The staff at Phelwana are simply the best. Katie and her team were very accommodating and especially helpful when we had a minor medical emergency. They were the family away from home we needed!

Secluded, renovated and super quiet, perfect to relax. Nice pool, cool old school outdoor gym and viewing areas where we saw an elephant walk by right in front of us. Also close enough to Kruger park and blyde canyon

This resort is absolutely fantastic, it was way beyond what I expected and we loved it. Leandra and her team met all our expectations. Our meals were delicious and very South African - which we loved. It's amazing to eat traditional meals from the country. Our tents were perfect, clean, and beautiful. Game Drives were unbelievable.
Ideal for nature lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and have kitchen facilities. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than vacation homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.
If you want a simple yet comfortable and authentic South African bush experience this lodge is for you! Great ambiance, adorable staff, super comfy rooms with a beautiful swimming pool, good food (accommodates vegetarians) . Just outside of Orpen Gate! Seriously a great surprise! We did enjoy it a lot!
Breakfast was wonderful, tasty and carefully prepared by Simone. She is a great chef and puts effort into the preparation and presentation of the meals. The lodge is conveniently located between Blyde River and the Orpen gate. The management couple, Morne and Simone, is very friendly and top class hosts. Simone packed an amazing breakfast on our departure morning (5am).
This stay was incredible, Simone and Morne made my trip to Kruger so easy and enjoyable, from the packed lunches to the homemade dinners and chats I couldn’t recommend this lodge more. They really make it special, I booked this last minute not really knowing what to expect but I’m so so glad I did! Went as a solo traveller and it was perfect!
On the way to Makuwa safari lodge welcomed by a leopard couple we found a true chef in Simone and two decades of safari knowledge in Morne in an amazing place. Lions roaring at the campfire in the evening, delicious dinner and breakfast plus the service of Prince as a personal guide in Kruger.
Very clean with lot of free land around the lodge. Highly dedicated couple looking after the lodge. Excellent meals (vegetarian). Knowledgeable guides Morne and Shane provided lots of information about animals on safari tour. Simone and Morne very accommodating and helpful.
The hosts Simone & Morne are amazing. They are welcoming and very caring. They gave us great recommendations, organized different safaris and were always there to help. The food at the lodge was prepared with love and it was delicious, from breakfast to dinner! We can also recommend the bush walk they are offering - Morne has great knowledge of the area, animals, and plants. It was lots of fun to explore the bush with him!
Thank you for the unforgettable experience!
What a great place run by lovely people. Simone and Morne are amazing hosts who made us very welcome. The lodge location is beautiful with impal greeting us as we arrived. The food and service were fantastic. Morne gave us great advice for our self drive safari in the Kruger and Simone made a fantastic dinner. We really enjoyed sitting round the fire taking to them.
