MAHALA VIEW REVIEWS (78 %) Office getaway by Shirley Lombard, South Africa 29 October 2012 Ons het n fantastiese tyd saam met Leon en sy personeel geniet. Ons mis klaar die leeus se brul amazing plek. Sal die aanbeveel vir al my vriende. Mahala view lion camp by Lerato Msikinya, South Africa 01 July 2013 It is a peaceful environment. The kids were intrigued by the lions roar and sleeping so close to them excited them. KUIER IN DIE BOS TERWYL LEEUS BRUL by Forika Meissenheimer 12 November 2017 Ongelooflik verblyf met die brul van leeus deur die dag en nag terwyl ons hienas en jakkals ook gehoor het. Naby aan die Dinokeng natuurreservaat vir 'n dag se besoek. Die dek kan groter wees en die lapa se dek was stukkend. Kort 'n lig vir die braai. Met 'n bietjie werk het die plek baie potensiaal. Beddegoed en linne van goeie gehalte. The lions were the highlight by Beverley Van Den Heuvel 27 December 2017 We loved the view from the upper chalet - a lovely spot for a braai or sundowners or morning coffee. The top chalet is fully equipped except for a kitchen sink which would have come in handy. Although the dishes are taken away, washed and returned, sometimes you just need to rinse out a glass or a mug and a dishcloth is definitely a necessity. The downstairs chalet needs a fridge. The pool is a nice size and the bar area is very comfortably furnished and clean - the 1940s binoculars hanging up to see even more of the spectacular view is a nice touch! LOVED the lions and Leon is so knowledgeable about them - we were very impressed!

Hearing the Lions roaring at night by Sue Wood 14 May 2018 We loved our stay; loved having the lions so close. We also heard Jackals and Hyenas. We had a bush baby in our roof outside on the balcony which was very special. Great place for kids. Leons knowledge on lions is amazing. All the staff were wonderful. The roaring sounds of the lions by Robbie Corbett 27 May 2018 We were welcomed with the utmost humbelness and Daan and Leon were fantastic. The chalets are very neat and have everything you need to feel at home. We were mesmirised with a singing choir of lions, heyenas and jackals right around us from sunset to sunrise. We enjoyed the lecture presented by Leon van Biljon about the lions wereafter we were taken on a game drive and viewed all sorts of game and had a sundowner on the trip. I will defenitely come back to enjoy this all over again and will recommend this experience to all nature lovers. Thank you Daan and Leon for a fantastic weekend. The lions and Views by Ruan Jonker 19 July 2018 We were made to feel right at home with the friendly staff. Enjoyed our stay. The lions roaring at night by Hannes De Beer 17 August 2018 The staff and management were great and went out of their way to assist with special requests. The peace and tranquility of the area by Brent Andreka 28 August 2018 We had a lovely stay at Mahalaview. Daan and the staff were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The lodge has lovely views and we enjoyed hearing the nocturnal sounds, especially of the lions.
The room was basic but clean and tidy. The kitchenette was well equipped but a sink would have made it better.
We would stay there again. All night lion roars by Tshiamo Motema 05 September 2018 The best experience ever, lovely place Bush getaway by Sean Van Der Merwe 25 September 2018 It was a nice getaway for short duration. Not much to do and no TV in the room, which is ok if you expect and want that. Its not the most kitted out venue and facilities were basic. If you are expecting self-catering with a kitchen and a fair bit of space, then this is not for you. The walls/thatch roof do not stop sound, so you can hear your neighbours talking and visa versa. But if you are in the mood for camping but don't want to tread in dirt and have a bit more comfort then this is a good option. We had a geyser but no hot water in the shower. No aircon which would be a major problem in the mid summer. Hearing the lions roaring down below during the night made for a great bush atmosphere. Daan our host was very friendly and checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Take mozzie repellent even if its dry season! Them buggers are hungry! MAHALA VIEW LOCATION
