Just had the pleasure of staying at Monwana Lodge. The accomodations were wonderful and the staff even better! We had the fortune of having Mich, Charl and G-force for most of our stay. (Emma and Jacques were away for a much deserved break). Every time we went out on a drive we had incredible sightings. Marvin G, the lion, always... More

From the moment arrived we knew it was going to be a special trip. With warthogs grazing in the car park we made our way towards the camp in the Land Rover spotting buffalo along the way. We arrived to beating drums and refreshments, immediately spotting cheetah's at the watering hole! Moments later we were shown to our room -... More

Our trip to Monwana was an amazing experience. The lodge is beautiful and the rooms have great view on all that comes to visit. We had nyalas just wondering through the camp, vervet monkeys drinking from the pool and lots of other wild animals drinking from the dam just outside the perimeter. We had great drives with Jacques, our guide,... More
