Mawusi Bush Lodge was the perfect getaway for our family of four. If you are looking for a place to unwind and connect with nature, this is the place for you. Nestled in the heart of South Africa's bushveld, Mawusi Bush Lodge is a tranquil retreat that offers both luxury and relaxation.
The lodge is situated in a private game reserve, which offers a unique and unforgettable experience. The complete immersion in nature, combined with the lodge's top-notch amenities, makes for an unforgettable stay. The lodge offers various accommodations such as the Luxury Suites, Executive Suites, and the self-catering Villa. We stayed in one of the self-catering Villas, which was perfect for us.
Our villa was clean, spacious, and had a stunning view of the bushveld. The villa had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, including a fully equipped kitchen, a lounge area with a fireplace, a dining area, and a private deck with a braai. This was great because we could have a family braai while taking in the beauty of our surroundings. The villa also had two bedrooms, each with their bathroom en suite, making it perfect for a family of four.
The lodge's facilities were impressive. The pool area was our favorite, with a large pool and a beautiful deck. This was the perfect spot for us to relax and enjoy the African sun. The lodge also had a beautiful garden area with a boma, where we enjoyed our dinners under the stars. The lodge also had a game room that was perfect for our girls to play during the hot afternoons.
Cathy and Rodney, the hosts, were absolutely amazing. They made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived until the day we left. They were friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic stay. They were always available to answer our questions and gave us some great recommendations on things to do and places to visit in the area. We felt like we were part of their family, and this made our stay even more special.
During our stay, we took part in some of the amazing activities that the lodge offers. One of our favorites was the game drive. We got to see some of the amazing creatures that call the reserve home, and our guide was incredibly knowledgeable. We also went on a fantastic bushwalk where we got up close and personal with some of the smaller creatures, such as insects and reptiles. The lodge also offers birdwatching, fishing, and spa treatments, which we didn't have time to try out, but I am sure they are equally great.
Overall, Mawusi Bush Lodge exceeded our expectations in every way possible. It was the perfect family getaway, and we had an unforgettable time. This was all thanks to Cathy and Rodney, who made our stay incredibly special. Their hospitality and warmth were unparalleled and made our stay that much better. We can't wait to come back to Mawusi Bush Lodge and experience all the lodge and the area have to offer.
If you are looking for a peaceful retreat that offers luxury and relaxation, Mawusi Bush Lodge is the place for you. The lodge is perfect for families, couples, or solo travelers who want to immerse themselves in nature and take in the beauty of Africa. A special thank you to Cathy and Rodney for making our stay unforgettable. We look forward to...

Whenever the bush calls again I will be back||My partner and I stayed for a 3 day weekend, after I stayed there with a colleague for business.
