Mdluli Safari Lodge

Let me tell you about Mdluli safari lodge, but first let me also tell you that this review is unlike other reviews. I am not like other bloggers that are paid to come for free and write the review in return , this is what makes my review real and genuine.
Location, the lodge is 5 hours out of JHB, which makes it a reasonable drive, out of the city . The check in was quick, we were welcomed with with fresh juice. One of the staff members assists you with your luggage and drives you on golf cart to your amazing, luxury tent.
The lodge is pretty new , it was opened just before covid, so you can imagine that in the past 2 years there was not much activity, therefore the facility is new .
The tents are like any 5 stars hotel room , very spacious, nice patio where you can sit in the afternoon with glass of wine , decent space as a "living room" . The size of the shower is also spacious (you don't touch the wall when you bend) as well as the toilet. The bed is huge and so comfortable, the linen are soft and warm.
For those that cannot live without coffee, there is no espresso machine in the tent (you can order a room service cuppacino or bring a small nespresso machine with you).
The Dining room is huge, you have enough space and privacy between yourself and other guests. It's overlooking the kruger park , so you can sit and relax whilst enjoying the beauty of creation.
The lodge has a Boma area, sometimes the dinner will be there. The Boma area is unique , it's overlooking the Kruger park and you eat undernearh a "blanket" of stars and the moonlight , there are small lanterns on each tables that contribute to amazing intimate atmosphere.
Its doesn't matter if you are there for breakfast, lunch or dinner , there is a variety of fresh food.
You have a bar area that also overlooks the Kruger park where you can enjoy a drink in a relaxed environment.
I would add, a pool / billiard table and dart board.
The swimming pool is well designed, and also overlooks the Kruger, in the afternoon you might see wild animals coming to the nearby waterholes which are close to the lodge. The swimming pool has nice shallow area, if you don't want to wet your full body and only have light dip, or if you wish you can just jump in and enjoy.
The staff are very service orientated, and from what I understand they all from the community nearby .
I was spoiled with a swedish and foot massage (it was so good that I fell a sleep, a definite must do )
The lodge offer game drives with professional ranges, the advantage is that the rangers are able to explain and give you information about the kruger, the wild life and the vegetation that you won't be privy to doing a self drive, however you can either drive in the Kruger by yourself to save cost , or the add a few rand and enjoy a professional guide.
