Mosetlha Bush Camp & Eco Lodge

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights in November and had such a lovely time. It felt like the rush of normal life paused the moment we arrived and were greeted by Caroline.

We became officially unplugged from the world - no internet, no TV, no news, no phone, no distractions. It was wonderful to be able to just relax, create memories and admire the show the local wildlife put on. The atmosphere in the bush camp really encourages this. The camp is away from the other lodges so it really feels like there is nobody else nearby. The room was comfortable and open sided - hearing the animals roam outside at night was an experience! And if you don't want to spend time in your room during the day, there are hammocks around camp to relax in.

There's also a great sense of camaraderie with the set up - delicious communal meals around a big table, an area for people to chat and have drinks from the honesty bar and Caroline was a wonderful hostess, ensuring everyone's comfort.

I was pleasantly surprised by the toilet and shower facilities - basic but clever and clean (like the solar lights around camp and in the rooms).

The game drives exceeded all expectations. There are 2 a day, sunrise and sunset, and for us the wildlife really put on a show and thanks to our guide, Jonny, we always seemed to be in the right spot for it!

I reluctantly returned to real life, refreshed, in absolute awe of what we had seen and feeling lucky to have stayed here.

It is a challenge to do justice to the sensational experience that my boyfriend and I were lucky enough to just have at Mosletha. I genuinely have no criticism, be that constructive or otherwise. This camp is built with love, pride, integrity and despite being a bush camp, is replete with creature comforts including hot water, ample drinking water (that often invites friendly four legged creatures to visit), an extensive library of books, magazines and board games and hammocks from which to star gaze. The food was also incredible and I will forever remember the warmth and openness of the conversation around the gorgeous family table that seats all guests. The camp itself is lit up so beautifully at night, it's literally like walking into a fairytale.

Jonny, our guide, can only be of the same stock as David Attenborough's team of camerafolk, but better. His beady eyes easily spotted chameleon in the thick of night with just a casual flick of a light, rhino hiding in the bush, a kudu carcass lying in the scrub and were not fooled by the often deceiving landscape. I learned more on those drives than in any formal science or biology lesson. No question was too absurd or too benign and his wit and sense of humour also made the drives most entertaining. With his guidance, perseverance and patience, he led us to the magnificent eight and breathtaking sightings of elephants and rhinos sharing water, lion cubs playing, leopards posing up a tree and a male lion making mince meat of a wildebeest. Words just fail. The vehicles themselves were comfy and sturdy, and despite being the only non-luxury lodge in the Park, Moseltha's Defenders have roofs which double as both shield from the African sun and more Irish like wind.

There is no possibility of going hungry at Moslethla. Your tummy will be fed and your soul nurtured. The hospitality on offer is not that of a traditional camp/hotel, but that of a Mammy Bear welcoming home her cubs. Caroline is an absolute treasure and made us feel instantly at home. I cannot wait to return.
