Great and fantastic. Need to go back!
As always I can recommend Mingwe for anyone wishing to spend some time in the bush. Love it. Will be back in the park asap!

Lovely bushveld weekend
Beautifully isolated venue away from the hustle and bustle of Mabalingwe, but close enough to the shop and other entertainment. Good amenities and plenty of little creatures came to visit. Fire pit and plunge pool were the cherry on top for us.
