Beautiful camping sites, friendly staff and clean and big ablutions! Animals roam around the campsite and fire by reception

Must visit. Lovely place. Great ambience. I waz lucky to see their night dance events and it was way too beautiful and a lovely memory. People were so nice. Food was amazing. So many animals i have seen. There was no big 5s but i was happy with the zebras,deers ,roans, kudus impalas and many more animals. Hut was good too. Power bank is a must and a universal adapter is recommended to charge your devices. Overall good experience.

C est quand même pas la plus incroyable des réserves, il est possible de faire du vélo dans la réserve c est le truc un peu fun

This place puts you in the center of nature, waking up next to animals. We have been able to walk among wildlife and do very nice hikes (biking and horse riding available). The guides and other members of staff are extremely helpful and above any kindness. The center is well located. Note: don’t expect any hippo as they have been sent to another location for security reasons

Wir haben nicht übernachtet, sondern Mlilwane als Tagesgäste besucht. Es gibt genügend Parkplätze, ein Souvenirgeschäft und Lebensmittel. Man kann zudem Velos und Pferde mieten. Es gibt verschieden lange Wanderungen (1km, 4km, 7km...), die durch die Guides erklärt werden und die man dann selbständig machen kann. Es ist ein tolles Erlebnis, den heimischen Tieren zu Fuss zu begegnen (Zebras, Antilopen, Affen, Vögel...). Die Ausschilderung der Wanderungen ist allerdings nicht so super - obwohl wir geübte Wanderer sind, haben wir uns mehrfach verlaufen. War trotzdem eine nette Erfahrung.

A great small wild life reserve with non dangerous wildlife. There a different lodgings available + camping. Our favourite were the beehive huts. Lots of activities you can book. Very suitable for families with (younger) kids

A great outing, the horse ride is a have to. The scenery is breath taking and wildlife all over. Restaurant has great sandwiches. Take along a loaf of bread or two to feed the fish and turtles at the Restaurant, its a spectacular view as they jostle to get to the bread first.

Absolutely Fabulous. HIGHLY recommended!

It was fabulous to discover this game sanctuary on horseback, during our two hour guided tour by Madja/Maja. He was very happy and knowledgeable, learned us a lot about the environment and animals. It was an experience to never forget!

We did a self-drive with my family. We spotted tons of Zebra, Wildebees, Warthog, Impala, Springbok, Crocodiles

Great place to stay and the trails are amazing.

We just stayed in the Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary for one night but really enjoyed our stay! We slept in one of the Beehive Villages and really liked the accommodation! The furniture is spartan but there is everything you need inside the hut. The bathroom was clean and the shower was hot. We didn't eat in the restaurant so I can't say something concerning the food. We really liked the sanctuary due to the fact that you can discover everything by foot. We did a nice walk in the morning and saw lots of zebras, impalas, a colourful chameleon and even really large crocodiles. We searched for hippos but couldn't find any. The atmosphere in the camp is really nice, especially in the evening at the campfire. You sit there next to warthogs that sleep next to the warm fire. A great experience! We can highly recommend a visit of Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary!

I was not happy about that we paid R80 each at the gate, when we were inside we were told to buy WIFI voucher. It was the first time hearing about paying for WiFi. The place is big, the toilets are clean. Though the animals looked hungry and not happy. I am not sure if the hair was shaved or the conditions they living at caused the hair to get removed.

Excelent place to spend a Sunday with the family. There is plenty of wildlife to see, and there are many activities such as hiking, horse rides, bike rides, restaurants and also you can self cater 8f you bring your own food. The staff and friendly and well trained

A lovely outing for the family to experience the beauty of nature. The roads are easy to drive. Some parts to the view points require a 4x4 though. There aren’t any big animals so be prepared to mainly see buck. Stunning scenery though. The roads could be a little better signposted. R80 entrance fee per person.

Solo female traveler: I visited Mlilwane as a day visitor. I was in Mbabane for work without a car so arrived via taxi which is doable. I highly recommend the visit and wish I had had more time here. The staff were really great and helpful and there was lots of variety of things to do (MTB, trail ride, walk etc ). I did a 2 hour hike around the lower, flatter part of the park. The trail was well marked and I felt totally comfortable as a solo hiker but wished i had either more time or a car to get to the more challenging trails. If I had had more time I would have combined this trail with some of the more challenging that get you higher up with more views over the valley. Facilities were nice and well taken care of and while I didn't eat there the restaurant seemed like a lovely post hike spot. Overall highly recommend making this part of your visit to this part of Eswatini. Thank you Mlilwane staff.

The most stunning place to have a picnic with family and friends in Eswatini while watching wild animals and cooling off in the swimming pool. Mliwane offers beautiful scenery and fun activities to enjoy your stay, such as horse riding, bike riding, game drive, etc. Note that alcohol beverages are not allowed at the picnic area. I will definitely visit again, loved it😍

We hebben hier 2 nachten overnacht en wij houden van deze plaats. Heerlijk rustig, mooie omgeving, vrij toegankelijk park waar je kan fietsen, lopen, Game Driven, noem het maar op. Restaurant bood ontbijt- en diner buffet aan wat simpel maar goed is. Lunchkaart is beperkt, maar goed. De betaalautomaten lieten het nog wel eens afweten, dus zorg voor cash geld. Campingplaatsen groot genoeg en sanitair is goed.

We spend the night in a rondavel here. The rooms were good and the staff was nice. The food (especially the dinner) was not that diverse and not many choices. Also wasn't the best quality. Also no service (which is fine) but make sure you have cash because you can't always pay with card. We did do the mountainbike guided tour which was amazing, with a lot of good information.

Went for a midweek Sunday to Wednesday break. 8th visit since 2007. Good everytime.

Mlilwane is not a prime wildlife viewing destination. （such as big 5)The some of the key species are kept in an enclosure, making it easy to find the animals. Wildlife to be seen include crocodile, zebra, wildebeest, kudu, nyala, bushbuck, roan antelope, oribi, red hartebeest and impala,reedbuck, warthog…In addition to watching animals, here you can choose from horseback riding, cycling, dining in restaurants, swimming or bird watching, hiking and other activities.

First mini safari and it was really interesting. Saw all kinds of wildlife. No prey tho - for anyone expecting lions and such. Their are crocodiles. The camp is awesome to grab lunch in and watch the wildlife come through. Literally saw warthogs and several other types come through the camp. One warthog was probably five feet from me. The camp does horse rides. I was too chubby to ride but my GF wasn't so they did the horse tour and she loved it. Would recommend!

We toke the hippo trial and it was fantastic if you want 6-7 km that it not easy in lovely changing surroundings

A small but nice public game park. We did horse riding with the guide Majesty. Het was very knowledgeable, patient and knew a lot about the animals. A great horserider himself. A must do when you are in Lobamba in eSwatini

One of the most amazing places I've been to in the world! A perfect balance of nature and comfort... We stayed at a house for 3 people, the beds were great and everything was spotless. Animals roam freely everywhere! The territory is huge with all sorts of trails... Fabulous! We explored it for hours. The restaurant offers a nice variety of healthy food. Thanks, everyone who made our stay unforgettable! ❤️

Mlilwane Park is the perfect sanctuary for a pleasant time with your family and friends. I had a beautiful experience with my beloved one, admiring the stunning scenery. The nature is astounding; you can observe peaceful impalas leaping or a lazy crocodile snoozing, while the zebras wander cautiously. Spend a blessed vacation at this incredible park.

Can definitely recommend taking the bike around the park. Great to see the sanctuary and small museum. Also good lunch at restaurant.

In all honesty the best place to go for a weekend/vacation getaway. The abundance in wildlife, the amazing helpful staff. Its exactly what a proper african experience is. Do yourself a favor and go to the restaurant and watch as the crocodiles come down the damn next to you. The prices are amazing and the beat place to go in all honesty

We visited for the day and did the self-guided Hippo trail. It took about 2.5 hours and took us through the gorgeous sanctuary. We saw Wildebeest, zebras, all sorts of antelopes, some hippos (a safe distance away in the water!) and crocodiles! Plenty of birdlife and spectacular landscapes. Would reccomend spending a couple of days exploring this park, would have loved to try the horse back tour and mountain biking!

Beautiful! The staff is also very friendly. Would definitely recommend staying in a Triple Room at farther end of the road from the rest camp if one is available, both for the privacy and the stunning view! We had warthogs, Impalas, and monkeys racing and playing right off the edge of our porch! If looking for a good hike, we enjoyed the Hippo Trail, which starts and ends at the rest camp. We're fast hikers, yet it took us almost 2 hours to return. Beautiful countryside. Walked near some zebras, antelope, and turtles. Despite the name, we didn't see any hippos.

Be sure to take the 4x4 road to the top of the hill, or go hiking to get the same views. Watch out for wild animals. Don't swim in the dam on the your way black to camp, as there are large crocodiles and hippos beneath the they surface.

Hippo Loop takes you through 6.8km of a rich variety of flora and fauna. It is easy to moderate. Some parts of the hike has a climb, but if you give yourself time you will just enjoy. We hadn’t brought bug spray, that was a mistake. Our hike started at 3 pm, and we finished with the sun in the most perfect state. Restaurant had some of the best chicken curry we have had-truly delicious!

Great stay, plenty activities and good food. Animals roam the entire camp grounds. We booked a Cave sleepover which was great

We stayed in a Lontweni Rondavel (4/11-5/11). The reception staff was very friendly and accommodating. The sanctuary was quite nice in terms of fauna and wildlife, although we saw no hippo's and just one crocodile. Which was surprising as they promote themselves with 'breakfast with hippo's and crocs'. The Rondavel was nice enough, although not mosquito proof and the bathroom was abismal. Also, don't expect any service in the restaurant or free wifi.

Great staff and Great food

fantastic place

Nous avons fait une balade à cheval de 2h et l’expérience était juste fantastique ! Notre guide était au top. Nous avons passé un super moment et même regretté de ne pas dormir sur place pour profiter davantage de la réserve

Leuk park. We hadden een mooie lodge met uitzicht. Wel wat verouderd. Jammer, geen bereik en bijna geen WiFi waardoor we zoon van 20 die alleen thuis was niet konden bereiken en verwittigen. Ook zwembad gesloten voor herstelling. Zelfde als de vijver aan het restaurant. Met als gevolg een groot doek ipv een mooi uitzicht. Jammer. Personeel wel heel erg vriendelijk! En heel mooie paardrijrocht gedaan.

Wow wat a beautiful place! Great park to stay for a (few) night's. Nice for walking and even some mountainbiken. Further accommodation are good, we've stayed in a b-hive.

What a beautifull place and the nature and wildlife is so nice. We love it here

Belle espace de vie .Avec plein d'animaux différents Nous avons fait la randonnée 3 jours (à cheval).c'était incroyable ,organisation parfaite chevaux parfait tout était parfait. Cela à cocher toutes nos cases! Si vous voulez faire une randonnée à cheval et que vous savez monter à cheval prenez la randonnée 3 jours Merci beaucoup pour tous ces moments. Et merci à Natti notre guide et à Moussa notre cuisinier.

There aren’t many animals compared to some wildlife parks but this one has a really joyous atmosphere. We spent about 3 hours wondering and driving in this beautiful park. Very scenic especially the water features, trees snd fauna. Great for taking photographs especially in the evening with the stunning reflections across the lakes!

Great outdoor ,swimming and braaing place.lf you lucky you might see some wild animals.

Peaceful nature experience. Ideal walking/hiking or cycling routes. Very hot in summer, some routes extremely steep for vehicles and could be closed during rain season. Breathtaking sceneries on mountain tops.

I so many animals

☀️

Because of what the offer

Beautiful wildlife reserve in the beautiful Kingdom of eSwatini

(Translated by Google) Beautiful in all its splendor. (Original) Bello en todo su esplendor.

We stayed in the main camp with our car and rooftop tent. You need to pay the park entry fee in order to stay + camping fee. V. nice campsite, lots of room, shade, new and clean bathrooms. Every site has braai and simple plug option. Service is great, WiFi is for $ and soso. Restaurant is convenient, but slightly too expensive for the quality (buffet choice only). They also have laundry service. Great place to hike (recommend hippo trail + summit trail combo for hikers).

(Translated by Google) Nice discovery, a nice park with very well done Zulu dances. The possibility of a small dialogue with the participants. Clean set and discovery of a beautiful waterfall (Original) Belle découverte, un parc sympa avec des danses zouloues très bien réalisées. La possibilité d'un petit dialogue avec les participants. Ensemble propre et découverte d'une belle cascade

Nice place 👌

One of my favorite places around SD

It’s a great place to spend the day. There are hikes you can do by yourself, many animals like zebras and warthogs. It’s possible to rent bikes but they can be a little bit expensive. The restaurant is above average for Africa standards, and they even have good vegetarian options. There is also a little souvenir shop in it. The entrance is free if you have a Wild Card.

It has nice views and a place where you can relax to refresh your mind

We were disappointed as we were told about there are hippo's however after our 2 hour drive and on exit the guard apologizes after we asked him where their location is, only to find out that they were moved out and relocated weeks before due to drought. We could've been informed earlier.

Great Sanctuary where one can either relax and overlook the landscape beauty or you take a bike ride and go crazy on the well defined tracks.

A really nice place without predators (but there are crocodiles, so keep distance with lake/river).

One of many places in the kingdom of Swaziland in it's natural unspoilt natural beauty preserving both fauna and flora.

Awesome place, never fails to be great. Friendly staff, great environment, wonderful to just chill and destress, if you're not wanting to go out and do touristy things. Highly recommended.

Great rural experience

Lovely place, enough to see and do around. Pool as well. Food and staff where great

Very beautiful and relaxing, very family friendly

Nice environment. Friendly staff. Clean & neat. Relaxing. Lots to do.

Amazing holiday! Beautiful. Loved the horse ride and pool. Lots of beautiful views and animals

Very nice place to stay at. Staff is so friendly and humble. We stayed at the round hits which were very neat and tidy. The place is full of wild animals walking around and there is plenty activities to keep you busy. The landscape is also lovely especially when you pass by the dam. Only issue was that we had to pay for an extra fee to enter the property which was unexpected.

Lovely nature reserve and cultural village in close proximity to the Ezulwini Valley. The Waterfall was a pleasant surprise and fairly substantial. The dances and music gave a good impression of the Swazi culture and it was certainly worth the visit.

So beautiful, friendly staff, lots of crocodiles, zebras.... No proper map .

I will comment in the next 24 hrs still exhausted. For now I will rate it 3

Very informative about the Swati homestead culture

(Translated by Google) Original residence, not so luxurious (bathrooms need updating). (Original) Originele verblijfplaats, niet zo luxueus (badkamers zijn aan vernieuwing toe).

Brilliant primitive accommodation with a modern update to accomodate the real world.

(Translated by Google) There is bathroom in room and can sleep comfortably widely. However, a mobile battery is indispensable as it cannot be charged without a dedicated outlet. The breakfast omelet and the dinner buffet were beyond my imagination. Because it is a hotel in a safari, there are many animals. (Original) お部屋の中にはバスルームもあり広く快適に寝れます。ただ専用のコンセントがないと電気充電できないのでモバイルバッテリー必須です。朝食のオムレツ、夕飯のビュッフェ想像超えて美味しかったです。サファリの中にあるホテルなので動物がたくさんよってきます。

Very nice lovely accommodation in Eswatini formally Swaziland. Warthogs roam around the place and sleep by the fire as owners of the place. Food and services are very good. Not a major safari place but the scenery is excellent.

Always a good experience . Great staff . Good animal viewing . Good accommodation

(Translated by Google) It was a very disappointing stay on the domain. From the beginning we did not feel welcome. The staff was very, but also very unfriendly. Both at the entrance gate and at the reception, they are also very intrusive in the restaurant and they are not friendly there either. It was very difficult to communicate with them in all areas. We have come here specifically for horse riding and MTBs. After long saw to almost begging, we were able to ride for 2 hours, my friend went MTB with a bicycle whose wheels were loose and which was anything but fine. When this is raised, there is hardly any response from the staff. The staff really gives you the feeling that they don't want to work. You have to pay for WiFi, if you want to do an activity that first has to be paid for what the staff themselves repeat 10 times, which seems very strange to the customer. The domain is focused on outdoor activities and in the rain you can not stay in many places fan in the far too small rooms with hardly any light, no chair or table present. The rooms are not clean and they are poorly maintained. Not recommended for us to visit as we were so shocked by the lack of hospitality. (Original) Het was een zeer teleurstellend verblijf op het domein. Van in het begin voelde we ons niet welkom. Het personeel was zeer, maar dan ook zeer onvriendelijk. Zowel aan de entrance gate als aan de receptie, in het restaurant zijn ze daarenboven zeer opdringerig en ook daar zijn ze niet vriendelijk. Het was heel moeilijk communiceren met hen op alle vlakken. Wij zijn speciaal naar hier gekomen om te paardrijden en mtb'en. Na lang zagen tot bijna smeken hebben we dan toch 2u kunnen paardrijden, mijn vriend is gaan mtb'en met een fiets waarvan de wielen losstonden en die alles behalve in orde was. Bij het aankaarten hiervan wordt er amper tot niet gereageerd door het personeel. Het personeel geeft je echt het gevoel dat ze niet willen werken. Je moet betalen voor WiFi, wil je een activiteit doen moet die eerst betaald worden wat het personeel zelf 10x herhaald, wat heel raar overkomt naar de klant. Het domein is gericht op buiten activiteiten en bij regen kan je maar op weinig plekken vertoeven fan op de veel te kleine kamers met amper licht, geen stoeltje of tafeltje aanwezig. De kamers zijn niet proper en ze zijn slecht onderhouden. Voor ons geen aanrader op te bezoeken daar we zo geschrokken waren van het gebrek aan hospitality.

(Translated by Google) Swaziland worth a visit. Nice nature reserve (Original) Swasiland eine Reise wert. Schönes Naturschutzgebiet

(Translated by Google) Nice for walking, enjoying nature. If you come for the Hippos, they are no longer there. We felt that today there was not much action at all. Both from human and from animal point of view. (Original) Mooi om te wandelen, te genieten van de natuur. Als je voor de Hippo's komt, die zijn er niet meer. Wij vonden dat er vandaag überhaupt weinig actie te bespeuren was. Zowel vanuit mens als vanuit dier point of view.

Great cultural environment...with traditional dances scheduled for the day

Never missed out ,,OMG

Picturesque location, with crocodile, Zebras, Impala and wilderbeast sighted. For 80 Rands you can take your car in and enjoy the Camp, no Big 5 though

Loved staying in the traditional yet modernised hutts, great birdlife!

Wonderful place, good restaurant with barbecue and possible stay over night for relaxing- no wifi and phone..-:)

Lovely landscape

Such a beautiful and quiet place, where you can feel so at ease with nature and creation 💕

Great

(Translated by Google) What could be nicer than sleeping in a cabin. The advice to go backwards in the door was correct. The animals roam freely and that is great. In addition, a performance of the staff in traditional costumes. So funny. So the tip is to spend the night here. (Original) Wat is er leuker dan te slapen in een hut. Het advies om achteruit de deur in te gaan was een juiste. De dieren lopen vrij rond en dat is top. Daarnaast een optreden van het personeel in traditionele klederdracht. Zo leuk. Tip is dus om hier te overnachten.

Beautiful spot where you can hike on your own or take advantage of guided tours. Spend the day, or the night, and have a decent espresso at the restaurant.

Amazing staff stunning place clean and beautiful accommodation definitely worth the visit and will be returning in the future

Chilled place to stay whilst exploring the park.

I stayed a few nights in the Beehive huts and had a magnificent time. The staff were beyond lovely! I felt that I made wonderful friends. Zebras wander through the parking lot. Warthogs snuggle up to burning embers at night, which is adorable and nerve-wracking. The nighttime jeep tour was amazing. I cannot think of a single thing that was missing. This is not a Big Five safari ground; it is for much more personal contact with the wildlife. As a birder, I was entranced. It was perfect in every way.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful protected area! (Original) Wunderschönes Schutzgebiet!

(Translated by Google) Historic Zulu Village. Tour and dance and singing. Great afternoon entertainment (Original) Historisch Zuludorp. Rondleiding en dans en zang. Prima middag vermaak

(Translated by Google) Super safari walk. (Original) Super le safari a pied.

"It's the best place to be because it gives you a surprise every time you visit the national parks in Swaziland."

Nice place for hiking activities, good view of the crocodiles. Otherwise my only concern is, there weren't enough animals as i would expect to see...a lot has changed.

Lindo, simpatia de todos os funcionários
