Moholoholo Ya Mati review

Moholoho Ya Mati is a beautiful river camp on the Blyde River. A very pricey looking luxury camp at that (include link) but on the recommendation of Andre they have the best value food in the area--we agree and ate there twice as a result for lunch our last 2 days In the bush.

About a 20 km drive from our camp it took about a 25 minutes to get there on the sometimes rocky roads. You know you've arrived as they typically barren landscape is now lush and green, thanks to watering provided by the river.  The tea garden and riverside cafe are in the back of the camp, signs will direct you down single lane roads. Both our meals ran us between R220 and R250 or 14-16 USD total as in the bill for both of us have have a full meal and a drink- beer will run you a dollar usd. Over 2 days we had 4 meals which I will describe below:

Day 1
J had a chicken campangola which was chicken breast with spinach and mozzarella on top baked in the oven. It came with roasted veggies and potato wedges.  He had a castle beer- a 2000 gold medal winner

I had a chicken curry, which consisted of a half of a chicken in one of the best coconut curry sauces I have ever had.  Tangy and sweet yet creamy with a subtle heat at the back of the palette. I also had a hot chocolate as it was windy out and I needed something to keep me warm.

Total bill with tip R220

Day 2
J had a large spare rib pizza - of which he ate half for lunch and saved the other half for dinner. Today he had a large Mango Juice to drink

I had a flat bread sandwich melt, which consisted of chicken, sundried tomatoes, and mozzarella cheese.  It also came with potato wedges. I also finished about half of the of mine and will eat the rest for dinner. I had a lemon iced tea with my meal.

Unlike yesterday I did save room for dessert. I ordered the peppermint tart, which was a layered dessert consisting of whipped cream, caramel, chocolate, thin cookies and peppermint crisps. It was very tasty--I ate half and saved the rest for my dinner.

Today's total bill with tip R250 but since it is feeding us for two meals today it breaks down to R125 a meal - that's less than $10

The surroundings we very beautiful making our simple lunch feel peaceful and romantic
