This was an impromptu trip for me and I was pleasantly surprised by the magnificent food, service and general hospitality! It's a great family affair and nothing short of excellence. More

My husband and I were in Maqueda a year ago as boyfriend and girlfriend and had a brilliant time and I shared my experience on this site back then raving about it all. Now I am back to tell you about the family's Mozambique camp where we spent our honeymoon. Although very different from Maqueda in the sense it is... More

A friend and I spent four days at Maqueda Lodge in early March. The lodge itself is beautiful and a bit funky, fully open to the wonderful surrounding area. More important was the family of owners and their staff who created the most welcoming environment I have ever encountered at a hotel. Good food and good wine served as the... More

Having stayed for five nights at the beginning of March, we were made to feel so welcome that it was like being one of the family. As frequent visitors to South Africa, the standard of food and hospitality at Maqueda Lodge is second to none. The hosts, Etienne and Francois ensure you have a wonderful time no matter what you...

Wonderful experiences by being pampered even after 10:00 p.m. with a warm meal, some drinks and entertainment. The food is very good and a lot. The owners and particularly the old man is a kind of helpful specy, you will not find many anymore in this world. To approach the place is a bid cumbersome and the distance to the... More

We just stayed only one night in this beautifal place with very friendly people. A fantastic warm hospitality welcomed us, when we arrived and took us through the night in wonderful and comfortable rooms in this rough area. The highlight was the lunch, which was served with very friendly words and full of taste. When I'm next time in ZA,... More

I recently stayed at the lodge over a short two day break in February. The best part of the lodge is the hospitality. The owners treat you like one of the family making you feel very welcome but giving you your privacy at the same time. The lodge is intimate, relaxed, and very comfortable. The rooms had their own individual... More

We stayed over Christmas with our 8 month old baby and we couldn't have been made more welcome. The food was fantastic and the shared dinner table allowed us to meet and chat with the other guests. The lodge is cosy with very comfortable shared areas. Kruger Park is a 30 minute drive. However, there are wild animals walking around... More

We never experienced such a warm and sincere welcome in such a beautiful place very close to Kruger Park. A cosey living room is created in the middle of the beautiful Marlot Park where giraffes, zebra's and other animals walk around in freedom. Great chef, wonderful food, extraordinairy hospitality, very peaceful atmosphere. More
