Le lodge a de la chance d'avoir un chef si talentueux. Merci à toute l'équipe...! Danielle & Luc

Alles! Wir wollten gar nicht abreisen! Die Anlage mit all den Tieren ist der Wahnsinn, wir sind überhaupt nicht mehr in den Kruger gefahren, weil wir dort so viele verschiedene Tiere sehen konnten! Die kostenlosen Game Drives mit Picnic am Abend, bei denen man nicht mit 5 anderen Autos bei einem Tier steht, sondern komplett alleine, weil es eine private Anlage ist. Die Bush Walks am Morgen und all die Sachen, die man dabei gelernt hat, Wahnsinn! Vor allem Titus und Katie haben uns mit Leidenschaft und Freude alles gezeigt. Das Essen war sensationell!!! Das Beste, was wir auf unserer Reise hatten und wir haben NIE schlecht gegessen. Das Barbecue war der Wahnsinn, was da angeboten wurde und der Ort ums Feuer herum, so schön! Das a la carte Essen genauso, wie die Teller dekoriert waren, Hammer! Und die Unterkünfte selbst (wir hatten das Zelt) war meine liebste von vielen Reisen.

Without a doubt, it was the best destination for our honeymoon. We have nothing but praise for the entire staff, who took such good care of us—especially our guide (Titus), who was so nice and kind to us throughout our stay, and the ladies who prepared our meals and the evening barbecue just for us. We also had full support in arranging a guide who picked us up at the hotel entrance and took us on a safari inside Kruger. The Lodge handled everything for us. The hotel is fantastic; our tent was impeccable, the furniture is beautiful, everything was clean and tidy, and we were treated to various little treats and surprises throughout our stay, including dinner on the tent’s veranda, which was really nice. We saw all the animals in the reserve several times, and it was an indescribable experience for us. We will definitely return as soon as possible.

Comida muito boa e o atendimento

Tudo estava ótimo

O contato próximo com os animais da reserva é, sem dúvida, um diferencial. O atendimento do staff superou positivamente as expectativas.

O quarto podia ser melhor iluminado, mas nada que comprometa a qualidade das instalações.

Geweldige lokatie in de bush. Service, eten en vriendelijkheid gewoon perfect

It's nearby to both Hoedspruit airport and Orpen Gate to Kruger national park. This area doesn't have lions and leopard but it's easier to view zebra and giraffe upclose near the lobby area and car park area if compared to Satara rest camps I stayed. The food and ambience here were nice and the staff were friendly and very helpful.

we had to tussle with a gang of giraffes, including a 12 foot, 3 month old baby, to get to the cabin. Monkeys were ripping at the pool furniture at dawn when we went to a drive and a troop of outraged zebra barred the way back to the cabin in the eving, stamping and starring. dinner and breakfast brilliant. lovely place. considering that you can ever get outside your car in Keruger anywhere near an animal, to be approached and gauked at in the cabin was hugely interseting

its 10 miles off the tramacked road.potholes not too bad, 4 wheel drive not necessary

Ibhad a wonderful stay overall and truly enjoyed the experience. The food was exceptional – everything I had was absolutely delicious and exceeded my expectations. The staff were also very welcoming and helpful throughout my stay.

The only challenge I experienced was related to the activities. Most of the activities require guests to drive to other lodges, which are about an hour away. This meant spending a significant amount of time on the road, which became quite exhausting. Because of this, I was unfortunately unable to participate in some of the activities. Due to the exhaustion from traveling back and forth, I had to cancel one of the activities at the last minute. However, I was still billed for that activity even though I could not attend. I understand that cancellation policies may apply, but the distance and travel involved made it difficult to manage. In addition, about 10 km of the road leading to the lodge is gravel and not in very good condition, which requires a larger vehicle to travel comfortably. Since the lodge does not provide transfers to activity locations, guests need to use their own vehicles. It might be helpful for the lodge to consider offering a shuttle service for guests, especially for activities that take place at nearby lodges. This could make the experience more convenient and allow guests to fully enjoy all the activities without the stress and exhaustion of driving long distances. Apart from this, I truly appreciated the excellent food, friendly staff, and overall hospitality during my stay.
