  • Lodge sleeps 14 in 2 double and 2 twin bedrooms.
  • Power Inverter for certain appliances during load-shedding..
  • Wifi.
  • DSTV .
  • Outdoor pool.
  • Good cellphone reception.
  • Braai / Barbeque facilities.

Ever dreamed of an 'Out of Africa' experience but didn't want to leave the luxuries of an en-suite bathroom behind, well here is your chance. Only two hours from Johannesburg you can escape to Milkwood Safari Lodge, a luxurious, privately owned self catering bush lodge within Mabalingwe Nature Reserve near Bela-Bela.

Free from the din of everyday life you will enjoy the sights and smells of the bush and be sent to sleep each night by the chorus of an African bush lullaby. You will find giraffe, warthog, buffalo and many more animals as they drink from a nearby water-hole.

The entertainment area (Lapa) offers sweeping views across the Limpopo bush, a fully equipped kitchen, lounge and dining area. A pathway leaps you through the bush to a fire-pit where you can enjoy fireside suppers under the African stars. While you cool off in the pool you can watch the game pass by on the other side of the ravine.

The lodge has 4 en suite bedrooms. Each bedroom has its own private entrance and en suite. Each double room has an inter-leading door to a twin room so if you are travelling with children they will be close-by, however, the adults can still enjoy some privacy. The twin bedrooms also have a tri-bunk bed in each room. The lodge capacity is 14.

Finest quality bedding and towels are provided. There is a small Hi-Fi and good cellphone reception.

Follow your early morning coffee at sunrise with a game drive and then a hearty brunch. You can spend the afternoon lazing under a shady tree by the pool or resting in the cool, thatched bedrooms. Once the heat of the day has passed, you can take a late afternoon game drive and then have sundowners on our viewing deck.

End the day with a fireside supper under the African stars - who needs a TV. Enjoy wildlife, nature, peace and quiet. Isn't it time you escaped?

On-site, you can view the Big Five in your own vehicle or on a guided tours. The main camp, Ingwe, has it's own restaurant, shop, ATM, tennis courts and squash courts. Only 20 minutes away you will find the natural mineral hot springs of Bela-Bela.

Please note: we have an inverter system which keeps certain appliances on during times of loadshedding and that all rooms are airconditioned.

Why the $elect Stays initiative?

  1. Encourage and boost local tourism through making holidays more affordable.
    This is achieved by offering locals a 15% saving. The same 15% that would have left our shores had it been paid as commission to an International Booking site.
  2. Reduce the dependancy on large International Booking sites.
    This is achieved by building up a loyal following of verified users who we will market to on an exclusive and regular basis to maximise the opportunity.
  3. Ensure more money stays within local tourism to benefit us all.
    It is no secret that the large International Booking sites pay no or very little tax to South Africa or Namibia. By taking back a little more control we boost our own economy, and in particular, our local tourism. This is good for us all.
    Read this article on how the Australian holiday accommodation sector is suffering in the same way.
  4. Exclusive.
    Only listings on Stays can participate, which means less competition for bookings.
How it works for accommodation-seekers:

Anyone can register as a $elect Stays member.
There are no costs involved to register as a member.
On registration, we issue them with a member number.
They use their member number when they send an enquiry.
The number is verified automatically BEFORE the enquiry is sent.
The property is notified on the enquiry that they are a verified member.
Property ensures that the quote includes a 15% saving.

Terms & Conditions

  1. The property (you) must offer the 15% saving to all verified members
  2. Verification is done automatically at the time of an enquiry. It is at the property’s discretion whether to offer the saving for a telephonic enquiry. (As you have no means to verify the membership number, it is advisable to get them to do a formal enquiry so they can be verified).
  3. If the property is currently running a "Special" greater than 15% then the "Special" price will apply. (No further savings needs to be offered). EXCEPT in the case where the "Special" is lower than 15%. In that case the 15% will apply.
    Example: A property offering a 10% discount, must offer an additional 5% discount to valid members - so they get a total 15% saving.
  4. The property must offer valid members the saving all year round. (Properties that pick and chose in which seasons to participate run the risk of being removed from the programme completely. Allowing selective participation defeats the integrity of this initiative).
  5. The property must not inflate the price before the 15% is applied. Prices displayed should be the rack rate. (The official or advertised price of a room).
  6. The property must honour any bookings made while the property was participating as a $elect Stays property.
  7. The property must honour the agreement and the spirit in which the initiative is designed to benefit local tourism.
