Mhondoro Safari Lodge & Villa is a luxurious, five-star private Safari Lodge and Villa situated within the malaria-free Welgevonden Game Reserve in Limpopo, South Africa.

After a devastating fire in 2013 the whole lodge was rebuilt and completed in 2015, and the interiors decorated in an ‘African Chic’style – an elegant mix of African design and contemporary European design.

The sophisticated, yet child-friendly lodge, is known for its underground waterhole hide, which is connected to the Main Lodge by a tunnel. This unique feature offers an accessible, safe and one-of-a-kind opportunity to get up close to the animals drinking at the waterhole in front of the lodge.

Mhondoro Safari Lodge is family friendly, yet is private and exclusive, enabling guests to relax and explore abundant wildlife on guided game drives.

There are two Deluxe Suites at Mhondoro Safari Lodge. Both accommodate two guests and each has one bedroom with a bathroom and a private viewing deck overlooking the waterhole.

The Family Suite accommodates four guests. It has two bedrooms and because of its shared bathroom, dining and living areas, it’s the perfect accommodation for families with all facilities of the Main Lodge within a short walking distance.

The Honeymoon Suite offers the perfect romantic getaway. The building accommodates two guests and boasts one spacious bedroom with an en-suite bathroom.

The Executive Suite accommodates four guests and has two bedrooms, both with en-suite bathrooms. There is also an extra lounge area with a fireplace and a private viewing deck.

Welgevonden Game Reserve’s strict policy limiting the number of vehicles on the Reserve, enhances the exclusive and peaceful game drives and ensures there will be no interruptions from vehicle traffic.

For those preferring to indulge in blissful relaxation, there is a Spa and Wellness Massage Suite where a team of experienced beauty therapists offer treatments to help you unwind.

Or perhaps a bracing workout at the fully equipped gym will suit those wishing to stay in shape while viewing the animal activity at the waterhole. The heated pool, sauna, bar and lounge areas are available to all guests throughout the day.

Mhondoro Safari Lodge is only a 2-hour 45-minute drive from O.R. Tambo International Airport, making it the perfect safari destination for those coming to South Africa via Johannesburg.

Even faster is travelling by small plane as you’ll arrive in less than an hour and you’ll enjoy the breathtaking experience of flying over the Waterberg and Welgevonden Game Reserve en route.
