Mafigeni a memorable South African Experience.
With out doubt one of the best holidays ever. Fantastic place, people and service. Could not fault anything. If you want a South African Experience then Mafigeni is the place. So many things to do and see in the immediate area including Kruger National Park. Self drive or guided if it's you first time you will not be dissapointed. Thank you everyone at Mafigeni for a memorable stay.

Unique experience!
Staying at Mafigeni was by far one of my favorite places during our trip to South Africa. The facility is like an oasis, it is amazing! Our room-a roundavel- was clean, cozy and unique. The staff and the family who owns Mafigeni were extremely helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Our excursion to Kruger National Park with Riaan was worth every penny. We learn a lot and had a lot of fun with him. All the meals were home-cooked and delicious. At night, we would sit around a fire and just chat and relax. It is peaceful, unique, comfortable and more.
