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

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.

Disliked: Cleanliness
4 star for the animals only !
Unfortunately the lodge is well below global 4 star standards. The "suites" are really a bedroom and bathroom and only contain 1 chair and very small table with no fridge to store milk, water etc. Limited wardrobe space. .Dirty bathroom with rusty shower and taps reported to the owners. First meal in restaurant saw a piece of fish served still frozen and was even tried to charge for after returned. In fairness, the owner Greg, was most helpful when the faults were reported and tried to improve things but it was felt this would need considerable time and sustained effort to rectify This lodge is some way out of town so a car or taxi is a must. Hotel transport to and from the airport is expensive and charged by the person even if only one car used. Local taxis cheaper
