Mankele Adventures is an awesome all round family experience. The manager Shane and his staff really go out of their way to make your stay as memorable as possible. From the well appointed on site accommodations, to the best camping spots in the Lowveld, cycling, hiking, fishing and many more fun activities...Mankele is really your one stop adventure destination. We have been there many times and always look forward to returning for yet another great time. Thank You Mankele.

Having visited Mankele on 3 separate occasions, I can truly say it is an awesome venue for a weekend away.
Pack your mountain bike, a pair of tekkies and swimming costume...the kids are constantly entertained, having a variety of trails to cycle, these can also be hiked, spectacular views. The swimming pools are heavenly and staff are very helpful and friendly.
Going back in December, can not wait!!!!

This is, a great place to spend a day or a weekend getaway. Only about 25kms from Nelspruit. Great amenities for camping out with the kids.
Take your bicycles and have a great time on the bike trails. Absolutely safe for the kids, and if it gets too hot the pools are a welcome spot totske a dip and cool off.
The ablution blocks are clean and there's even hot water available. Much more I can tell you about, but you have go and see for yourself.
For the adventure lovers, this is a place you visit.

We arrive with great expectations, the manager met us at the gate and informed us that the trails are no longer maintained.
So sad. We cycled all around the region for a couple of days.
All the contour roads and forest roads were great, but any of the Mankele trails are completely un-rideable. Nothing to do with the rain as the manager had said, just simply zero maintenance and horribly overgrown.
The originally marked routes are evident and must have been amazing in their day, but the focus appears to have changed ( maybe management changed ) to more day visitors by the pool and the coffee shop.
The name needs to change. MTB Park is no longer an accurate description.

Mankele offers a wide variety of accommodation to suit every budget. From camping and tented camps, through to log cabins. A wide variety of activities includes mountain biking, hiking, sparkiling clean pools, gecko rafting, zip line, paintball, and fishing. There is a coffee shop available. Close to the Sudwala Caves and Dinosaur Park. Beautiful scenery, clean facilities and friendly staff! Only 30km from Nelspruit. Well worth a visit.

We camped during the 3 day stage race. The place was stunning! Camping sites were nice and clean. Bathrooms were spotless. Swimming pools well maintained. But the best was the cycling routes. Well marked with the most amazing scenery! An amazing experience

Wonderful nature but tough and challenging MTB routes. The service from Nkosinathi at the reception was great with good advice on the trips via MTB!

This is truly a fantastic mountain biking spot. We stayed at the nearby Sudwala Lodge and did 2 rides within the bike park. The trails are well sign-posted and managed, with something for everyone in terms of experience. Highly recommended for any mountain biker.
