MAIN LODGE
The Main Lodge is the vibrant heart of Mhondoro Safari Lodge & Villa. The Main Lodge and private Mhondoro Villa were extensively rebuilt in 2015, following a devastating fire. The masterfully decorated Main Lodge building of Mhondoro Safari Lodge & Villa boasts an Africa-meets-Europe chic and contemporary design.

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 & Villa is the first and only lodge in South Africa to offer this excitingly special experience.

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.
