We had the most amazing experience at Muweti. Hardus was incredible - friendly, caring and so knowledgeable & passionate about animals. We saw many wonderful animals and we learnt so much from Hardus & Byron our amazing guides. The lodge itself is lovely - clean, spacious and with a brilliant campfire at night! A real highlight of the lodge is being able to look out into the vast bush and even see some animals come up to the watering hole close by (we saw a herd of elephants!) To anyone considering this lodge: you should definitely book your stay here - I guarantee you won’t regret it!

Haardus was an excellent host! He was very knowledgeable and passionate about the bush. He was also extremely informative. The property was superb and surpassed our expectations! I would love to return in the future! The kitchen was fully stocked and the property was very clean. No bugs or insects in early July either.

Meals were great. Rooms are large, comfortable and very clean. Michel & Aruna were very welcoming and have a wealth of knowledge about the animals, birds and area. We had elephants in the garden and left tea half way through to go Lion spotting

Beautiful safari lodge with excellent staff and stunning game drives. Thomas (our main game driver) was excellent and made the drives so much fun. Whilst we unfortunately didn’t see a leopard (due to the numerous lions and elephants pushing them out), we were lucky to see all of the other big 5 on numerous occasions, including lion cubs! The accommodation was the ultimate glamping - comfy beds, in an air conditioned tent with an en-suite power shower. There was also a veranda overlooking the bush and watering hole to spot the animals. The food exceeded all expectations - as a vegetarian I was also looked after for every meal with thoughtful and delicious dishes. The sundowners at the viewpoint overlooking the African sunset cannot be beaten. I wholeheartedly recommend this lodge for any type of traveller looking for a South African safari.

Hosts were fantastic and very helpful. Meeting Rhino's at the watering hole before we had even checked into the property was amazing. Property is large enough for a large family gathering and the layout with private rooms was good.

Chacma is the perfect place from which to explore the big 5 and the broader SA safari experience. The setting is natural and beautiful with meals eaten outside to make the most of the waterhole and potential for wildlife spotting. Between safari rides comfortable rooms, shady spots across the camp and the pool provide the perfect setting for reading and relaxation. With just three rooms at Chacma, you’re guaranteed a much more intimate experience than staying at a bigger location. As a solo traveller the real highlight was the friendly and fun team behind Chacma: Matt, Josh and Charlie are fantastic, passionate guides who guaranteed that each trip out provided memorable, safe experiences while Karen, Lynx and the wider team at Chacma ensured a comfortable stay. You’ll learn so much from this team and they are only too happy to share their knowledge and experience with you. A special place I can’t wait to return to.
