Our stay at Mohlatetsi Bush Lodge was nothing short of magical—one of those rare experiences that stays with you long after you’ve left. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and immersed in the beauty and serenity of the bush. Located a short drive from Balule Gate, the private lodge was 3 km down a rugged track—secluded and worth every bump. The main house had a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining area, lounge, and bar, opening to a deck overlooking the bush and a watering hole. The private pool was a highlight, with staff setting up loungers and fresh towels daily. The outdoor area featured a barbecue, fire pit, and dining table, with staff setting the fire and chairs for evenings under the stars. The setup was perfect for two families with five children. The main house had three en-suite bedrooms, one with an outdoor bathroom overlooking the bush. Two separate houses, one with twin beds and the other a double, also had en-suite bathrooms for privacy. Game drives were unforgettable, with early starts rewarded by incredible sightings of the Big Five, including a rare black rhino with her baby. After each drive, we were greeted with refreshing, scented towels—a thoughtful touch. Downtime was spent lounging by the pool, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere, or watching cheeky monkeys, geckos, and mongooses around the lodge. Self-catering was effortless, with a well-equipped kitchen, huge fridge, and attentive staff who set the table and handled the dishes. The combination of luxury, adventure, and serenity exceeded all our expectations, and we can’t wait to return!

The property was very good, had great facilities such as a nice pool area and the honesty bar. The staff were amazing and really made us feel like family. We even went out for a meal with them on our final evening. Bianca the chef was amazing, all her meals were so good and diverse. Selby our game driver was the best we could’ve asked for, he was amazing at spotting all the animals and taught us so much, was a genuinely nice guy aswell. We already want to come back and will miss all of the staff. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to do a safari. We had a perfect experience. The hospitality was amazing aswell, they really do all the little details that made our trip so good.

It's my second time staying at Khiwane and it was once again amazing. The rooms are very spacious, there is a lot of space and the beds are very comfortable. There are a few restaurants around that are very good and it's close to the center of Hoedspruit. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to stay in beautiful Hoedspruit !

Staying at African Flair is a wonderful experience and a great place to base yourself to see the attractions of the region. This is one of those rare places where only videos or seeing the lodge in person can fully capture the attention to detail and layout of the lodge, photos just don't do justice to take it all in. The included breakfast is exceptional too and way better than anything you could find elsewhere in town. We don't often post reviews on accommodation that we stay at but this is an exception. Having visited all corners of the globe this is the closest we have seen to a 10/10. The lodge is roomy, well decorated and full of optional extras at your discretion to make your visit even more memorable. If you want to really cap off a memorable visit to the Kruger/Blyde River region, this is definitely the place to stay!
