Ngalas Rest Mjejane Game Reserve

The house is modern, simple, and incredibly spacious. If you’re traveling with family, it’s perfect — everyone has their own space to relax and unwind. Each room comes with its own en-suite bathroom, and there’s an additional guest toilet in the main entertainment area, which is very convenient. One thing to note if you’re traveling with young children: each room has its own separate entrance from the outside. Also, if you’re a bit nervous at night, stepping outside late isn’t for the faint-hearted — we tried and quickly ran back 😄 Overall, it was the perfect weekend escape. Peaceful, relaxing, and exactly what you need for a bush getaway. Eric was a fantastic host, and the cleaning staff were wonderful too

We made breakfast ourselves.

The distance from the gate to the rooms

Everything

Everything you could possibly need. We took so much stuff that we didn’t need at all. Ivy and Thabo are a real asset, looking after us so well. Perfect location. Airocons so needed and appreciated. The house is perfect for “kuiering”, as rooms are separate from living area

Don’t really want to moan, seen as one is in the bush, but the WiFi is non existent. Made banking difficult (needed to pay for a game drive). The swimming pool has a leak, but didn’t impact our swimming at all

It was very clean 👌

Everything was great

Very classy / excellent amenities. Everything you want in the middle of the bush with animals on the doorstep. Really enjoyed the stay!

The lodge is spacious, beautiful, and private. The rooms are apart from the main house, allowing privacy. It is easy to access the Kruger National Park (30 min by car) via the Malelane gate (no direct access). One can also have a walk in the residential area, and there is a beautiful lookout point at the river. The game drive offered by Mjejane is also worthwhile, particularly the views along the river. Make a reservation in advance to secure availability. It is a tranquil place where one can relax and enjoy the stupendous surroundings. I was awakened at night by the sounds of roaring lions and saw many more animals walking past the fence in front of the patio and boma. The host, Eric, is always available on WA and responds quickly.

There is only 1 double fridge/freezer, and for 10 people, the fridge space was limited. I would recommend adding another fridge for beverages/drinks. The rooms are spacious but a bit empty, and could be made more homely by adding bigger carpets and decorations. There are sufficient cupboards.
