"Breathtaking."

The drive on the dirt road to Bona Ntaba was a bit bumpy, but bear in mind I drove there in a sports car. When I got there, I was welcomed to the lodge by the owner and he made us feel at home immediately. He introduced us to the lodge's cleaner and then he gave us a lot of information about what to do in the area. At his other lodge he has 2 white lions and you can then make a reservation to go for a walk with him and the 3 and a half year old lions. If you want to make a bucket list, put it as your first or last, but you should definitely do it. The treehouses are super clean and built high up in the treetops. What a breathtaking view. The outdoor shower was something special for me and the children. Beautiful scenery. We were there in the winter and will go again in the winter. Lots of wildlife visiting the pool. We were the only guests at Bona Ntaba for the time of year. You will not get so close to our Heavenly creator's natural beauty. There are so many sightseeing spots in a radius of 40 km in our six days we couldn't get to all. To name a few is the Mohololo Endangered Species facility which is another must for one and all. The boat cruise on the Blyde River Canyon. Visit to Hoedspruit's endangered species facility. There you drive around in open vehicles among wild animals that are severely endangered. After such a day's excursion, it is really something to look forward to arriving at the lodge again. Temperature during the day was a nice 24 to 28 degrees and at night it dropped to about 14 degrees. In the evening when the wood fire starts to chatter like that and the day stops and you sit on the wooden deck, you lose yourself in the breathtakingly beautiful place and you don't want to go back home. The beautiful swimming pool on the deck even in winter allowed us to cool off and watch the giraffes and wild animals come to drink water at the water hole. The lodge and the houses are cleaned daily, as well as your boma. The housekeeper is very thorough in her aim to keep everything neat and clean. The worst part of Bona Ntaba was coming back home. But beyond that, Bona Ntaba deserves all that a star can get. Would I go again? Yes, definitely, but this time longer and more prepared. Remember to get firewood in Hoedspruit, as well as everything you will need to eat and drink. There are no shops closer than 25 km. But if you come prepared you won't want to leave until your last day has arrived. And then the highlight: on our departure day we went to visit Jessica, the manatee, on the other side of Hoedspruit. If you don't have it on your bucket list, put it on that too. We hand fed her again. The children could kiss her on her nose and sit on her with their bare feet. What an experience. The owner of Bona Ntaba has created here for our visitors a piece of paradise that makes a break from the city a must. I have never been so close to my creator's creations of natural beauty. You deserve only the best review of a lodge so beautiful, words cannot describe it. It's a must-see and must-stay experience. I will be back again next winter.
