Mopani Safari Lodge

This location is amazing. First the staff, incredibly nice, friendly and very helpful. They took care of all our needs and went above and beyond on making sure we had a great experience. This was a business trip but I plan on brining my family next year. Food is amazing and the location and the scenery is spectacular. Rooms are spacious, clean and very well furnished. Just a great experience over all and looking forward to coming back.

What an amazing place! It is luxurious while at the same time accommodating a rather wide variety of animals wondering in and around the grounds. We saw out our back window elephants, giraffes, wart hogs, baboons, bushbuck, leopard, hippos. It's always a thrill to look out your window and realize you're right in the middle of their territory! The food was excellent and the staff is incredibly professional and attentive. We were very impressed by Boniface's management of the lodge. Since the lodge is a very short distance from the South Luangwa gate, it is easy to do two game drives a day and this area of South Luangwa never seems to disappoint.

Mopani served us with unmatched hospitality, consideration and care. Our cabin overlooked the lagoon, there was a constant stream of wildlife passing by, beautiful views with a private pool. The staff here fulfill there roles with warmth of family, their kindness and wholeheart commitment to meeting our needs made us feel right at home. My children, albiet fussy ones, have raving reviews for the food and entertainment provided. The team make immense efforts to make meals memorable, we experienced special bush dinners, Sundown tea times at the lagoon and brunch with a parade of elephants. Brian, our game ranger, had a mastery of knowledge on the Safari drives, we witnessed increbile big cat sightings. We also did a walking Safari where we learnt about the flora and fauna which kept the Luangwa Reserve thriving. The game rangers really know the reserve well. There is a hide onsite which allows you to experience the animals up close. The night rangers are always at hand to escort you to and fro in the dark so safety is always ensured. The housekeeping kept the cabin was pristine despite the mess of 3 teens! Borniface provided a faultless concierge service. This trip has truly been a dream. With all our thanks, love and gratitude to the Mopani team for giving us a holiday of a lifetime!
