Earlier this week, I published a review of the incredible experience I had at Mhondoro Safari Lodge & Villa, located within the Welgevonden Game Reserve in the Waterberg.
If you haven't had a chance to read the review yet, do yourself a favour and check it out below.
Review: Mhondoro Safari Lodge & Villa
Since the review went live, Time Out Johannesburg has released a social media reel highlighting some of the amazing elements of what Mhondoro has to offer.
From Big 5 game viewing (the leopards let me down) to pure luxury accommodation, check out the reel below and live vicariously through me.

If you'd prefer not to live vicariously through some cool dude on the internet, you can check out the options for you to experience Mhondoro first-hand yourself here.
Waterberg safari bliss... without the mozzies
While the Lowveld of South Africa is seen as the pinnacle of the country's game viewing spots - Kruger National Park and all, the Waterberg is fast becoming a hot spot for Joburgers who want a quick bush getaway.
An added bonus is that the Waterberg region is malaria-free, which is a big win for families who may be a bit apprehensive of the mozzies in other areas of the country.
Another option for a Waterberg safari escape is Qwabi, which has two camps. You can read my review from 2025 of the adults-only camp here or all about Time Out Johannesburg's family-friendly visit here.
We love how the safari industry in the region is starting to cater more and more for families - and this is only going to strengthen the sector in the long run.
