The food was good. However, we were not greeted when we arrived, I had to go and find a waiter. We are brought a menu but no wine list. My wife asks for the wine list and I walk back to our bungalow to fetch my camera. When I get back, 10 minutes later, we still don't have the wine list. I have again, to go and find the waiter to get the list. We order the wine and are brought two different size wine glasses, yet we are having the same wine. The dinner (hamburger and fish & chips) takes 45 minutes to arrive - they are not busy. We then order a waffle with ice cream for dessert. We wait 20 minutes and get presented with a dry waffle. We ask where the ice cream is and are told it had melted. Then why not tell us when we ordered it!?
There are two spotlights so diners can view animals in the Shingwedzi riverbed - one light does not work and the other one shines onto a tree.
Mpila Leisure are amateurs trying to compete with the likes of professional Cattle baron and Tindlovu restaurants. We do not see them lasting in the Kruger national park with this shoddy service. And they don't respond to reviews, which tells me they don't care about their customers.

The area is currently being renovated, thus the low score for atmosphere. Once renovations are completed the restaurant area will have a lovely, tranquil bush atmosphere with beautiful river views. Food was delicious and good value for money and service excellent, friendly and professional

Yesterday I was with my Friends at Mpila leisure,
We had such a wonderful experience as we were served by Thabiso Ngobeni.we arrived during the afternoon and he was about to knock off however he sacrificed his time by ensuring that we receive the excellent service from him. He took us through the whole experience as he allowed us enjoy the Birthday.
I would like head office to recognize his excellent service as he has the heart for customers.
I will definitely come back to Mpila Leisure Because of Thabiso's excellent service.
Had a Chicken burger and chips for dinner and battled to finish it. Definitely for the hungry people.
Very basic menu in line with all the other camps in the Kruger National Park.
Staff very friendly and efficient.

Everything was good here. It was unfortunate that we couldn't sit on the undercover veranda as they are repairing it after this year's floods.
