Moholoholo Forest Camp — Hotel in Maruleng Local Municipality

Pros: the camp itself was lovely as we had a great lodge (no.10) where wildlife would walk just in front.

The schedule which we had from Secret Escapes was not followed at all and we were not provided the morning game drive and the afternoon game drive with the evening bush braai. ||We were taken to their self-catering sister camp, Ya Mati where several issues occurred (room which was in the shade all day so we got no sun unless we were in the bathroom area; flies in the kitchen; washing up our dinner plates when when we had paid for full board; place closing up at 4pm everyday; being the only guests in the place when all other guests were transferred back to Moholoholo Forest Camp; very poor communication all round).||What should have been a great holiday, ended up being very, very disappointing and not as advertised (false advertising by...

We have just had a wonderful experience here as part of our holiday via Secret escapes. The lodges are set in a peaceful forest where you are met daily by Vervet monkeys, baboons and many of the antelope that are in the forest. The guides we had on our visit went above and beyond. |Both Hiro and Marcus made us feel very welcomed and their knowledge is exceptional when it comes to the wildlife and the area. The reserve also has many other animals such as Giraffe , Zebras, Maribu Storks, Vultures, many other species of birds and lots of butterflies.|We spotted many of these on the guided tours they provide with you stay and around the lodge.|Hiro and Marcus really did make our trip as they also were there at most mealtimes assisting with the service which again was excellent. The food that was prepared was very nice and plentiful. The lodges are really nice, large comfortable beds with both baths and showered and facilities to make drinks. The terraces of the lodges are set to take in the beautiful forest and all the birds and animals.|I can’t recommend this place enough, the staff and the animals truly make this a wonderful experience.|The reserve also has an animal rehabilitation centre which is definitely worth a visit, the work they do is excellent and there are many wonderful animals to see including big cats!|Brian and Sarah,...

The lodges are really nice, large comfortable beds with both a bath and a shower along with brewing facilities to make drinks and a fridge.

I can’t recommend this place enough, the staff and the animals truly make this a wonderful experience.
