Mooi stil en rustige omgewing.

Paar bokkies gesien, niks meer nie (in 3 dae). Ablusieblokke vir tente en kampeerders is swak ingerig. Geen privaatheid tussen mans- en damesablusies nie. Selfs die opwaskombuis kan alles hoor wat in die toilette gebeur. Uit 4 damestoilette was 2 se sitplekke gebreek. Die ablusieblokke is miskien 'n eenster werd. Twee uit die drie dae kon die damestoilette glad nie spoel nie - die septiese tenk was verstop. Die inghangshek se ogies werk nie. Die hek het met die inkom en uitgaan op ons karavane toegemaak. Die omgewing is egter baie mooi. Vir kampeerders wat karavane sleep wees net bedag dat daar 30 km grondpad is voor die lodge wat nie in goeie kondisie is nie en die rytyd met amper 'n uur langer maak afhangende of dit 'n boskaravaan of gewone karavaan is wat gesleep word. Dieregeluide in die aande is baie mooi - jakkalsies en bobbejane.

Nice quiet and peaceful environment.

Saw a few bucks, nothing more (in 3 days). Ablution blocks for tents and campers are poorly equipped. No privacy between men's and women's ablutions. Even the scullery can hear everything that happens in the toilets. Out of 4 women's toilets, 2 had broken seats. The ablution pads are perhaps worth a one star. Two out of the three days the ladies toilets could not flush at all - the septic tank was clogged. The eyes of the entrance gate do not work. The gate closed on the entry and exit of our caravans. However, the environment is very beautiful. For campers towing caravans, just be aware that there is 30 km of dirt road in front of the lodge which is not in good condition and makes the driving time almost an hour longer depending on whether it is a forest caravan or normal caravan being towed. Animal sounds in the evenings are very nice - foxes and baboons.

'n Fantastiese wegbreek vannaf die stad se gejaag en tegnologie!

'n Fantastiese wegbreek vannaf die stad se gejaag en tegnologie - geen selfoon wat kan lui nie, geen internet wat jou besig kan hou nie - vars buite lug en pragtige natuurskoon!

Rustig en mooi.

Ons het in die tentekamp gebly en dit was baie rustig en mooi. Die boma het ook 'n lekker atmosfeer geskep in die aand. Sal altyd teruggaan.

Dit is still ontspannend,pragtig met wild wat jou oog vang.

Die tente was 'n ondervinding om te beleef. Dit was still weg van dorp se lawaai en karre wat ry. Ons kon net lekker ontspan en uit en goed uitrus. Dit is net jy moet met 'n hoe kar of bakkie ry op grond pad. Ek sal weer gaan uitrus daar dit was regtig waarde vir my geld gewees.

It is still relaxing, beautiful with wildlife that catches your eye.

The tents were an experience to be had. It was still away from town noise and cars driving. We could just relax and rest well. It's just that you have to drive a car or van on a dirt road. I will go again to rest there it was really value for my money.

Great treat and a beautiful area

During our 4 nights' stay we were spoiled by the way Liza, Mike, Esaja, Marinus, Sheila and Berta treated us. The meals were fantastic and the lodges are perfect. Due to the small scale of this lodge it is easy to feel at home. There is lots of space to sit in or outside and walk or cycle on the premises. The game drives were great. Mike sees every track and knows all about the animals and plants. We learned a lot by his enthusiastic lectures about the things we saw. Highlight was the cheetah that passed our car at an arms' length but we enjoyed the Franklins, chameleon, jackal and klipspringer just as much. We will certainly return here when we visit South-Africa again.

Tente bietjie warm.

Ek verstaan dat Matingwe Lodge nuut is en nog werk gedoen moet word, maar wil graag die volgende aanbevelings maak: Al die tente het wel 'n dubbel dak, maar is nog steeds vreeslik warm, die twee dakke is te na aan mekaar. Miskien matjies voor tent ingang neersit sodat sand nie ingetrap word nie. 'n Keuse van 'n dubbelbed moet moontlik wees. Die personeel en bestuur was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Tents a bit hot.

I understand that Matingwe Lodge is still new and a lot of work still needs to be done, but I would like to make the following recommendations: All the tents do have a double roof, but is still very hot, the two roofs are too close together. Maybe put mats in front of the tents' entrances so that you don't tread sand everywhere. A choice of double bed would be nice. The staff and manager are very friendly and helpful.
