Our overall experience was great. It was a family holiday with our 4 month old baby and it did not feel stressful at all. The family room was really nice and spacious and was able to accommodate our mobile cot and the there was a tub which was great bath our little one. The food at the restaurant blew our expectations and we were pleasantly surprised that lunch was also included in our package. The restaurant staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The game drives were really good and we saw quite a bit of Game, however it felt like some of the rangers weren’t very clued up on the park and just relied on radio comms to take guest to a sighting. Providing a bit more info on the park, bird life, fauna and flora etc of the area would have been nice to complete the overall experience ##### Linton Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lizel Mar 19, 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort The staff, catering, and game drives were exceptional. The game drives, in particular, stood out; Erin was the best game ranger we've ever had the pleasure of accompanying, making our stay truly memorable. However, the accommodation does not meet the expectations of a 4-star rating. While the bed was comfortable, the bathroom urgently requires an upgrade. The shower was unclean, and the fittings were significantly rusted—an issue that does not necessitate a full renovation to address. Additionally, the lack of 2-point plugs for charging devices is a noticeable inconvenience, especially since this is a basic amenity. Unfortunately, the current state of the accommodations does not justify the high rates charged. ##### Lizel Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark Oct 20, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Mongena went the extra mile and beyond I initially booked the Barnhouse, but didn't realize the Barnhouse is about a 15 minute drive from the main lodge area. We were planning to eat our meals at the lodge's Kingfisher restaurant, but we had to rely on the rangers to take us from the Barnhouse to the main lodge area, as there is no self-driving permitted. The Barnhouse is really nice and it's perfect if you're looking for a secluded place and plan to cook or barbecue for most of your meals, but I was expecting it to be within walking distance of the restaurant, so it wasn't what I was expecting. We hadn't brought much food, so we were really hungry that first day. Once we got to the restaurant and had a meal, we were in a much better mood, and it helped that we were served by a wonderful waiter named Isaac. The next day was a Monday, and the front desk was aware that the Barnhouse wasn't ideal for us, so fortunately they had a vacancy at the main lodge and put us in a two-story cottage that was perfect for us. During our three-night stay, we did two morning tours and one evening tour with ranger Matt who was very knowledgeable and kept the conversation lively. Matt also took our two sons along to feed animals near the reception area. After posting pictures of the animals we saw during our tours on my Facebook page, my friends from other parts of the world mentioned they loved seeing animals that they typically only see in a zoo, and some are now motivated to come to Africa! ##### Mark Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Petro Feb 8, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort It was a great weekend with friends.

There are zebras grazing all over the property, at breakfast, by the pool. Dinner at the hotel restaurant as very nice, I was on my own and the staff took excellent care of me. Very good breakfast buffet too. The highlight was the game drive/safari the hotel operates. Maybe I was lucky, but an elephant came right up to us, and then took a bath in the lake just in front of us. Magical experience. Also saw a giraffe, lions and rhinos from a little further away. Nice wine tasting on the tour, very knowledgeable staff, stunning sunset. Highly recommended. ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Andrew Jan 17, 2017 #### Great quick getaway from Pretoria Hotel was nice but could be much better with little things. The Manager was wonderful. And the food in the restaurant was delicious -both dinner and breakfast. Order the ostrich steak for dinner! A few minor complaints -- nobody told us that we needed to book game drives in advance, but we learned when we arrived that anyone (not just hotel guests) can book game drives. The Manager worked it out for us. The next morning we got up early for a game drive and then proceeded to wait for non-hotel guests to arrive. Eventually we went out without the others and were tracking a lion when the non-hotel guests decided to arrive. We had to turn back to get them and we didn't get to see the lion. Even the tracker was disappointed. I get it that the hotel makes more money with a full vehicle, but come on! The game drives were pleasant. Over two game drives, we say elephant, rhino (I spotted them, not the guide or tracker!), giraffe, hippos, and many other animals. The honeymoon suite is large, but a bit dated. It's also right next to the restaurant so people are walking by constantly. I still liked it, though! The standard rooms and family rooms are quite nice. I would highly recommend this hotel, but it needs to pay slightly greater attention to customer service details (like offering to have someone assist with bags). ##### Andrew ### 2/10 Terrible #### JACOB Jan 2, 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort there was no booking ##### JACOB ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marlene Dec 21, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Montana Game Lodge, the staff and Marina especially are awesome!

The check-in process was efficient - we booked a family suite and a game drive ahead of time, both of which were confirmed on arrival. The family suite consists of a master bedroom downstairs, together with a separate bath/shower and toilet. Upstairs is another bedroom with twin beds. The rooms are air conditioned, which is an absolute must in the summer months. The grounds are well kept - and there are zebras and deer roaming around the chalets, which is quite a treat for the kids. There is a pool on the property but, on a hot day, expect to have lots of other guests keeping you company. We booked a game drive for the afternoon - in an open-side vehicle. The guides were very knowledgeable and friendly, the entire trip taking approximately 2.5 hours. We saw 2 of the Big 5 as well as a host of other animals - this is a well stocked area so expect to see plenty! There is also a stop for sun-downers at a picnic spot overlooking the dam - very picturesque and worth a few snaps. We booked dinner at the Kingfisher restaurant - great location overlooking a smaller dam, complete with a crocodile in the water below. Food was uniformly average, not bad just not particularly good. Venison was over-cooked. Service was attentive.Breakfast the next morning was standard hotel fare, with a few too many flies for comfort. ##### Mergandran ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Oct 3, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Vk16 Door omstandigheden was er geen plaats in de lodge maar was 500 meter verderop accommodatie geregeld.

My stay was FANTABULOUS!!!! Service AND food was IMPECCABLE ##### Cynthia ### 10/10 Excellent #### Terje, Norway Feb 26, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Extraordinary This is simply a fantastic place to spend a few days in the bush. With zebras and nyalas grazing on the lawn you feel that you have come to a place that is out of this world. The lodge itself is top quality; not least the bathroom (spotless). Having lunch and dinner at Kingfisher is also very special while watching the crocodile in the pool underneath. The only negative thing to say is that it took a while to get the food the second day. We only saw two of the Big Five during our 2-day visit (elephant and buffalo), but a visit at Mongena will never fail because of the beauty of the place. Staff were very helpful; I must highlight in particular the rangers who came and pulled us out of the mud when we (shamefully) got stuck with our car. Will definitely try to come back some other time. ##### Terje ### 8/10 Good #### Lee Jan 2, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Room comfort #### Relaxing in South Africa We arrived early but we're able to use the nice sized pool and enjoy the free roaming zebras. Mongena was very quiet, very relaxing. Our children, 6 & 9, enjoyed the pool, the safari, and near by monkey zoo(where we playing with baby lions and tigers). The food in the Kingfisher restaurant was wonderful and very well priced. The staff was kind and very helpful. The Rangers, Rainn and Gavin, were knowledgeable and informative. Ms. Mary at the front desk was very helpful. The only bad part of trip was that we were bitten in our sleep by many bugs even though we used tons of bug spray. The family cabin had an upstairs, where the children were to sleep, but it was so hot because the one compact A/C downstairs did nothing for the summer African heat. When we go back, it will be in fall or spring or maybe even winter. All in all, Mongena was a wonderful place to stay, learn, and relax! ##### Lee ### 8/10 Good #### Elisabetta Sep 14, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Mi aspettavo qualcosa di meglio. ... La scelta di questo lodge è stata dettata dalla necessità di essere vicini all'aeroporto di Johannesburg e fin lì tutto è stato ok. Per il resto devo dire che mi aspettavo molto di piu:la camera è relativamente piccola e soprattutto il bagno non è all'altezza della situazione con una doccia piccola e non molto confortevole. L'accoglienza alla reception è stata a dir poco essenziale, fredda e sbrigativa e il check out ancora di più !! Il servizio wifi esiste solo nella zona della reception e non è costante. Avevo bisogno di stampare le carte d'imbarco per il volo di ritorno e non c'è stata nessuna possibilità di riuscire a stampare! Il ristorante propone un buon menu di buon livello ma è così triste con i suoi tavolini di plastica e le sedie così scomode!!! Unici punti a favore sono sicuramente la colazione varia e abbondante e la compagnia di nyala e zebre sul prato intorno alle camere, ma il rapporto qualità/prezzo non mi invoglia sicuramente a ritornare in questa struttura. ##### Elisabetta ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert, Auckland Jan 12, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Mongena stay Dec 2014 We had a wonderful stay. The staff were attentive,friendly and the game drives were amazing with very informative guides. We saw all except for lepard of the big 5 including a Cheetah kill being eaten. It was clean and comfortable and the animals around the camp were lovely to watch. We saw a crocodile in the dam at the camp restaurant and if available order the sole fish, on the menu was of the best we'd ever eaten. ##### Robert ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Nov 30, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Nov 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Round Hill Hotel And Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Round-Hill-Hotel-And-Villas.h447089.Hotel-Information) > > [Playa Los Arcos Resort & Spa All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Vallarta-Hotels-Playa-Los-Arcos-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h20266104.Hotel-Information) > > [Costa Hollywood Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Costa-Hollywood-Beach-Resort.h22213742.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels.d178314.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Honeymoon Resorts and Hotels in Hawaii](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Hawaii-Honeymoon-Hotels.0-0-d213-tHoneymoonHotels.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) ### Flights > [Flights from Los Angeles (LAX) to Honolulu (HNL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/lax/hnl/los-angeles-to-honolulu) > > [Flights from Saskatoon (YXE) to San Juan (SJU)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxe/sju/saskatoon-to-san-juan) > > [Flights from Manila (MNL) to Narita (NRT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mnl/nrt/manila-to-tokyo) > > [Flights from Seattle (SEA) to Jeddah (JED)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/sea/jed/seattle-to-jeddah) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Les Abymes (PTP)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ptp/toronto-to-pointe-a-pitre) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Paris (CDG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/cdg/toronto-to-paris) > > [Flights from Bari (BRI) to Konavle (DBV)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bri/dbv/bari-to-dubrovnik) > > [Flights from Regina (YQR) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqr/yyc/regina-to-calgary) > > [WestJet Toronto (YYZ) to Montreal (YUL) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/westjet-from-pearson-intl-to-pierre-elliott-trudeau-intl/ws/yyz/yul) > > [Flights from London (YXU) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxu/yyc/london-to-calgary) > > [Air India](https://www.expedia.ca/Air-India-Flights.cAI.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Alberta (YQL) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yql/yyc/lethbridge-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Bengaluru (BLR) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/blr/yyc/bengaluru-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Pearson Intl. to NYC-All Airports](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/nyc/toronto-to-new-york) ### Cars ### Cruise ### Activities > [Things to do in Burlington](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Burlington.d7149.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Mexico](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/117/Mexico) > > [Washington Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Washington.d178318.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Bahamas](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/13/Bahamas) ### Vacation Rentals
