Overview of Mhondoro Lodge

Located less than a 3-hour drive from Johannesburg’s OR Tambo International Airport, Mhondoro Game Lodge delivers luxurious accommodation in a malaria-free Big 5 game reserve. Part of the famous Waterberg region, Welgevonden Game Reserve is home to lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and buffalo as well as a rich variety of other animals and an impressive bird list.

Complete with spa, gym, pool and safari shop, Mhondoro Game Lodge offers family-friendly accommodation as well as suites that are suitable for discerning couples and honeymooners. There is a good choice of room types available, ranging from 4-sleeper family cottages to a lavish honeymoon suite. Large families and groups travelling together can book the exclusive-use villa, complete with private chef, butler, guide and safari vehicle.

The focus at Mhondoro is firmly on the game viewing experience but there are many other activities and experiences to enjoy. Morning and afternoon drives are augmented by guided bush walks and spot-lit night drives, and you can make use of the lodge’s excellent photographic hide mounted over water. There are children’s activities on offer as well as exciting rhino tracking adventures and stargazing sessions.

Dining

You will enjoy early morning tea and coffee with a light breakfast before your morning drive, a hearty brunch or lunch after your return, and then an afternoon high tea. Chilled drinks and snacks are served on your afternoon drive, followed by a more formal evening dinner at camp.

Dishes combine a ‘healthy food’ concept with African flair and are served communally at the main lodge in an indoor or outdoor setting. You have the opportunity to enjoy private dining too should you prefer meals to be more intimate and romantic. All dishes are homemade at the lodge and, thanks to the lodge’s greenhouse, use as much home-grown produce as possible.
