This World Wildlife Day, celebrated annually on 3 March, going on a safari and connecting with nature can be a life-changing experience, especially at a destination where exhilarating game-viewing meets the many joys of luxurious pampering. The five-star Mhondoro Safari Lodge & Villa, a mere two hours and 45 minutes’ drive from Johannesburg, lies within Welgevonden Game Reserve, a rich and diverse landscape stretching across 35 000 hectares. Mhondoro is also home to the Big Five and is protected within the malaria-free reserve. Guided walks are popular with guests, as is sitting in an underground hide (connected to the main lodge via a tunnel) and watching the resident herd of elephants that regularly visits the lodge’s waterhole. The wildlife experience is complemented by Mhondoro’s luxurious accommodation, indulgent spa treatments, fine cuisine and passionate service.
Dutch-owned, Mhondoro is a gourmet’s delight and a fusion of African chic and edgy European influences. The exclusive lodge sleeps only 24 guests and is operated off the grid.
