Review from May 14, 2023 - Trip Advisor
10+ experience!! This was as close to heaven as you can get after 10 days of volunteering with C.A.R.E. Tyler and his mother Tracey are the best host. She’s an amazing cook and really caters to all your needs and requests and he’s a very knowledgeable guide and provides so much information on animals. We spent 2 full days in Kruger without ever seeing a large predator but saw a lioness at the drinking hole as we ate breakfast on our last day. 10+ service; highly recommend for anyone wanting a royal experience!!

Review from May 17, 2023 Trip Adivsor
Amazing in every way!! Can’t say enough about this cozy, charming lodge. Tracey and Tyler were such gracious hosts tailoring to our very need , right down to the delicious chocolates on our pillows to end the day. The food was delicious and variety was fantastic. Loved the watering hole in the back where you have a chance to see all the wild animals. We got to see a female lion the morning we left, which was icing on the cake.The rooms were so nice with very comfortable beds and pillows. Everything was so clean and tidy. The decor was exactly what I wanted to see which included amazing African art.Tracey and Tyler made this place a home away from home. Such lovely human beings as well!!I would highly recommend this place You will not be disappointed!!

What a way to end 2020. Mutsami private bush lodge is the ideal place to visit. With room facilities that are very comfortable and surroundings that give you tranquility. The team (Tracy, Justin, Tyler and Justine) at Mutsami did a great job taking care of me and my sister. We enjoyed the game drive ending by the Oliphants rivier, seeing the wild, great food and the extra activities the lodge offers. We will most definitely visit again. Experience well worth it.

Review 19 Sep 2020
The most incredible stay and experience. We were so well looked after. Tracy, Justin and everyone else are the best hosts I have ever met. They make sure you are well looked after and are the kindest. Delicious 5 star food, with homemade bread rolls and biscuits. Very very clean. The place is situated so so close to a watering hole, where you can sit back and watch wildlife at any time of day. The game drives are stunning and affordable. You can have sundowners across the river, while watching hippos in the distance. There is also a pool at the lodge so you can swim and watch wildlife at the same time. Overall, I couldn’t recommend Mutsami Private Bush Lodge enough!!

I stayed 2 nights for a quick business trip in the area and with such easy access and very accommodating staff the stay was perfect. An extra night to sit and relax would have been a good idea but the quiet evenings were great.

Mutsami Private lodge is home from home, the best welcoming ever. Tracy was a excellent hostess with hubby Justin. the environment was tranquil. Tastefully decorated. Homemade breakfast and dinner was exceptional thank you to the finest chef Justine. Tyla who was always around making us feel comfortable at all times. Excellent value for money. Absolutely worth every cent plus the most comfortable bed you can wish for. We saw some lovely game roaming very close to the lodge.

My husband and I with our 14 year old son love to travel South Africa. Recently we stayed at Mutsami Lodge situated in the Limpopo Province, what an amazing find, we cant wait to return for another holiday. Justin and Tracy were wonderful hosts, new exactly how to make us feel right at home. The food was great, the facilities were modern and clean. Very important, the beds are comfortable! Everything was just perfect! And the best for last, THE VIEW is incredible! The wildlife experience was more than what we had hoped for, we saw the full big five and much more. But nothing compared to the morning coffee while watching the elephants play in our pajama's. The privacy Mutsami offers is perfect for a family or romantic getaway! We cant wait to book another trip next year! Absolute value for money!
