Dinkweng Safari Lodge

A lovely getaway place with beautiful Villas. The road via escort to the actual place is a little daunting but worth it. But it could be even better if the Wifi was a little more reliable and the food was better.

My wife and I visited Dinkweng for the first time. The accomodation is spacious and very clean. The drought is a challenge with very dry conditions. The food at restaurant is top class. We had a very nice dinner in the deck outside the bar area. Lodges 5 to 12 are well spaced and private. Lodge 7 has its own double carport - something that other lodges don’t have as yet. The deck is spacious with dining table to sit 8. The spa is unfortunately not up to standard - perhaps when it is high season is the treatment too notch. Staff assisted with initial problems with gas stove and were quick to assist. Unit 8 is evidence if active maintenance with all wooden doors, frames, and fence around deck having been sanded down, ready for a new coat of protection against the harsh sun. Nice walk to the deck with beautiful view. Read all the instructions you receive when your booking is confirmed. The 6.5 km from tar road to first gate is sandy with the rest if the way a steady (slow) drive. Our lodge did (for unknown reason) not have Supersport channels on first 2 nights. It was eventually fixed - only a pitty (or maybe not) that I could not watch the Springboks loose against Ireland in 2023 RWC. The kitchen is well equipt except for no place mats for tables and only one wooden board for hot braai bowl. A nice touch is spacious pantry where there is a picnic bag and blanket as well as two emergency lights for loadshedding. Every one of the 3 bedrooms are ensuite with both shower and bath.

Everything was just amazing. Will definitely be back with friends. Will also market this lodge.
