“Marula Lodge”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 May 2012

person found this review helpful

Visited at the end of the wet season in April and had a fantastic trip. Game drives were brilliant -David was such a knowledgeable guide - and elephants, hippos and monkeys around the grounds just add to the atmosphere. Good home cooking and excellent friendly service from all the staff - we can't wait to go back.

Hi Thank you for visiting us in Mfuwe and for the great feedback. It is always lovely to have a family with such a keen interest in the wildlife and such a good eye for birds....over hundred species in just a couple of days, is our record! More

“Very homely and welcoming”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 April 2012

Marula lodge has a wonderful setting, which regularly sees large wildlife wandering through the grounds. Jenny and Mike could not have been more warm, welcoming and informative. The lodge has the feel of being in a family home and has all the facilities you could need. Excellent experience all round.

To cut it short, they sent a rescue team... More

A very friendly and hospitable place with a great team of helpful people led by Jenny and Mike. Marula is at the budget end of the price spectrum, but still has all the facilities you need for a comfortable stay. There is a difference between inexpensive and cheap and Marula gets it right. Our shower required a certain amount of... More

We stayed at Marula Lodge for 4 days. The location is wonderful, separated from the South Luanga Park only by a river, which many animals can cross. We saw elephants in the grounds several times, and a hippo once. The park has a wide spread of game, and we were lucky enough to see lions three times, and also three... More
