The location was great, inside the Pilanesberg park surrounded by nature. The rooms were very cozy, great bathroom with exterior shower and nice thatch roofs, very quite area. We really enjoyed the game drive through the park. All the meals were very good, we had some crocodile for the first time, and the ox tail was fantastic.

This place took my breath away, the rooms are huge, and there is a lot of space to sit and chat. The braai area is well thought out, and there is a massive kitchen to prepare food for many people. But the absolute best part of these villas, is the view. You get to sit at the pool looking over the bushveld, with all kinds of animals coming to a watering hole. We saw Impala and an elephant in the evening. Game drives are provided into the reserve or you can get a permit at reception for your own vehicle if you can brave the roads. The park has a lot of wildlife, there are plenty of animals to see.

Our experience at this accommodation was amazing. It is such beautiful and clean place based in lovely surroundings. The decor was lovely, the room was amazing. Just like the photos. The staff were super friendly and accommodating. Any queries or issues were answered and solved immediately. The food was buffet style with the option to order from an additional menu, it was fresh and tasty and the safari drive was brilliant. We had 2 rides included in our package and enjoyed every moment of it. We were lucky enough to see a few elephants arrive and drink at the pool as soon as we got there, that was more than special. I highly recommend this establishment, everything was perfect for us and we would definitely go again. It was worth every penny. I can't thank the staff enough as they were all fantastic and made us feel welcomed!

Our stay was absolutely incredible – hospitality on a whole different level (if we could give 11/10, we would!). The entire team went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and every single person we met was exceptionally kind and genuine. The food was delicious, and every meal felt like a treat. A special shoutout to our amazing guide Andrew – your knowledge and energy made our experience truly unforgettable. And a huge thank you to our wonderful host Phindi – you were so helpful and kind. Thank you for everything – we’ll never forget this place!

This is an exceptional lodge in an amazing environment. My wife and I had been on safari many years ago in the Masai Mara and yet Pilanesberg while different was just as rewarding. There were two organised safaris each day and each and every one created memories to cherish. I loved the staff, who were so proud of the game reserve and so committed to making sure it was a wonderful experience, always friendly and helpful. The food was delicious, the chef was just great. I loved our spacious lodge and its little plunge pool. Our safari guide Humbu really helped make the experience special. We are so grateful to him, with his incredible enthusiasm and knowledge, for the way he used his wisdom from 22 years of doing this job to orchestrate the best possible sightings for whatever animals we encountered.

Pilansberg is a 3 hour from Johannesburg.

Pilansberg is a 3 hour from Johannesburg. It is easily accessible however the roads to the Pilansberg are not in great shape. It would be best to take a shuttle than to drive yourself. The park is fantastic with all the animals. We saw many lion, a leopard, many elephants, many rhino and lots more. I highly recommend.

Pilansberg Game reserve is falling apart, literally.

Pilansberg Game reserve is falling apart, literally. This will be our last trip and we have been going for 15+jears. The road to the reserve is horrific but worse is the roads in the reserve itself. The "tarred" sections or what's left of it is one pothole after another, not pleasant to drive at all, even at the 40km speed limit in the reserve. Hides are becoming dangerous, falling apart and the toilet facilities at these hides are TERRIBLE! It is sad to see the facilities in the reserve keep declining.

Pilanesberg has never let us down.

Pilanesberg has never let us down. Even in heavy rain there is always something if you look hard enough and seeing the park in all weathers and different seasons, with the mountains, green spaces, trees, and dams is such a treat. Love every visit! Fish Eagle lookout is spectacular and the salt lick by the visitor centre usually brings in some animals and/or birds toward the start and end of the day - plus the coffee is good.

The wildlife in the Pilanesberg is varied and every game drive we went on was well rewarded with good viewing on the plains. Black rhino reserve is quite different and probably better viewing in winter when less undergrowth.

I was here six years ago. There are much less animals. Looks like they removed hundreds animals to private game drives. It is not Pilinesberg that I saw six years ago. If you don’t want to be upset, choose Kruger.

Fantastic location for easy access to the Pilansberg with fabulous guides. We had Dolfie, and he was awesome. He ensured we saw the big 5 plus many others over 2 days, including a honey badger. He was also very knowledgeable about the birds and the small critters. Bed was super comfortable and the staff all went out.of their way to ensure our stay was as comfy as possible. Evening diner.in the boma was a fantastic end to a busy but amazing game drive.

I cannot say enough good things about Mbazo! The team are exceptional and they go above and beyond to ensure that every guest is taken care of. The rooms are out of this world and the food is first class. The safari guide was excellent and the highlight had to be the elephants coming to drink from the pool right outside the hotel.
