An oasis in the woods.
What a lovely place! Josie and her staff (Julia and Filimon) were amazing and perceptive. The place was neat and clean and with little surprises everywhere like biscuits and marshmallows. Even "loadshedding" was not an issue, with the generator kicking in immediately. We loved the peace and quiet and just sitting on the porch and relaxing after a long day of wildlife viewing in a vehicle. We watched many small game from the porch, grazing among the trees. The stars are amazing in the evenings and so clear. I would recommend Mananga to anyone who just wants to get away from the noise. 10/10 for this "Bush Retreat!".

Very cute place.
Had a great time. Beautiful place. There was just no hot water in the kitchen and the appliances in the kitchen could use some attention. Will definitely visit there again.

Beautiful location, neat, clean and a great treat.
Hear all the sounds (leis, hyenas, elephants) in the evenings. Everything is modern and there is comfort. It was hard to drive there, but they will see us again soon!

Tranquility for the soul.
The Villa at Mananga Bush Retreat exceeded all our requirements. Great location close to the Kruger Gate, comfortable accommodation, with WiFi and entertainment channels on the television. There is a fully equipped kitchen, with a choice between a gas grill and a hearth to grill on. Wild animals are constantly moving around the house, with a hyena now and then curiously looking around. The only shortcoming is that there is no swimming pool. Fortunately, the Proteahotel is just around the corner, with a swimming pool overlooking the Sabi River.

It's been a while since we got such good rest.
Thanks so much Jozie, Julia and Charles for spoiling us so much. All we did was sit, eat, sleep, rest, repeat. Mananga has a perfect location close to the Kruger gate if you want to visit without driving to far. The Protea Hotel is just a stone's throw away if you feel like spa treatments or if you don't want to cook. Their Bona meal is also recommended. There was almost an issue with the baboons, but Charles sorted it out. They just wanted some of Jozie's chocolates and Oreos. We will definitely be back.
