Safari Moon Luxury Bush Lodge

Just had an amazing stay at Safari Moon Luxury Bush Lodge in Hoedspruit! The moment I walked in, I knew we'd made the right call. The staff's warm welcome and the inviting atmosphere instantly made me feel at home. I got to experience two different rooms during my stay - the Leopard Room and then the Full Moon Suite (their presidential suite). Both were gorgeous! The Full Moon Suite was absolutely stunning and really showed what luxury bush living can be. The food was a highlight for sure. Chef Control and Chef Sizwe are doing something special in that kitchen. That gourmet burger Chef Sizwe made when I first arrived? It set the tone for all the delicious meals that followed. Got to give a special shoutout to our waiter Rowan, who was basically the master of everything - always there when we needed something and just made everything run smoothly. Melinda, the front of house manager, was fantastic too. She gave us great recommendations for things to do and places to check out in the area. The lodge itself is beautiful and really well-kept. Everything just feels right - it's luxurious but still has that authentic bush feel. You can tell they put thought into making sure guests are comfortable while keeping the natural surroundings in mind. If you're heading to Hoedspruit and want a memorable bush experience, this place is worth checking out. The staff, the food, the rooms - everything just came together to make our stay special. Quick tips: - Make sure to try both Chef Control and Chef Sizwe's cooking - The Full Moon Suite is worth the splurge if you want something extra special - Ask Melinda for recommendations - she knows her stuff - Take some time to just chill and enjoy the lodge itself Really had a great time here - definitely exceeded what I was expecting! Thank you team, LeloB

Fantastic small luxury hotel with very friendly staff and personal service. Fantastic food. Great location for visiting the attractions of the Hoedspruit area, especially if you have a car. Self-drive safaris around the wildlife estate are highly reccomended - start and stop whenever you please; see giraffe, impala and other antelopes, baboons, zebra and a variety of birds around the pools.

Wow! Staying at the Safari Moon was an amazing experience! It is like staying as an honored guest at a luxurious private home. There are only 7-8 beautiful and large en suite rooms (if that) and we were the only ones during our off-season stay. The staff is exceptional - so polite, so accommodating, so eager-to-please. Our meals were delicious and beautiful, served in a delightful open-air dining room and/or packed to eat on safari. Staff always checked with our 7-year-old before dinner to be sure she had something she wanted to eat. Outstanding bar. We saw Kudu and Warthogs roaming just outside the premises. This is NOT the Four Seasons, so don't expect that, but it is a totally 5-star luxury experience.

Had such a wonderful stay for my birthday 😅 it has a calm atmosphere. Seeing springboks and warthogs right outside our door was a treat too

The place is marvellously beautify . Brenda was very welcoming and made us comfortable . Chef Anthony gave us the best food experience and service. The rooms were very clean at all times . Overall. It is a proper 5 star .
