Mali Mali Safari Lodge

MALI MALI - FALSE ADVERTISING // VERY DISAPPOINTED Stayed at Mali Mali from the 4th Jan - 7th Jan They state game viewing available, yet the only vehicle available is broken and needs repairs. There is nothing to do at Mali Mali other than sit by a dirty pool. Rooms: Mattress is a thin foam on a cement base VERY VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. Pictures on the website is clearly false/old.. ARC OLD! The paint has faded and looks old. So many Stairs, not suitable for old people or people with Back/knee problems NOT A LODGE, More like a B&B advertising false, none of below available directly from the lodge, have to drive far distances to get any of the below services. Rooms really of poor standard, broken table/dressers. Decking outside the room broken/lose, lose stones, i personally fell and injured myself, i have photos, and videos Limited packing space,not worthy of R2000 per night stay, I wouldnt even give Mali Mali a 1 Star. Breakfast portions are very small, cannot even offer a filter coffee ONLY a packet of coffee milk/sugar/coffee this coffee is full of preservatives. What about the people who do not take sugar or milk? Stayed 3 Nights ONLY.. instead of the 7 night stay! Malaria Area, yet they have a pond & 3x non-working water fountains full of stagnant water that is a maleria mosquito breeding ground!

Mali Mali is in serious need of some TLC. The toilet seat in our unit was broken, the "shower" was anything but a shower. The towel rail also fell off a few times. One of the windows in the kitchen nearly fell out when we tried to open it, all rusted. Also a few open light bulbs, no insect screens. The entire unit is in serious need of a good, deep clean! Very friendly staff!

The hosts were amazing, went out if their way to make us comfortable, the supper by the bonfire a highlight for me, best mushroom sauce I've ever had! Definitely a place to check out and just relax and unwind.
