About
Mwanga Lodge sits within the Bally Vaughan Game Park and Sanctuary, a wildlife rescue centre with lodge rooms and a restaurant. It works as a family day trip from Harare or as a quiet overnight among the animals, and holds a 4.1 rating from about 240 Google reviews.
The big draw for visitors is watching the animals at feeding time. One saw leopard, lion and ostrich being fed, along with smaller game. A family on their last day in Zimbabwe singled out a knowledgeable, helpful guide. People also like the setting: wide open spaces, indigenous trees and pole-and-thatch buildings that one reviewer called nostalgic.
The food comes up often. Day visitors mention good lunches, and one recommends the burger and the boerewors hotdog. Overnight guests describe the lodges as clean and in good condition, and one especially enjoyed waking up to wildlife outside.
Staff are called warm and polite throughout, and one visitor noted that the road in was in good shape.
