Pondoro Game Lodge - Open to Kruger Park

Staff was super friendly and went beyond the call of duty to provide an amazing guest experience.

The resort is very thoughtfully decorated and the staff is super helpful. The food is of very high quality with daily changing menu's (Ala-carte) and the team is very flexible to cater any dietary and allergy requirements. The rooms are very spacious with built in snacks and drinks (on the house) overseeing the river and you can spot few animals from the comfort of your room. The safaris are long (4 hour each - morning and evening) but an amazing experience to understand and see the African wildlife. The team of rangers and trackers will go extra mile to help you spot the big 5. Special mention to Patricia (supervisor) and the entire kitchen staff, JD (manager) and the amazing team of rangers and trackers.

Nothing as such, only to mention that the sleeping net in the room can be changed often due to wear and tear due to obvious reasons.

All the staff were great The location was great The rooms were great

May the safari adventure begin while driving into Pondoro. A giraffe to the right, impalas to the left and an elephant herd of twenty in the center. Magic. Pondoro combines luxury with a touch of laidback style. Sit down to a sense of familiarity, but with hidden surprises in between. Game drives packed with experience and sightings. And the bush sound to fill your listening pleasures. What a perfect way to begin.

Friendliness of the staff is exceptional and their cuisine is fantastic. Morning and evening game drives are very well organized and ranger & tracker were very professional. Simply an amazing experience!

It was the most amazing experience! Lizzie and her staff are super thoughtfull! The food was out of this world! The staff was super friendly and would not measure efforts to see you super satisfied, specially Patricia, that welcomed us and kept checking on us everiday! The driver Shad and the tracker Dion were unstopable, until we got the big 5 complete, they would not rest! Our housekeeper Sindile were very sweet, leaving us super cute notes everyday!! The instalantions were super confortable and we will sure come back more times!

Nothing! Absolutely perfect!

To the Pondoro staff and in particular our guide Dewald and tracker Andres, thank you for the unforgettable experience! Dewald and Andres were very knowledgeable about wildlife, and we got to see the big 5 - including a leopard poised on a tree with its kill - and many other animals up close over a 4 day tour. Back at the lodge, everything from food to room had a personal touch. The kitchen did amazing breakfast (avo toast and Pondoro breakfast were our favourites) and exceptional starters, and the rooms were cleaned 2-3 times a day with a personal pick me up note each time. Truly a stellar experience!
