What a paradise! We loved every minute at Maninghi Lodge. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like kings and queens by Paul, Victoria, and the wonderful staff. We felt our stress just melted away. It is truly a beautiful setting. The river, the breeze, the animals .... everything is magical. We saw lots of animals right in front of the lodge - hippos, monkeys, waterboks, warhogs, elephants.... The game drives are also amazing. Paul is an extremely experienced safari guide. We particularly loved the sundown drinks with all the animals roaming around us. The food was so delicious. From breakfast to dinner, every meal was prepared with care. We loved the traditional potjie dinner and the wonderful open fire BBQ. Paul and Victoria went out of their way to make sure that our every needs were satisfied.

Every single staff member was amazing. They were so professional, welcoming, and just good at their jobs. Special shout out to Bianca, the chef. Awesome food with impressive presentation. Also, shout out to Lee Ann, the general manager but most important to us, the game trail guide. Her expertise is unbelievable. Masodini is a must see and experience. If I could rate it higher than five stars, I would.

Dear African Flair Team, My wife and I recently had the pleasure of staying at African Flair, and we wanted to express our heartfelt gratitude for the wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, our host went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. She meticulously planned all our trips, making our time in the area absolutely hassle-free. Her personal touch truly made a difference, especially when she kindly lent me her own binoculars for our safari activities. This thoughtful gesture enhanced our experience tremendously. We also appreciated the convenience of the breakfast baskets, which allowed us to enjoy delicious meals even with our early starts. The Bohemian decor of the lodge added a unique charm to our stay, making it both cozy and visually appealing. The romantic dinner our host arranged was a highlight of our trip. The beautiful decoration and intimate setting created a memorable evening for us. To top it all off, the lodge's unique location allowed us to experience wildlife up close, as we had the amazing opportunity to encounter a duiker and even a giraffe right at the lodge! Additionally, the lodge's location is very close to Hoedspruit airport and many reserves, making it an ideal place to stay. On the last day of our stay, we had a luxurious breakfast at the lodge, adding a touch of elegance to our experience. Overall, the value for money at African Flair is exceptional. The attentive service and the host's dedication to planning everything for us made our stay truly special. We highly recommend African Flair to anyone looking for an stress-free and delightful experience. We will definitely choose to stay here again. Warm regards,

I travel a lot. To say that Naledi Lodges exceeded m expectations would be an understatement. Everything there - checking us in, getting our bags to our rooms, the staff greeting us every time we returned from a Safari, the food and drink, our guides, etc., - everything was well thought out and first class!

The lodge is really comfortable but the best part is the people who work there. The staff is really kind and they managed to give us the best experience, the food was great. It was our first Safari in a game reserve and we saw the big 5 and so much more. The guides are awesome, Sydwell and Vuyani! Thank you

Beautiful setting, overlooking the Olifants River, very peaceful. Excellent game drives, good meals, and incredibly friendly, cheerful staff. Of the 3 lodges we stayed at in Greater Kruger, this was our favorite. A small-scale operation, efficiently run. Wonderful overall feeling.

beautiful property and well maintained. Staff was wonderful and exceeded our expectations. We stayed at another lodge called Jabulani Safari which was far inferior to Pondoro. Stay at Pondoro, avoid Jabulani!
