Discover Hoedspruit - Part 5 Mohlatsi Mango Farm

Tucked just a few minutes outside the vibrant safari town of Hoedspruit lies a hidden gem that promises a truly unique taste of the Lowveld – Mohlatsi Mango Farm. For anyone with a sweet tooth, a love for fresh produce, or simply a curiosity about life on a working farm, this is a stop worth adding to your itinerary.

Mohlatsi Mango Farm isn’t just about mangoes (though they do them exceptionally well). It’s an immersive experience where guests can see, taste, and learn what goes into producing some of South Africa’s finest fruit products.

A Mango Lover’s Paradise

During mango season, the farm bursts into life with over 40 different mango cultivars ripening under the African sun. Guests are invited to explore the orchards, try their hand at harvesting ripe mangoes, and experience the satisfaction of picking their own fruit straight from the tree.

The experience doesn’t stop there. Visitors can head over to the Mohlatsi Dried Fruit factory, where a dedicated team of local women skillfully peel, slice, and prepare mangoes for drying. Try to keep up — it’s no easy task, but it’s a fun and eye-opening glimpse into the farm-to-table journey of this beloved fruit.

Taste the Bushveld

Of course, no visit is complete without a tasting session. Guests are treated to an impressive selection of dried fruits, roasted nuts, nougat, jams, and mango-inspired creations like creamy frozen yogurt and melt-in-your-mouth mango fudge. For those who love a bit of spice, the mango achaar and mango chili sauce will test your taste buds in the best way possible.

Picnic Under the Marula Tree

After the tour and tastings, visitors can wind down with a relaxing picnic on the farm grounds. Whether you choose to lay out under a majestic Marula tree or settle into the dappled shade of a mango orchard, this is the perfect way to soak up the peaceful Bushveld atmosphere.

Picnic baskets are filled with locally sourced, artisanal products, offering a wholesome, flavorful spread that celebrates the best of the region.

A Worthwhile Stop on Any Safari Route

Come and enjoy a full farm tour, tastings, and a generous harvest spread. Whether you're staying in Hoedspruit or passing through on a Panorama Route or Kruger safari adventure, Mohlatsi Mango Farm is a refreshing, delicious, and educational stop that brings people closer to the land and the flavors it produces.

It’s not just a visit — it’s a celebration of South African agriculture, hospitality, and community.
