WOW, what an unforgettable experience!
Dear Madi, We have returned from our trip to South Africa, and WOW, what an unforgettable experience! We wanted to thank you for taking care of our accommodations while on safari in greater Kruger park. It was definitely the highlight of our trip!
Our stay at Mohlebetsi Lodge was one of the best travel experiences of our lives. We arrived at the lush and pristine grounds and were greeted by friendly staff and refreshing tea at which point we were shown to our room, a private thatch-roof hut with lovely accommodations and an outdoor shower. There was a hand written note welcoming us as well a fresh flowers. The meals were delicious: beautiful fresh fruit and vegetables, fresh bread, tasty meats. We were pleased to find that it was all very fresh products driving the menu rather than tourist-driven cuisine (we are not Americans who come to Africa to eat cheeseburgers!). The pool was refreshing and clean, the grounds were impeccable. One morning I discovered a plumeria tree and collected some of the fallen blooms to put in our room. The next morning I noted that the hospitality staff had replaced my, by now wilted blooms, with fresh ones! Something I found to be incredibly attentive and sweet! The game drives were the main activity of the lodge. Our ranger Hamilton, and trackers Sam and Sydney were amazing! We saw the big five plus hippo and the super rare African wild dog. They worked hard for all of us to get our sightings, driving hurriedly and far distances to catch a sighting of lion and wild dog. They also tracked and found a large bull elephant, an animal at the top of my list! Overall our trip was nothing short of magical. We have nothing but the highest recommendation of Mohlebetsi and are already planning a return trip!
