Our stay at Greenfire was over all expectations. We loved it!! Carol, Rose and Given, and all other staff were super lovely. Given was our tour guide and driver during the whole stay. He is the best. Very knowledgeable, so kind and guest friendly. Within 24h we had seen the big five - in very close view. We have learned so much about animals, trees/plants, birds and the life of SA. Our daughter said she learned more these days than in school. The whole setup was super nice. Wake up at 5am. First game play begin at 5.30. Back around 9-ish. Breakfast. Cold dishes buffet style, and eggs any style served a la carte. You are free to relax and rest between breakfast and lunch. We hang out by the pool and we also sat on the terrace and watched "bush tv". Lunch is served 2.30pm. Buffet style, delicious and very generous. Second game play is at 4pm. And it finishes at 7-8pm. Then the dinner is served. Every dinner was 3 course meal with an extra sorbet. Really really good! After dinner we went to sleep, and we slept so deep. Bar prices were so affordable, if not even cheap. After the first safari and night, our 12 years old daughter went from reluctant to even travel to SA, to she wanted to come back and stay at Greenfire. We're telling all our friends to go and stay in Greenfiire, it's a fantastic experience. And their location is great too. Just in front of a river bed. You are seeing a lot of elephants and buffaloes, hyenas walking past the room. Our next trip will be to Greenfires other lodge in Namibia desert. And during New Year's eve and day we were served a lot of bubbly. Amazing and big-hearted.

My boyfriend and I stayed for 2 nights and it was simply incredible! The care and attention to detail were something I hadn’t experienced in a long time. They were always making sure we had the best experience possible. We arrived late, and even so, they prepared a special lunch just for us. The bed was super comfortable, and the thoughtful touch of leaving hot water bottles made everything even more special. There are 2 game drives per day, and we were able to see the animals really up close, with guides who were so attentive and passionate about what they do. I must give a special thanks to Tamara, who was always so helpful and even assisted me in recovering my jacket that I had forgotten at the lodge. I highly recommend it with my eyes closed! An excellent place to stay — just book it and enjoy the best safari!

We had an amazing time at Milima. Everything was perfectly organized and taken care of down to the smallest detail. The location is stunning, even more beautiful than the photos. It's truly special to watch the wildlife at the waterhole right from your breakfast table or poolside lounger. But what made our stay truly unforgettable were the game drives with Thomas! Thomas is an incredible guide who knows everything about the animals and nature, and he goes above and beyond to make the experience as special as possible for his guests. Thank you so much! #teamthomas

My husband and I spent 3 amazing days there. The place and our room were so quiet and peaceful, all the meals were perfect and also loved our routine there. Our game drive guide Nial was amazing, friendly and gave us full of information about the animals we found, gave us space to take as many photos as we wanted. We also loved Audrey, she was so kind and attentive, always making sure we were comfortable. The whole staff truly made a huge different in our stay at Muweti. Thank you all!

We were the only guests, and were given a free upgrade to the chalet with private pool. The host and gardener were also very kind and helpful. We greatly enjoyed spotting smaller wildlife from the hide out during the sunset and sunrise, and the peace and quiet of the stay. During the night we were visited by a honey badger twice that tried to get into the cupboards and fridge, some excitement for sure!

Incredible location well located in Hoedspruit! Ruan and his family (owners of the lodge) were super welcoming and so friendly. They let their home become ours which was a very personal touch! Would highly recommend!

We can recommend this accommodation 1000%. Nothing is missing, it is pure luxury! We have traveled all over the world but have never experienced anything so great like this. The hosts will do everything possible to make you happy. The best wines are available. If you want, you can also sleep under the stars. The daily breakfast is a work of art that the hostess prepares herself. The entire complex is decorated with a lot of love down to the smallest detail. If you want to feel like a superstar, you should definitely book here. We can only say thank you very much and hope to come back again.
