Partly owned by a local community, the small six-suite lodge in the Mluwati concession embraces Tsonga culture, and you'll be welcomed with the Shangaan greeting of 'Hoyo Hoyo'. The orange-coloured beehive rooms resemble traditional dwellings in style but are full of luxury. It's the most affordable option in Kruger's exclusive private concessions. Big cats are something of a speciality in the surrounding bushveld.
