Really an extraordinary experience in Maqueda lodge in Marloth park. Wonderful location and  comfortable. Rooms were extremely beautiful. Thanks to James and to all the staff for making our stay excellent great lunches and dinner especially the last evening with barbecue in the bush. Thanks to Evan (not sure if is correct… sorry) our driver in Kruger park. See you soon

Summer august 24

This is excellent accommodation. The staff are friendly and efficient. Nothing was too much trouble. We had morning and afternoon safaris and the guide was very knowledgeable and found some great viewing sites. I would stay here again and recommend it to friends and family.

A great stay

I can highly recommend this lodge and its staff. They are very service minded and possess great knowledge of the wild. Their guided jeep tours in the park run smoothly and take you to where there is the best chance of seeing the big wild animals

Amazing days in Kruger park

The team at the lodge was extremely professional and supportive. I wish I could have stayed longer! The surroundings are spectacular, the food very tasty and exquisit. Is there anything else I would have wished for: NO!

Great Energy with wonderful Team at perfect Location

It is hard to know where to start when describing the exceptional experience we had staying at the Maqueda Lodge. The welcoming atmosphere from the moment we arrived was genuine and exhibited throughout our entire stay. The tranquility and beauty of the lodge contributed to a wonderful stay. The meals were plentiful and delicious. Food was traditional to the region. Of course our reason for booking this lodge was to visit Kruger National Park. We were not disappointed. The animals and vistas truly something to see. The Lodge arranged a late afternoon evening game drive on the day of our arrival. It was a good introduction. This was followed by a delicious multiple course dinner upon our return. The attention to detail was meaningful to us as guests. For example, we are not tea or coffee drinkers and the next thing we knew hot chocolate was available at every meal. The next two days, we were up early for full day game drives with a very knowledgeable guide. The days were marvelous. We learned so much from the guide and saw so many different animals. Again meals were scrumptious. The lodge was so inviting. The room was large and furniture and design fit the setting. The large common spaces for eating and sitting real made you feel welcome and the decor was inviting. One of the dinners was a barbecue, outside in a beautiful spot with a fire in a fire pit on the lodge grounds.  The location is just a short drive to Kruger. There is also wild life here in Marloth Park where the lodge is located. A few things to know - Load shedding of electricity was a daily occurrence. The Lodge has a generator. As others stated - soap and shampoo was not provided. There was a hair dryer in the room. If you are looking for a place to stay with wonderful people, superb ambience, and delicious food this is the place to be. They arranged all the drives and took care of everything once we were at the lodge. Yoga was offered. We flew into Johannesburg and hired a guide to drive us 5 hours to the Lodge. The return drive was about 6 hours. Be sure and stop at the Azul Rest Stop for a bit of food and to see the Rhinos, etc. 

Amazing service, property and safaris

Wonderful experience of the African bush, warm and welcoming luxury. James and his team were excellent company, very knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble, we felt very much at home. Early morning games drives and bush walks were memorable. Looking forward to a return trip.

Maqueda Magic

The four of us, my husband and parents, were so lucky - we were the only guests at Maqueda Lodge for three days. So we got to enjoy all the attention of Michael and James and their fantastic cooking. The whole lodge is beautifully designed, especially the covered sitting and dining area, but the big difference from other beautiful accommodation was the people. On top, James and Michael provided us with all kinds of information, e.g. about the little five of Africa, and fetched a rhinoceros beetle from the garden as concrete visual material. Thank you and stay well!

Cosy environment and caring staff

Great location, cozy bedrooms. Food was good (including vegetarian). The safaris were incredible (James is a great guide!!).
We also did an extra bushwalk which is A experience. Overall I'll definitely stay there again!



100% recomend

My husband, 2 adult children and myself have just returned from a wonderful week at Maqueda Lodge.
Francois, the owner, welcomed us with opened arms and ensured that we were comfortable throughout our stay. Nothing was too much trouble. The lodge was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The shared spaces were peaceful and relaxing after returning from a full day Safari. The pool was freezing but certainly refreshing on a hot day.
The beds were comfortable and the wifi was good. We experienced "load shedding" while in South Africa however it didn't affect our stay or experience. The shower was hot although there was no shampoo or body wash provided. Pump hand soap was available which we used to wash our hair and bodies!
Meals were scrumptious. We only had one breakfast at the lodge as we were out on safaris on the other days. It was delicious and a great variety. The upstairs dining area was lovely.
Dinner was incredible. We were served a three course meal and every night was a different taste sensation. Lanterns were lit when dinner was served which gave a lovely ambience.
When we were out on our early morning safaris, or on the panoramic route, we were treated to a packed breakfast in our own Esky bag. Hot tea and plunger coffee was also served. This was enjoyed at a scenic location, watching animals while we ate.
James was our driver and ranger on the 3 full day safaris. He was so knowledgeable and listened to what experience we wanted. He was also very friendly, attentive and lovely. When he wasn't driving us around Kruger, he was serving meals or cleaning. Everyone worked so hard.
We booked 2 night safaris but after the first one we cancelled the second one and did another full day with James. The night safari was not through Maqueda Lodge but through Kruger NP. Rather than being in our small 9 seater vehicle, we were on a large 30 seater truck. When it got dark, half a dozen people were given spotlights to shine into the bush. It was very disappointing and we therefore saw very few animals. The driver didn't talk to us throughout the safari and, if they did, they were very hard to hear. I would not recommend doing this night safari. Unfortunately they are the only vehicles/people allowed in the park at night time.
The panoramic route was great. The views were amazing. The drive to the first waterfall was over 2 hours. It was then 2 hours driving back to Maqueda Lodge. The following morning we then drove the same way for 1.5 hours to the airport. I would recommend doing this trip either when you first arrive, prior to arriving at Maqueda Lodge, or at the end of your stay before flying out of Nelspruit airport as the area is close to the airport and would avoid travel time.
Thank you Maqueda Lodge for such a magical, memorable holiday with my family. You made us feel like we were part of your family. 
I would, and will be, recommending Maqueda Lodge to everyone considering visiting Kruger National Park.


Wonderful stay at Maqueda Lodge

Most awesome lodge setting, close to Kruger, authentic bush experience, luxurious and comfort, top service. Food was exceptional. Lounge area exquisite. Great venue for anyone which to Mountain bike in mare loth park, run the trails along the riverside and look out view, amazing walks.
