All perfect. Concept ofa small lodge and trips in very small groups is specially attractive.. Guide Ishmael absolutely brilliant knowing how, where, and when to find the animals. By all means the experience (four nights) was worth it.

Chef-kok Riri made the best food! From breakfast to dinner: 10/10. Even when we went out they prepacked a lunch for us which was yummy! The hosts Victoria and Paul were very kind, flexible and helpful and provided us with everything we needed. The location was so perfect and so peaceful with a beautiful garden. Just loved it. Also the room was very nice (with airconditioning yes!)

Great staff, great food! Guides were very knowledgeable and went out of their way to make sure we saw as many animals as possible. James, the owner would join us for breakfast each morning and shared his knowledge about the area which we enjoyed. We stayed in a newly renovated room which was lovely.

We spent four nights at Muweti Bush Lodge, and it exceeded all our expectations. The accommodation is truly exceptional, with the entire staff being incredibly friendly and attentive. The rooms were well-maintained, clean, and comfortable. Muweti offers three lodges, ensuring a personalized and intimate experience. The food was outstanding, and we had the pleasure of dining together with other guests and our guides at one table -a wonderful way to share stories and connect. Each day featured two game drives, starting at 5:30 AM and 4:30 PM. Our guides, Hardus and Niel, were not only super friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable and passionate. Their expertise and enthusiasm turned every game drive into an extraordinary adventure. From the balcony and pool, we enjoyed stunning views of the savanna and were fortunate to spot a variety of animals visiting the nearby waterhole. A heartfelt thank you to Hardus and Niel for your exceptional guidance and for making our stay truly unforgettable. We can’t wait to return to Muweti Bush Lodge one day! Best regards, Lisa & Marius

I had the most wonderful 3 night stay at iMbamuweti cottage! The cottage was immaculately clean, beautifully decorated, and fully equipped with everything I could possibly need as I was self-catering. The location was perfect—peaceful, idyllic and wildlife walking literally outside the fence. As hosts, Mike and Laura were incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring I had everything I needed. The attention to detail was evident throughout the cottage and I especially loved relaxing in the private garden next to the splash pool. The cottage was cleaned daily, and a fire made up for me outside each day. Game drives were organised through the main lodge and I did two of these in the afternoons and had incredible sightings with very experienced and knowledgeable guides. I will definitely return and stay for longer next time. I highly recommend this beautiful cottage to anyone looking to relax and take in the sights and sounds of the African bush.

We were the only guests, and were given a free upgrade to the chalet with private pool. The host and gardener were also very kind and helpful. We greatly enjoyed spotting smaller wildlife from the hide out during the sunset and sunrise, and the peace and quiet of the stay. During the night we were visited by a honey badger twice that tried to get into the cupboards and fridge, some excitement for sure!

Amazing game drives given by Paul from Maninghi Lodge.

Amazing game drives given by Paul from Maninghi Lodge. He is the most knowledgable guide we have ever had. His passion and love for the bush is infectious! We thoroughly enjoyed our drives with him, and he was a large part of what made our stay so great!
