Beehive Village at Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary Reviews

Both myself and my partner absolutely loved staying at Mlilwane. It is a very peaceful place.The beehive accomodation is really different and would recommend it to anyone.

We were delighted with our Beehive Hut. It was clean, comfortable and the most unique place we have ever spent the night. The spacious modern bathrooms attached to the back were an unexpected bonus. We emerged in the morning to see warthogs and impala grazing peacefully nearby. The Hippo Haunt provided buffet meals with a lovely view. We wished we had booked two nights.

Our stay was for only one night, but was amazing. The beehive was so warm inside and everytrhing you need is provided. Only thing is that they are quite close together so if people are noisy it can be disruptive. All-in-all a wonderful experience and I will definitely come back!

Very friendly helpful and ethical staff

Both food and the tour to Sani Pass were of a high standard

We really enjoyed out stay at Mlilwane. Was an experience to sleep in the beehive hut.

I had stayed in the Beehives before and was very pleased with the previous stay. However, the experience this time round was unfortunately not as pleasant as previously remembered.

The issue started when we had arrived. Our proof of booking had indicated that we would have a double bed in our Beehive, only to find that we had been allocated to a Beehive with 2 single beds. We then reported the issue to reception, who handled the problem very professionally. We were however eventually told that Mlilwane had informed Accomodation Direct that no more double bed Beehives had been available, despite Accomodation Direct issuing me with a booking indicating that a double bed would be available.

Being a newly wed couple, we were not very happy with the fact that a double bed Beehive had not been available as indicated on the booking confirmation.

We sleep one night in the beehives and it was very nice!
Good bed,frendly people and good food.
It was a nice park, many lovely birds and a quiet area.

I absolutely enjoyed my stay at this nice place! The staff was very friendly and offered good service all the time. The beehive hut was clean and as comfortable as it could be. It's a perfect place for relaxing, walking or driving in the wilderness and to enjoy the beautiful nature.

Great place to stay :-)

enjoyed the environment and the cottages but would suggest that the communal kitchen be cleaned up and upgraded as the stove only has 3 working plates and the oven does not work at all. The communal kitchen requires a lot of attention and cleaning as it is very unhygienic at the moment
However, the people working at the site are all very friendly and willing to assist.

I am still speechless!

Mlilwane was a wonderful place to stay. The beehive huts were fascinating , clean and comfortable. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Our meal in the restaurant was lovely. Our bike ride and viewing of the animals was a highlight of the whole trip.

The place is peaceful, with friendly staff and not far from Mbabane itself. Make sure to inform future travelers of the conservation fee that has to be paid at the gate. The signage to the place are far from each other and not fairly visible to a person not knowing the place, offer visitors a map and clear instructions to the place. It was quite a wonderful place the staff go out of their way to make you feel at home.

I loved the stay in the hut! It was relaxing...well equipped and truly a sensational experience.. Will do it again. Thank you
