Magical, unique, a privileged experience of Kruger
This is a most beautiful and tranquil hideaway that invites you in so you never want to leave. In the first hour of our arrival a herd of elephants with some babies came to drink, just metres away. Hardus and his team offered impeccable service. Wonderful meals every day, with every wish catered for. The highlight, by far, was the game drives early morning and late afternoon. Hardus is an exceptionally knowledgeable and competent guide, and full of passion for the animals and the environment. We experienced incredible sightings, from lion to elephants at play, to almost everything else. It’s very beautiful and interesting terrain, with a marvellous riverside experience included. Our early morning coffee outside the vehicle on the river bank, watching the hippos and the sunrise, were memorable. It doesn’t get better than this!

Highlight of a 3 week trip. Unforgettable.
Unique stay in a private reserve where you can really absorb nature and get closer than ever. We stayed 3 nights south Kruger then 3 nights here and this blew our other experience out the water. Hardus the Braai master thank you so much for making it the trip of a lifetime. We will always remember this as the spark that lighted our love for the African safari. The place itself is really clean and really in the thick of it. From our balcony we saw elephants, giraffes and heared lions roar. Unforgettable. The food is incredible too all freshly made. The game drives were also unreal. Not only for the big game but the small parts of nature you usually dont stop to see! Chameleons spiders lizards snakes etc. Not a guarantee but we saw it all!

A piece of paradise in the African bush
What a wonderful find. Its like your own bit of paradise in the African bush. Muweti is an intimate holiday destination, only hosting six guests at a time. The location, venue and food is second to none. Whilst at first glance it may appear above budget, compare this to what you get and you will find it is worth every penny and it is an experience you will not regret. Thank you Hardus, Sam and all the staff working behind the scenes for making our visit memorable.

Came as Guests, Left as Friends! We just returned from a wonderful 4-night stay at Muweti. My husband and I visited a different reserve abutting Kruger a year ago and loved it so much that we brought our two adult daughters along this year to expereince the beauty of the bush for themselves. Visiting this area two years in a row gave us a unique perspective on a lot of things but particularly on how special the experience of staying at a small lodge is. If you don’t have time to read this full review, I’ll just say that a stay at Muweti will be one of the best travel decisions you make. A lot of people book a game lodge with one thing in mind, animals. But game drives are just one part of the overall Muweti experience that includes sharing incredibily well-prepared meals with people from other parts of the world, enjoying a glass of wine sitting around the fire, falling asleep to the sound of Jackals calling to eachother, and witnessing the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets in the world. Having said that, our amazing guides, Hardus, Lynette and Mike took us on the most exhilerating drives and taught us so much about cultural tradtions, the vegitation, the environment, impacts of human/animal conflict, honestly, we learned as much in 4 days as we would in an entire semester of a university class. And yes, we saw so many animals, too many to list but lions, leopard, and elephants were among them! I think it’s worth noting as well that the beauty of Muweti lies in its se

Muweti was just a wonderful stay! Great communication with Mike before the stay, and Hardus and Lynette were very hospitable and took us out for awesome game drives, sharing their knowledge about the different animals. We stayed in the self-catering cottage and were lucky to have elephants walk past it one of the afternoons, and even spot a leopard during the game drive in the Muweti premises. Coming from KNP Muweti felt like such a luxury with clean beds, large and spacious cottage and well equipped self-catering facilities in the cottage. Had a blast trying out Braai with the wood ourselves. Will be recommending that friends go visit!

Hands down BEST place to stay in Greater Kruger
Look no further- this is the most incredible place to stay!! We watched elephants by the watering hole every day whilst we ate breakfast. Food was incredible, staff so friendly and the game drives were all included in the price...and they were brilliant! We saw a lion 50m from the front of the lodge!

Holiday in the Bush
Mike and Laura and staff are excellent hosts. Hospitality was excellent. Very relaxing environment and just a nice overall place to relax and take in the sites. Food was excellent and game drives enjoyable. Even though the number of animals may be smaller than what you may see at other lodges the pace was excellent and a wide variety of animals were observed. Enjoyed our time there and would probably spend more time if we could during a subsequent trip.

A real Life Experience. Excellent Safari Lodge.
Morning and evening safaris with Mike in his massive Landrover to see the wildlife in Grietjie Game Reserve. We saw mongoose, jackals, warthogs, antelope, zebra and giraffes a plenty. Birds; beautifully coloured Lilac Breated Rollers, Go Away birds, eagles, doves, hornbills, (there were Zazus flying past all the time), glossy starlings and a flock of vultures and many many more. And we saw a huge crocodile, and Big Cats ..........a leopard in a tree before dawn, satisfied after it's midnight feast of a little duiker antelope, which we had seen the night before, hanging over a branch of that same larder tree; you could smell offal in the air. And finally, a pride of 7 lions. We watched them for about an hour. They were in the distance, on a hill and then gradually they moved down to a clearing about 40 metres away. And then seven wild lions passed our open landrover about 5 to 15 metres behind us, without batting an eyelid. Spell-binding.

Imagine aquele lugar que te deixa com gostinho de quero mais. Fomos embora com vontade de ficar. Só temos a agradecer pelas 3 noites/dias maravilhosos. A Equipe do Muweti é perfeita, atenciosa.

O hotel é muito aconchegante , os proprietários fazem parecer que você está em casa , entre amigos , muito bom o atendimento. Jantar preparado na hora , no fogo de chão , com muita qualidade , o quarto é uma tenda que mais parece uma casa , muito confortável e agradável em meio a floresta , com animais passando a todo tempo na varanda. Sempre com toda segurança. Os safáris são inclusos , Safari da tarde foi excelente vimos 13 leões em nossa frente em poucos minutos ….. o Safari pela manhã já não tivemos sucesso, tendo pouca vista de animais. O ponto alto é a qualidade no atendimento de toda a equipe , voltaria novamente com certeza , e indico a todos.

Sehr schöne und private Top-Lodge als solche! Wir waren schon sehr oft in Private Game Reserves und hatten nie einen besseren und kundigeren Gastgeber und Guide wie Hardus von Muweti. Befremdlich für uns war allerdings, dass wir auf den Game Drives des Öfteren nicht direkt zu erkannten Tieren fahren konnten weil das Grietjie Private Nature Reserve, in dem die Muweti Lodge liegt, aus vielen, sehr kleinen Privatanwesen besteht, deren Eigentümer es nicht zulassen, dass Game Drive Fahrzeuge anderer Lodges ihr Areal befahren. Das hatten wir in anderen Reserves, die sich ebenfalls an den Kruger Park angeschlossen haben, noch nie erlebt.
