We had an experience in one of the luxury pool suites – so luxurious that it didn’t feel like we were in the bush at all. The suite features an air-conditioning and fan, electronic safe, gas fire-place, king size bed, minibar, private bathroom with bath and separate walk-in shower, rain amenities, sundowner deck, umbrellas, views of waterhole and bush, and more.

The private Villa at Mhondoro is a luxurious yet comfortable home-away-from-home, perfectly suited as exclusive family or group accommodation. The exclusivity of the Mhondoro Villa means that all meals and selected local drinks are included, and it comes with its own private pool, a private gym, spa and yoga room, as well as a private game viewing vehicle with ranger, a private chef, a private butler, and housekeeping staff.

The Mhondoro Villa is booked at a fixed price for one to four guests. Additional guests are charged per the specified surcharge per season. The Villa boasts a magnificent master suite and two additional bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms. To accommodate a bigger group, the adjacent family suite may also be booked with the villa, accommodating two adults and two children, to dine up to 10 guests in the Villa.

What impressed us the most about this luxurious, child-friendly lodge was its new underground waterhole hide connected to the main lodge by a tunnel, offering an easy, safe and above all an exceptional opportunity to be amongst the animals drinking at the waterhole in front of the lodge.

Mhondoro is family friendly yet private and quiet to accommodate small groups to relax and explore the abundantly present wildlife during game drives. For those who prefer to indulge in ultimate relaxation or work up some sweat, the spa and gym are at your disposal, including a team of qualified and experienced beauty therapists. The pool, bar and lounge are available for guests.
