The lodge was amazing , far exceeded our expectation. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel like family by Bjorn , Divya and their two adorable little boys who seemed to know more about animals than I thought humanly possible . Divya is an amazing cook , going to great lengths to ensure that each meal was a culinary experience. Her passion for food is contagious, and I can honestly say I’ve never eaten so well. Bjorn’s passion , dedication and knowledge for the wildlife of Grietjie was always evident, not only during each game drive , but also during the long conversations he shared with myself and my granddaughter. My granddaughter and myself spent 2 weeks at Mbizi, each day brought a new adventure, from Elephants visiting to drink from the pool , to giraffes wandering over to the lodge to just hanging out , to emergency treatment of a baby elephant that had been injured in poachers snare which unfolded before our eyes. Divya and Bjorne went over and beyond to ensure our experience was memorable , they even invited us to join them for Mother’s Day Lunch . There are no words to express our gratitude, thank you Divya, Bjorn , Noah and our little wild child Luca.

The property was very good, had great facilities such as a nice pool area and the honesty bar. The staff were amazing and really made us feel like family. We even went out for a meal with them on our final evening. Bianca the chef was amazing, all her meals were so good and diverse. Selby our game driver was the best we could’ve asked for, he was amazing at spotting all the animals and taught us so much, was a genuinely nice guy aswell. We already want to come back and will miss all of the staff. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to do a safari. We had a perfect experience. The hospitality was amazing aswell, they really do all the little details that made our trip so good.

What a great stay! We were really satisfied by our stay. Absolutely highlights were the amazing location and the super friendly staff. The Lodge is located next to the river, which gives the opportunity to see a lot of animals. We saw for example some; crocodiles, hippos, babboons and elephants next to the river. Regarding the staff: super friendly, good organized and you feel directly welcome! Not unimportant, the lodge is clean and all needed facilities are there! We would definitely recommend to go here and will go back when we are in the surrounding.
