"kleine "Boutique"-Lodge mit absoluter Wohlfühl-Qualität"

10.0

From the moment we arrived and were given such a warm welcome, we knew we’d made the right choice with this beautiful lodge. A handful of round houses nestle within a beautifully landscaped, lush garden that surrounds the cosy dining area with its fire pit. Behind this lies a communal pavilion with a lounge and library. Here, you can settle in and enjoy a welcome drink whilst checking in and receiving an introduction to the lodge and its activities. At the edge of the lodge, there is a terrace with sun loungers and a fantastic view over the valley with the river. We had a large herd of elephants strolling right past us. Be sure to bring binoculars – there’s plenty to see even from there. And the staff were happy to serve us dinner there too. The round huts seem larger on the inside than they do from the outside. There’s even room for a bathtub, in addition to the shower and double washbasins. Of course, there are more luxurious accommodations, but nothing is lacking, and the charm is second to none. Before bedtime, the beds are made up and mosquito nets put in place. Even on the day of departure, the room is tidied and the beds made to make packing easier. The meals were delicious across the board (we are self-confessed foodies), and individual requests were catered for at all times. The safaris were a fantastic experience. There were six of us and we had a vehicle to ourselves; no more than six people ever sit in one vehicle. Our guide Wienand ‘Eagle Eyes’ looked after us brilliantly. The wildlife is abundant here. Elephants everywhere, even very, very close by. A herd of over two hundred buffalo right next to our vehicle. Hippos, various antelopes, giraffes, monkeys, wild dogs and hyenas. Unfortunately, we didn’t see any big cats, but they are there, as photos taken by a couple we met here prove. Of course, there’s no ‘zoo ticket’... Many thanks to our hosts and the fantastic staff. We would come back any time! (copy&paste von meiner TripAdvisor-Bewertung...)

Ausser, dass wir zu gerne Großkatzen gesehen hätten (wie gesagt - es gibt keine Zoo-Eintrittskarte) - nichts!

"Schöne Lodge mit abenteuerlicher Anfahrt, leider sehr wenig Tiere gesehen"

7.0

Das Essen war sehr nett angerichtet und immer sehr lecker. Man kann zwischen zwei Gerichten wählen. Die Ranger sind bei den Game Drives sehr bemüht, nur leider gibt es im nördlichen Teil des Kruger NP derzeit wohl nicht sehr viele Tiere. Letztes Jahr im Sabie Sands haben wir viel mehr gesehen und sind sehr viel näher an die Tiere herangekommen.

Die Portionen des Essens waren sehr klein.

Os funcionários fazem o ambiente/hotel ser melhor do que ele já é. Todos são extremamente educados e prestativos. Não medem esforços pra te ver bem. O quarto tem dois ambientes, quarto e banheiro. O quarto é relativamente pequeno, mas super confortável. A área do banheiro já é maior, um ótimo espaço. O hotel é super agradável, vista pro lago, balanço, piscina, tudo ótimo. O serviço de maneira geral é ótimo. No meio tempo entre os games drives você fica super a vontade no hotel, aproveitando toda a paz e até algumas bebidas que eles oferecem. As comidas são muito boas, em todas as refeições, eles dão duas opções por refeição e você escolhe a que mais te agradar e é super bem feita. Sobre o Safari: é muito legal! Sair a procura dos animais na casa deles, seguir os rastros, vê-los de perto e ouvir as curiosidades sobre cada um do guia é muito bom. Importante: controle as expetativas em relação a ver muitos animais pois é totalmente imprevisível. Você pode não ver nada, como ver tudo no mesmo dia. Um dia vimos apenas girafas e elefantes, em outro vimos o rinoceronte e o leões, então pode acontecer tudo, inclusive nada e entendo que isso vale pra qualquer hotel dentro da savana. Mas nosso guia sempre se esforçou muito pra encontrarmos todos os animais o que foi um ponto alto pra nós.

Infelizmente tivemos problemas com nosso banheiro. De maneira geral percebemos que toda a África do Sul tem problemas de hidráulica, mas nesse hotel especificamente se espera um qualidade melhor. Quando usamos a banheira e parece que a água voltou pelo cano e inundou o box do chuveiro e junto com uma espécie de lama preta. Relatamos o problema e foi prontamente consertado. Ainda a temperatura do chuveiro era bem instável, ia do super quente pro frio do nada em segundos, tivemos dificuldade em ajustar. Sobre o safári: se você tem interesse no Bush Walk tenha em mente que nem sempre será possível fazer. Vai depender da quantidade de pessoas que tiver no carro. Também senti falta do tal “ranger” no carro, que ajuda o motorista a encontrar os animais. Sem ele o motorista fica “sobrecarregado”.

"overpriced and not much to see"

5.0

it is a cute little lodge, there is a nice book area and a little pool. some people of the staff are nice.

so, rooms are very tight. there is no space for luggage or anything. food was not so good. the area of klaserie is a very bushy, dense one, so, you do not see much comparing to other areas. roads are very very rocky. so, i don t know, but for what you get its overpriced in my opinon. also their transfers are highly overpriced. i just think there are nicer places in Klaserie where you can stay.

Tutto perfetto, dalla location allo staff, ai game drive ai pasti. Raramente sono stato in un posto che ti fa sentire così coccolato senza risultare mai invasivo o stucchevole. Super raccomandato. Un grazie speciale a Darren e Misty

Niente, era tutto perfetto
