5 Star Hotels in Mbombela, Mpumalanga

"What can I say other than I would love to return year after year to this place. From the staff who greeted us to the ranger and tracker who accompanied us in open Land Rovers on our small group safaris, every single person gave us care, attention and made us feel so very welcome. We saw amazing wildlife (6 of the Magnificent Seven), and even did some exciting off-roading in pursuit of a glimpse of the rarely seen African wild dogs who were running in a pack. Honestly, I could have driven all day...

"The accommodations were excellent. Great staff and excellent food. The entire safari experience was awesome. The rangers and trackers were the best."

"Incredible experience. All staff and guides are so friendly and approachable. Our guide (Jabu) and tracker (Wanted) are incredibly knowledgeable and fun to be with. All are so passionate about their lodge and ensuring an unforgettable experience. "

"Great spa great staff you will enjoy. Period. They really know what they’re doing and how to take care of you."

"Truly a 10/10 experience. Great accommodation, good food, excellent host (and our dogs enjoyed it as much!)."

"It was the most amazing 5-star experience anyone could ever want! Gary and Jo are so very sweet, and it was honestly one of the best experiences ever :) I'm very thankful that I found this hidden gem ride inside Kruger. It was so much better than i expected, and everything there everything was very clean and they had all the amenities that you would need. Highly highly recommended! "

"John was a great help and a real credit to Matumi Lodge"

"The location is wonderful with game regularly visiting the river from the Kruger opposite. When we arrived, about a dozen elephant were wading across and hippo were wallowing. The rooms each have their own private terraces where fires are lit each night, and open up into a lovely common area where birds and the 3 incumbent nyala are encouraged. Meals are served on your terrace, ask if you want tea or coffee delivered with breakfast rather than make your own from the room tray. Rooms are...

"Truly amazing place & people!! We will definitely be back. Martje & all the staff were brilliant."

"If you are looking for a unique place close to Kruger then look no further! What makes Highgrove House truly magical is probably a well kept recipe. If I had to describe it, I’d say that you’d need to mix the hospitality and welcome of staying with family with a well polished high end establishment. Combine it all with the fact that you’re dining in a period mansion house. Top it up with a good measure of peaceful countryside atmosphere and you have the rough recipe for this unique place....

"We loved everything about our time at Leopard Hills! Would absolutely recommend to anyone planning a safari. We were blown away by the close encounters with wildlife. The staff go above and beyond to make your visit special. "

"We arrived just as it was about to start raining. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Lunch in the River Cafe was quick and delicious and then we went for our Spa treatment. The heavens opened just as our treatment began, and it was so relaxing hearing the rain drop down on the canvas while we were having one of our best treatments ever. Our room was just as per the fotos, beautiful, with exceptional quality linen. We also spent some quality time in the bath overlooking the forest. ...
