"The Zebra reserve is a hidden gem. The staff are so kind and helpful, the food was fantastic, and the accommodations are well situated to enjoy the animals that walk through the village. We found everything to be great value for the money spent."

"The carpets were dirty and I felt like they only clean the inside, the outside stoep was dirty as well. The sleeper couch needs to be changed as well, they are too old"

"Staff very friendly and helpful"

"Great quiet spot in the reserve. Staff are fantastic, breakfast is as well. Plenty options close by for game viewing."

"We booked this trip after 2 difficult years of illness and work stress and we were looking for a relaxing and quiet place to go and unwind and enjoy nature. We dreamt of days and nights on the porch listening to the birds and watching the animals by the water hole but instead our entire trip was ruined by building works. We felt like we were right in the middle of a building site and all we could hear the entire trip was hammering, drilling, machinery and workmen so there was no chance of any relaxation and the building works scared away any animals that might have come to drink at the watering hole. The bathroom was also filthy on arrival - the toilet and sink had not been cleaned before our stay. We complained to management and nothing was done. We booked this trip in January and stayed in August so the lodge had plenty of time to inform us before our stay that there were building works happening during our trip and they didn't. "

"The place is woderfull and good for visit what i don't like. i book for 2 night, the bed was not done on the second day"

"We loved our stay at Mongena. Our 4 year old daughter loved having zebras and impalas walking around the lodge. The game drives were amazing, the guides were knowledgeable and very friendly. "

"The room was spacious and nice. The gardens were beautiful and quiet. "
