  • 4 star rating  Overnight stay at Royal Thonga We had a pleasant overnight stay at Royal Thonga on our way to Southern Mozambique. The food was ok (dinner), reminded me of good old 'home cooked' meals like your... read more mother used to make for you, provided she is a good cook :) They have a lovely pool area to have drinks at and take a dip (was a bit cold for us) and a boma area to sit and have a drink or two at before and/or after dinner. The lodge staff were friendly, didn't see any managers. As it was our anniversary, we stayed in the 'honeymoon' room which is just the furthermost room from the main lodge otherwise, I think all the rooms are the same. The room was great, quiet, clean, spacious and nestled in the bushes with a lovely outside shower (also was too cold to try out by the time we arrived) and bathroom. We had to shower before the morning game drive and it was freezing but we survived! Would have been nice to have the option to shower after the game drive rather, before we left, but the generator is only on at set times. Also, the showers use gas to heat the water, which turned off every few minutes, so showering was an interesting experience as you had to turn the tap on and off to get hot water. Only having power twice a day is a bit limiting but it does add to the truly African experience. All in all, a lovely stay and a nice long game drive, seeing all the beautiful elephants was a treat! Will visit again, in Summer, and hopefully the big cats come out to play :) Thank-you Royal Thonga and staff for the lovely stay! read less

    4 star rating  Tembe trip The renovation has done wonders for this camp, this together with Wendy and her highly efficient friendly team, insured that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The accommodation is now comparable... read more with most upmarket game lodges. Game drives in the reserve, are a challenge whilst the bush and the trees are spectacular, seeing game is a problem. May help if the rangers from the two lodges were able to link via two way radio. However the birding is awesome and for this alone well worth a visit. read less

  • 5 star rating  Beautiful place to stay very near to the elephant park entrance We were here for two nights in the x-mas vacation with our teenager kids. We had a wonderful stay enjoying the big pool and the beautiful lounge dinner area... read more with comfortable sofa's and chairs and a bar. books to read, water tea and coffee, very friendly helpful owners . The entrance to the elephant park is around the corner and we did a nice organised gamedrive early one morning and saw a jaguar walking! The guide took a breakfast along which we enjoyed on a stop during the gamedrive ( in a look- out with a beautiful view- safe from wild animals). Two of us had a great massage at the Lodge.No wifi but I heard some guests used 3G on their cellphones for internet. The cabins are comfortable, luxurious and big. Tell them in advance if you want to jo read less

    5 star rating  True bush experience We stayed at Royal Thonga with our 3 year old twins for one night. Venue gives one a true bush experience with the chalets isolated from each other so you... read more truly feel like you are in the bush. Girls loved the wooden walkways through the indigenous bush which connect the chalets, dining area, pool etc. Staff were friendly and accommodating, meals tasty and wholesome, well stocked bar and the game drive was a highlight. The lodge shares a boundary with Tembe Elephant Park and has its own gate so once you get on the game drive vehicle you are basically in Tembe. Great sightings of elephant up close as well as a number of other species. We will most certainly visit again. More read less
