Unfortunately, due to the current extreme heavy rain, it was not possible for us to arrive as we were stuck in the storm area. The host was very polite throughout the communication and eventually even made sure we got a refund. That's what I call outstanding service! Thank you very much for that. Hopefully it will work out for the next stay in South Africa, we would be happy.

Location in the private reserve was fantastic with pool and a view to animals passing by. The two daily Game Drives were also fantastic with guides that have a high level of knowledge of all topics concerning the private reserve and animal life. We felt completely save eventhough we were very close to both lions, elephants, girafs and a lot of other animals. Food was delicious and well-prepared. Atmosphere at the bush lodge were welcoming and calm. At the bush lodge has in totale room for maximum 6 people which makes a friendly and close atmosphere. Our biggest compliments to Niel and Milly who made our 2 day stay unforgettable. We are definitely planning to come back and bring our family next time.

I had a really beautiful stay at the lodge. As a solo traveller, Milima did an excellent job to make sure I had everything I needed and could access all opportunities. Thomas, one of the rangers, was incredible. He's super knowledgable and just a delightful human. I hope to return again!

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.

Everything exceeded my expectations, The reserve was phenomenal, the lodge and staff were great especially Leanne our game ranger. She made sure she found us the big five and much more in 2 days. The best lodge and reserve I've ever been to, we absolutely loved every minute of it.

    My partner and I stayed for 2 nights as a birthday gift. It was amazing. Guide, Millie was fantastic and we were able to see an abundance of game throughout our 4 game drives. On arriving back to the lodge after our morning or evening drive, Hardus and the other staff had breakfast/dinner ready to go and it was delicious. During the day, we sat by the pool and watched the elephants stroll by! We would 10/10 recommend.

    The staff were excellent. On the safari's we saw heaps of animals. Our guides went out of their way to find any animal we hadn't yet seen. Seeing all the hippos coming out of the river was the highlight of our trip!!

    We had such a lovely time at Muweti. It is a small and intimate lodge with great staff. We really enjoyed the food and the personal touches. We loved to see the elephants from the watering hole and the guides taught us many interesting things about the bush and the wildlife. A real safari experience. We also enjoyed interacting with other guests. Thank you to the Muweti team!

    We loved every second :) This Lodge is really living up to the great reviews it already got. We felt so welcomed into this lovely family. We especially liked that we got an honest and realistic perspective on safari and living in the nature reserves. The owners take a lot of responsibility and put a lot of work into creating an environment were tourists and the animals can enjoy themselves and be safe. I couldn't recommend it enough :)

    We liked everything. The road to the lodge is long and a little bumpy, but we enjoyed this as an extra safari. We always saw animals. The hotel is amazing and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone.
