    The lodge exceeded all my expectations with its comfy chalets, stunning views, and jaw-dropping scenery. The swimming pool was a super COOL spot to relax, even though it got a bit crowded at times. The best part was the animals freely wandering around, like the adorable warthogs. The welcome was top-notch, with a ranger guiding us and a fun exhibition before dinner. The cottage had a superb view from the terrace and offered a wonderfully different experience. With so many activities in the beautiful nature, from hiking to horseback riding, this stay was truly mind-blowing.

    Beautiful wildlife encounters and stunning scenery at Mlilwane Game Sanctuary Villa. We loved exploring the park on foot and seeing animals up close. The restaurant offers excellent vegetarian options and has a breathtaking view of the lake. Despite a few minor drawbacks, overall I highly recommend this hotel for a memorable stay.

    The beehive huts in this nature reserve offer a unique and quirky accommodation experience. the huts are comfortable enough, with twin beds and a decent bathroom, although soap is only provided in the shower. the location is convenient, within easy walking distance of the main reception and restaurant. there is ample parking available.

    The complimentary wifi is only available around the reception area, and guests have to pay for a voucher to access it.

    We had a wonderful experience staying at Mlilwane Game Sanctuary Villa. The beautiful wooden house had a comfortable big bed with lovely sheets. Being surrounded by nature and seeing animals like impalas roaming freely was a unique experience. The restaurant at the lake served extraordinary good and delicious food. We also enjoyed watching a traditional dance and music performance. This place is a must-visit for anyone wanting to see wildlife and nature in Eswatini.

    Located in a convenient location, the lodge offers a rustic and tranquil experience. The Rest Camp provides comfortable huts that offer a good night's sleep. The common area with a lit fire adds to the cozy atmosphere. The friendly restaurant staff ensures a pleasant dining experience, and the surrounding natural beauty of the lodge creates a peaceful ambiance.

    There were occasional disruptions due to loud and drunken behavior by some day visitors using the pool area.

    I had the pleasure of staying at Mlilwane Game Sanctuary for two nights and it was an absolute delight. The surroundings were incredibly beautiful, offering peace and tranquility amidst nature. The traditional beehive hut we stayed in exceeded our expectations in terms of size and cleanliness, and it even had a lovely hot shower. It was a unique experience to have impalas sleeping right in front of our door at night. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, and I highly recommend taking the Roan Drive to see different animals than the usual Big 5. The restaurant served delicious food and the pool looked inviting, although we couldn't enjoy it due to the weather. a truly memorable stay in a paradise-like setting.

    Can't recommend highly enough this hotel.

    Amazing location in the middle of nature with impalas and other animals freely roaming around. The wooden houses were comfortable and had everything we needed. The buffet dinner at the lakeside restaurant was delicious and the evening entertainment was a nice touch. Plenty of activities to choose from including horse riding and mountain biking.

    Some invasive weeds on the property that don't support the local flora and fauna. The road to the resort was rough and not suitable for ordinary cars.

    The staff were friendly and helpful, providing great service throughout my stay. The cleanliness of the bathrooms in the campsite was impressive.

    The food served was unimaginative and poorly cooked. The WiFi, for which I had to pay, didn't work at all.

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Mlilwane Game Sanctuary Villa and it was truly a dream house! the view from the cottage was absolutely breathtaking and everything we needed was right there. the bed even had a big klamboo, which added a special touch. We enjoyed a lovely dinner at the Sanctuary restaurant and although it was a bit pricey compared to other places, the food was fantastic. For lunch, we tried Matenga café and ended up getting take-away for dinner the next day. the kitchen in the cottage was well equipped, so we could easily heat up our food. We also rented mountain bikes and had a great time exploring the plains. the wildlife in the sanctuary was incredible and we especially loved the roundhouse where we stayed on our second night. the staff at the reception were very helpful in arranging transportation to our next destination in Mbabane. One of the highlights of our stay was a sunset run through the wildlife area. It was a truly unforgettable experience. Cons: Nothing, all great! 👍.

    We had an amazing time at this place! The wildlife was incredible, with zebras, warthogs, and other animals roaming around freely. The views were absolutely stunning, and the rooms were rustic yet comfortable. The food at the main boma was delicious, especially the veggie curry. We also enjoyed the various activities available, like horse riding and mountain biking. a great experience!

    The abundance of mosquitoes and other insects in the park. We were glad we brought malaria pills, but it was still quite bothersome.

    I recently stayed at Mlilwane Game Sanctuary for a few days and it was an amazing experience. The location is perfect for nature lovers, with a beautiful park filled with wildlife right at your doorstep. The cottages were spacious and comfortable, with everything we needed for a self-catering stay. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the views from the cottages were breathtaking. We even had regular visits from impalas and bush pigs! The mosquito net provided added a touch of luxury to our stay. The staff were friendly and attentive, making us feel welcomed throughout our stay. The safari they provided was affordable and fantastic, and walking with the zebras in the morning was an experience I'll never forget. I highly recommend staying at Mlilwane Game Sanctuary for an unforgettable getaway.

    Would definitely recommend this hotel.

    We had an amazing stay at Mlilwane Game Sanctuary Villa. the wooden cabins were cute and basic, but the beds were comfortable and the shower was great. We loved the unique experience of staying in a beehive and the smell of the grass and wood added to the charm. the park itself was beautiful, with wildlife walks and an abundance of birds. It was a memorable and recommendable place to visit. Cons: All was good! 😀.
