Mongena went the extra mile and beyond
I initially booked the Barnhouse, but didn't realize the Barnhouse is about a 15 minute drive from the main lodge area. We were planning to eat our meals at the lodge's Kingfisher restaurant, but we had to rely on the rangers to take us from the Barnhouse to the main lodge area, as there is no self-driving permitted. The Barnhouse is really nice and it's perfect if you're looking for a secluded place and plan to cook or barbecue for most of your meals, but I was expecting it to be within walking distance of the restaurant, so it wasn't what I was expecting. We hadn't brought much food, so we were really hungry that first day. Once we got to the restaurant and had a meal, we were in a much better mood, and it helped that we were served by a wonderful waiter named Isaac. The next day was a Monday, and the front desk was aware that the Barnhouse wasn't ideal for us, so fortunately they had a vacancy at the main lodge and put us in a two-story cottage that was perfect for us. During our three-night stay, we did two morning tours and one evening tour with ranger Matt who was very knowledgeable and kept the conversation lively. Matt also took our two sons along to feed animals near the reception area. After posting pictures of the animals we saw during our tours on my Facebook page, my friends from other parts of the world mentioned they loved seeing animals that they typically only see in a zoo, and some are now motivated to come to Africa!

It was a great weekend with friends. The food was very good and the game drives amazing. The location - so close to the city - is the cherry on top.

Great place to see Big 5 near Johannesburg
So near to Johannesburg that I took an uber there, as I didn't have a rental car. There are zebras grazing all over the property, at breakfast, by the pool. Dinner at the hotel restaurant as very nice, I was on my own and the staff took excellent care of me. Very good breakfast buffet too. The highlight was the game drive/safari the hotel operates. Maybe I was lucky, but an elephant came right up to us, and then took a bath in the lake just in front of us. Magical experience. Also saw a giraffe, lions and rhinos from a little further away. Nice wine tasting on the tour, very knowledgeable staff, stunning sunset. Highly recommended.
