The stay
Luxury safari with unusually good family flexibility
Mhondoro combines couple-focused suites, several family configurations and a private three-bedroom villa. That room range makes it possible to keep the look and service level of a luxury lodge while accommodating very different party sizes.
A strong private-group option
The Villa gives six guests a dedicated base, while larger exclusive-use arrangements can take over more of the property. That makes Mhondoro relevant for multi-generational families, celebrations and groups who want privacy without compromising on lodge facilities.
