Mhondoro Safari Lodge & Villa - South Africa
SUPERB SAFARI DESTINATION
MAIN LODGE
The Main Lodge is the vibrant heart of Mhondoro Safari Lodge & Villa. The Main Lodge and private Villa were extensively rebuilt in 2015, following a devastating fire. The masterfully decorated building boasts an Africa-meets-Europe chic and contemporary design that invites guests of all ages, and from all corners of the globe, to make themselves at home.
WATERHOLE HIDE
Mhondoro Safari Lodge & Villa offers the unique opportunity to have an eye-to-eye encounter with wildlife from their underground waterhole hide. The hide is connected to the Main Lodge through a 65 metre reinforced concrete tunnel and Mhondoro Safari Lodge is the first and only lodge in South Africa to offer this excitingly special experience.
MHONDORO VILLA
The ultimate in luxury and privacy, Mhondoro Villa is perfectly suited for exclusive family or small group bookings of up to six guests and where every desire has been anticipated in advance. Being set apart from but within short walking distance of the Main Lodge, every comfort has been taken care of through the luxury it offers.
RETREATS
Without even noticing, everyone is taking toxins into their body, either through chemicals sprayed on food, through additives in our food, through cosmetics, air pollution or medicines. Enjoy the ultimate spoil by treating yourself to an exclusive yoga and detox programme. Note: advance bookings are essential due to limited availability!
BIG 5 OF MHONDORO
BIG 5
Welgevonden Game Reserve is home to over fifty animal species, including Africa’s world-famous Big 5: African lion, African elephant, Cape buffalo, African leopard and rhinoceros. Our rangers are experts in tracking these magnificent creatures during the early morning or late afternoon game drives. The 35,000 hectare reserve contains the world’s largest concentration, on private land, of the highly endangered white rhino. The Reserve’s renowned anti-poaching unit has ensured that not one of these gargantuan grazers has ever been lost to poaching – an incredible feat on a continent where the practice is endemic.
RANGERS DIARY
ELEPHANT AT THE OFFICE
Living in the bush, you have no choice but to adapt, quickly, and become accustomed to challenges that are very different from what you would find in the City!
LION AT THE WATERHOLE
Many animals come to drink at our waterhole hide, as well as the saline pools at Mhondoro’s main lodge and Villa. On more rare occasions, leopard, cheetah, rhino and lion also visit.
