Amazing Weekend Break
Morokolo Safari Lodge has exceeded our expectations. From the hospitality from Jacqie upon arrival, to the knowledgeable game drives by Riaan. Not even to mention the luxurious accommodation. Will definitely return to Morokolo Lodge

Total expensive let-down.
(1) Was disappointed with the room. I specifically asked for a Kingsize bed but got 2 small beds which were only converted into a bigger bed the following day. The first night was extremely uncomfortable.
The room cupboards looked old with peeling finishing/trimmings.
(2) The food quality and variety were far below expectations especially in view of the money paid.
(3) Game viewing really not informative; guide was merely driving around, sharing very little knowledge of game and birds.(4) Overall, a total expensive letdown.

Underwhelming experience
Hotel is nice and well decorated. Game drives are cut short because of kitchen schedule demands. I go to the bush for the wildlife, not to be cut short because a cook that wants to run his kitchen on a clock. Food is served buffet style anyway, so what is the rush?
Convenient location, close to Jhb, but overall disappointing.

Fantastic small Lodge
My wife and I stayed here for one night in October and found it to be fantastic. the staff were great, the facilities are beautiful and that game drives productive. the meals are served at a nearby lodge and were very good. I am sorry I only got to stay one night but it is highly recommended!

BEWARE: NO WIFI IN ROOMS, BUT GREAT HOTEL
My biggest disappointment in this establishment is arriving and finding out that there is no wifi at the lodge even though it lists that it does. They offer wifi ONLY in the restaurant, which you only go to twice a day for meals--not to lounge about and be on your laptop, etc.
Other than that, I would agree that the rooms themselves are slightly outdated and rundownish--but not enough for me to not want to return. Let's just say that the paint and decor looks a lot nicer in the photos than it does in real life.
Very comfy beds, very large and very cool bathrooms with tub, shower, and outdoor shower.
The pool shouldn't really be called a pool--it should be called a dipping area of water. It is literally the smallest "pool" I have ever seen.
Game drives were a 10/10 experience, and service at the hotel and restaurant was fantastic.
The biggest question that any review comes down to is: Would I return to this lodge if I were back in the Pilanesberg area?
I'd answer that with a Yes.

Ótima experiência
A estadia no Morokolo foi incrível! O hotel é pequeno, tem poucos quartos o que o torna mais aconchegante e por conta disso acabamos conhecendo os outros hóspedes.
A jacqui (recepção) é extremamente atenciosa e o Humbu nosso game driver é super divertido e realmente se esforçou para que avistássemos os big five.
Eu voltaria com certeza!!!

Top und Flop
Tolle Zimmer, wunderschön.
Sehr nette Leute die da arbeiten, dass war es dann aber auch schon.
Das Essen ist ein schlechter Witz. Man gibt sich dabei gar keine Mühe.
Der Welcome Drink wird mit 0,30 Euro berechnet - bei einer Lodge die 300 Euro kostet !!!! Was soll dass ??? Getränke auf den Game Drives mussten ebenso extra bezahlt werden, was auch erst auf der Rechnung auffiel.
Kleinigkeiten die einfach negativ auffallen und nerven.
Die Game Drives an sich waren Ok, aber eher für Safarianfänger geeignet.

Per chi cerca tranquillità e pace
È un Lodge con poche stanze molto accogliente e immerso nella natura. Ci si sente quasi a casa...due ragazzi che lo gestiscono sono veramente disponibili e professionali. È un punto di partenza per visitare la zona più remota del pilanesberg np

Amabilité et disponibilité du personnel
Lodge très bien entretenu. Chambre spacieuse, propre, bien décorée, douche intérieure + extérieure et baignoire. Salle commune avec TV, billard,.... et à l'extérieure jacuzzi et petite piscine. Le restaurant est situé dans un autre complexe à 5 min de voiture. Service et nourriture de qualité. WiFi disponible au restaurant. Game drive effectué matin et soir. Egalement possible de réserver des safari à pied avec un ranger.
