Definitely the staff & owner who were so accommodating. The place turned out fantastic for our 2 weeks of stay. Morning was so peaceful and surreal as the Wilderbeests & Zebras wondering next to our table. Overall, it was the staff that made all the difference.

I found Game Haven Lodge to be a very peaceful place. Even when the weather is hot, there is a lovely breeze about the the place. The location was convenient for me to explore Blantyre, Bvumbwe, Thyolo, Mulanje & Likhubula. Loved the game Drive. Weekends can be busy with locals which means you may have to wait longer for meals.

We came for the animals, but the cold weather kept the animals hidden. It's no one's fault

They need to add that this property is outside Blantyre so people don’t make mistakes to make and pay for their reservations. And after they pay the can’t cancel. Lots of toilet stains. No ba soap for bathing or showering.

Great place to relax and recharge. Nice clean rooms. The game walk, game drive, and mountain bike rides were a lot of fun. Food is good and atmosphere was just what we were looking for. It is quiet and peaceful.
