The service was great, we checked in very late and the lady was friendly and waited for us. they were able to accommodate me and my family with a special request no charge

The speedy response when asking for assistance and the friendly staff.

Mavela is a hidden gem and the team there should be congratulated on creating the most wonderful place to live amongst and experience wild Africa at it's best. For those looking for an alternative and more affordable alternative to the Kruger, this place ticks all the boxes. The quality of the accommodation is exceptional, the staff were unbelievable thoughtful and professional, and the location is simply stunning. How the chef and her team created such exquisite food in the bush beggars belief! We were so spoilt by Catlin our safari guide who treated us to the most genuine of bush experiences. Her passion for the local flaura and fauna was infectious and we learnt so much as well as just being able to sit back in awe of everything we saw. We came for the experience, not to tick Big five boxes, but were treated to mating lion, up close and personal sightings of elephant and so much more. The Manyoni Reserve's restrictions on vehicle numbers in and around significant sightings meant that we always felt that the wildlife came first and meant that we always felt like the privileged few, when we were invited into their world. This was our teenage boys first experience of wild Africa and we have no doubt that she has got under their skin and convinced them to keep coming back for more.

It was clean and the staff is so humbled environment is good everything was so exelent
