefanten und Giraffen gesehen. Saubere und geräumige Hütten.
