The rooms are decorated in contemporary African stile. In your room, you will find complimentary tea and coffee, facilities for early morning coffee and a minibar for sun-downers on your private veranda.
All chalets are nonsmoking. The 42m² chalet also features overhead fan, safe, wardrobe and hair dryer.
Area Information:Mbizi Bush Lodge is situated perfectly for a day trip to the famous Kruger National Park, just 25 km from the Kruger Phalaborwa Gate. Kruger National Park offers an excellent opportunity to watch a variety of African bird- and wildlife.
Watch the sun rise over the African bush from a hot air balloon. This is an early morning experience, where you will see the animals from the air as they awake. You will be awarded certificates after the tour, and as balloonist tradition tells, the landing will be celebrated with a glass of champagne.
Sleep out under the stars.
After an evening drive in an open game watching vehicle in Grietjie PNR, a barbeque or braai as they say in South Africa will be prepared. Then the sleeping bags are rolled out and you spend the night under the stars. The following morning there will be a game walk in the area. Breakfast will be served at Mbizi. It is expected that you participate in the practical work on the trip, such as preparing the dinner and be on watch for an hour during the night.
The Hans Merensky Golf Estate offers a beautiful 18 holes, par 72 golf course. You can meet giraffes, monkeys and impalas on the fairway. A very special golf experience.

Brunch will be served at Tshukudu after the walk.

Reviews
We stayed at Mbizi Bush Lodge during Christmas and can highly recommend it. The chalets are very comfortable, the amazing dinners are served by the friendly hosts on the deck with a view of the waterhole. Really enjoyed the pool which is a good spot for some bird watching.
We had an excellent stay at the Mbizi Lodge. The rooms were impeccable, elegantly decorated and yet cozy, well furnished with all amenities we need for a comfortable stay. Carefully remodeled on an ancient farm, the main house has a pleasant porch and an open dining room with a great view to the lowveld (and to the Drakenberg mountains in the background). The sunset at the pool under a marula tree gives you an ultimate African experience!
Directly linked to the Kruger NP and bordering the Oliphant river, the reserve is offers great opportunities wildlife viewing. We were met by a pack of jackals at our arrival. We saw elephants, giraffes, kudus, waterbucks and impalas, and that from the comfort of our breakfast table!
The hosts (Michael and Mette) are very attentive, knowledgeable about the surrounding region and more than happy to make your stay as pleasant as possible. The food was superb! Mette is a world-class chef, and wondering about the dinner menu became a pastime during the game drives!
So, if you are looking for an extraordinary off-the-beaten-track exclusive way to experience the Kruger National Park and surroundings, treat yourself to a stay at Mbizi Lodge.
This place was one of the best places we ever had in South Africa. Incredible location (in the Kruger park), excellent food, very nice rooms, beautiful pool, great guests. At very affordable prices!
