Independent, Makhonjwa Mountains hotels

"We like everything in this HOTEL MERCURE!.,. The amazing Food, Antoinette help us how to reach KRUGER NATIONAL PARK and staff was very kind. I recommend this place to star any SAFARI Adventure. Two thumbs up 👍 👍"

"This was the perfect base for our exploration of Kruger National Park. The accommodations themselves were amazing. Clean and comfortable, we were immensely pleased with ourselves for having booked our room at Kruger Eden. From our very hospitable host, Natalie, to the chef, Joseph, to every smiling employee we met, we always felt welcome and valued. Natalie was outstanding from beginning to end. She reached out on WhatsApp to confirm our arrival time and was there to meet us when we showed up after dark. She happily helped us with booking two safari drives (one private and one through Kruger). She gave us excellent suggestions on where to drive ourselves in the park when we were in our own vehicle. And she responded to every message we sent through WhatsApp in a very timely fashion. Natalie is the most competent host we have ever met! As a bonus, Kruger Eden has its own water purification system enabling us to drink freely without worry. We wholeheartedly recommend Kruger Eden for your trip to this amazing park!"

"Staff is phenomenal! Beautiful property with great river views with awesome wildlife sightings. "

"I had a wonderful stay at your hotel! From the moment I arrived, the ladies at the reception were incredibly warm, welcoming, and professional ,they truly set the tone for a great experience. The room was spotless and exceptionally well-maintained. I was especially impressed by how clean everything was, and the quiet atmosphere made it perfect for rest and relaxation. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and would gladly return. Highly recommended"

"I had a wonderful experience. Everything was perfect—the rooms were comfortable, and the atmosphere was peaceful. One of the highlights was enjoying breakfast on the deck, which offered a beautiful view of the trees and mountains. The scenery really stood out and made the mornings extra special. I highly recommend Mantengo Lodge for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway surrounded by nature."

"I had the kings suite. Quite nice that in a large villa there is a shared space but you also have your own room or suite inside the villa. It was quiet and comfortable. The location in the Ezilwini valley is very beautiful and convenient if you have a car. Friendly personnel and a relatively good restaurant too. I tried the eggs Benedict for warm breakfast that was so so not the greatest but am confident that other warm breakfast options will be better. Overall I would recommend it. "

"Room was decent, clean, staff was super helpful. "

"Beautiful lodge with very classy features, WONDERFUL staff, and the best for a great stay "

"We liked our stay at the game reserve, our unit overlooked the river which was very relaxing, we only went on 1 game drive due to not seeing any Elephants or Lions which was disappointing and the Buffalo where very far away, the vehicle for the game drive was very old and difficult to get in and out as I have had 2 hip replacements."
