Glamping Sites in Hoedspruit

Milima really is a great safari lodge. I personally find it pretty hard to decide which lodge you should choose, most tourists go on safari once in a lifetime or at max a few times in a lifetime so you don't want to make the wrong decision. I'm pretty sure that you wouldn't be disappointed if you chose Milima. Two years ago we stayed at a lodge for almost twice the price and to be honest apart from the other lodge being even smaller/more private (only 8 guests during our stay) Milima can easily compete with the much pricier lodge. MILIMA has a good sice with roughly 8 rooms so you'll have a chance to know every guest but it's not that small that it gets weird (at our last lodge we've been the only guests on one day which has some pros but also is a bit weird for us). The staff is really nice, food is really good (breakfast is good but compared to some other places in south africa "simple" meaning "only" normal scrambled eggs and omlettes by choice but no super fancy stuff like eggs Benedict but to be honest you don't go to a safari lodge for fancy breakfast but for safari). The Safaris were really fun, we stayed 3 nights (so 6 game drives included in the all inclusive concept) and we've seen the big five after 5 drives. Our first two to three drives weren't that lucky, it was really hot during the day (40 degrees Celsius) so the animals didn't show up that much, but our ranger Sidney really went the extra mile for us to see the animals we wanted most to see. We really wanted to see Hyenas - and he made that possible. On the evening before departure we weren't able to see Lions yet, we returned to the lodge and we're almost back at the lodge when someone found the Lions - Sidney offered to make some overtime to drive us to the spot where the Lions were spotted - and we've seen 5 Lions on the hunt, an unforgettable experience for which we are really thankful.

The lodge is half an hour’s drive from Hoedspruit. Then another 20 minutes to go through a gravel road. We were surprised by all the facilities. It’s very comfortable and even though the kitchen is small everything is there. It’s very quiet and you feel the nature around you. We had company of the monkeys who emptied all the garbage cans and came to drink water from the swimming pool the next day. The communication is fantastic via whatsapp, fast and enjoyable. Highly recommend to stay.

The place is amazing. Rooms are great, and the staff is a 10. Always here to help, very kind. We definitely recommend, eyes closed !

Absolutely stunning lodge with top quality fittings and decor. Great pool to laze around with a beautiful setting. The staff are really friendly and helpful. The food is delicious.

We loved staying there - friendly host, lovely animals and great overall

The staff was exceptional from arrival - Big shout out to Dear, Lux, and Percy - Best of the best

The staff made the difference in our stay. From the care preparing our breakfest to go for the safari to the warm welcome of Jeffrey, everything was perfect. The property has lots animals such as hippos, zebras and giraffes and it was amazing seing them so close. The dinners were spetacular! They made a south african barbecue in a beautiful set up by the fire place (even with the rain). If I ever come back to kruger, I would definetly stay at Phelwana.

Words can't describe how much i loved staying here! Not only is the surrounding landscape breathtaking, the game drives (thanks to Ilse&Renneck/ Terrance&Harry) incredible, and the manor itself beautifully furnished. The staff itself has been so kind, helpful and funny. They were always up for a chat, made me feel very relaxed and being in good hands. When i was the only guest one day, they put my dinner table right at the infinity pool, with the best view of Drakensberg. The chef made the most delicious meals! They made sure to call me, when the rare African wilddogs came to the water hole. Spa was incredible as well! They, also, kindly organized a day trip to close by Kruger Nationalpark for me. I will always cherish these memories. It was a dream come true. Thank you again for this memorable holiday!!

We had a wonderful time here. The entire team went above and beyond to give us a unique experience. The location and accommodations are fantastic. From your comfy couch and pool, you can spot elephants, crocodiles, and hippos. We even spotted a leopard on the boat trip on the Olifants River. Thank you, Cathleen, for spoiling us. And thanks to Chef Geshom, Eucan, Godfrey, and guides Aron and Amos. We'll have wonderful memories of you. Chantal & Francis
