"An unforgettable safari experience with exceptional guides, incredible wildlife, outstanding hospitality, and memories t"

10.0

Our stay at Greenfire Game Lodge was one of the absolute highlights of our trip to South Africa. From the moment we were picked up at the airport in an open-air safari vehicle for the scenic one-hour drive to the lodge, the adventure had already begun. The lodge is beautiful and perfectly blends comfort with an authentic bush experience. Every detail makes you feel immersed in nature without sacrificing luxury. A special thank you to our guide, Given, who made our safari unforgettable. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about the wildlife. He answered every question and was always understanding when our family occasionally ran a little behind for the early morning drives. The lodge offers two game drives each day, each lasting over three hours, giving you plenty of opportunities to experience the incredible wildlife. We watched elephants wander through the lodge, had a hyena that loved hanging out near the walkway, and saw every member of the Big Five. The buffalo was the last on our list, and we finally spotted them on our drive back to the airport, making the experience feel complete. The food was outstanding, and every meal was delicious. One of our favorite memories came unexpectedly when the power went out one evening. Rather than being an inconvenience, the lodge was lit by candlelight, our family played cards, and we enjoyed getting to know another wonderful family staying there. It ended up being one of the most memorable nights of our trip. Greenfire is more than a safari lodge. It's an unforgettable experience filled with incredible wildlife, exceptional hospitality, and moments you'll remember for a lifetime. We left with amazing memories and can't wait to return.

"Safari et séjour de rêve au Greenfire Game Lodge"

10.0

Séjour de rêve au Greenfire Game Lodge! Rien à redire, tout était parfait, la localisation parfaite au bord de la rivière, le logement très confortable, le personnel adorable et toujours serviable, les safaris au top grâce à Selbi (un grand merci!!!). Safari dès le matin 6h jusqu’à 9h, puis safari du soir de 16h à 19h avec apéro et retour en safari nocturne. Hormis le léopard nous avons vu tous les animaux et notamment ceux du big five. Le logement sur pilotis avec les larges baies vitrées, la terrasse donnant sur la rivière nous donnait vraiment l’impression de dormir à la belle étoile en plein bush. Quant aux repas ils étaient parfait, petit déjeuner complet et copieux, déjeuner sous forme de buffet et dîner juste délicieux! Nous n’avons qu’une hâte avoir la chance d’y retourner!

"Parfaite déconnexion"

10.0

Tout était parfait Le service et la chambre étaient incroyables. Le personnel a été aux petits soins du début jusqu'à la fin. La nourriture était excellente et copieuse, nous n'avons manqué de rien. Les safaris avec Given étaient tout aussi formidables grace à son professionnalisme, sa gentillesse et son envie de partager ses connaissances. Nous avons pu voir les Big five et de nombreux animaux en seulement 2 jours (girafe, zebre, oiseaux, hippo, hyènes..)

"Schöne Unterkunft aber enttäuschende Game Drives."

7.0

Die Bewertung fällt mir sehr schwer, da die Erfahrung in der Lodge Höhen und Tiefen hatte. Die Lodge ist modern, hat eine tolle Lage am trockenen Flussbett, die Zimmer sind komplett verglast (man kann allerdings von draußen auch reinschauen) und die jeweiligen Terrassen sind einmalig, das Essen ist sehr gut und die Mitarbeiter sehr freundlich. ABER

Die Game Drives finden nicht in einem offenen Geländewagen statt, sondern sind überdacht. Zudem wird nur auf Wegen gefahren und kein Offroad, was andere Lodges im Unkreis machen. Das führt sehr schnell zu Frustration, wenn andere dicht an die Tiere fahren, man selbst ein Fernglas benötigt. Insgesamt waren sehr wenige (und meist nur aus weiter Entfernung) Tiere auf den Game Drives zu sehen (im Vergleich zu 8 anderen Lodges unserer Reise). Unser Guide hat das bestmögliche versucht, viel erklärt und tolle Sundowner Plätze ausgesucht. Die Nebenkosten wie Getränkepreise sind im Vergleich deutlich höher. Leider hört man mehrmals täglich und auch Nachts den Kohle Güterzug vorbeifahren.

"Estadia incrível, experimenta fantástica e a equipe sensacional!"

10.0

A receptividade da equipe, a alegria em nos receber, o lugar é simplesmente incrível, a Carol um amor e sempre que vê os elefantes sente a mesma emoção que da para ver o brilho em seus olhos e como é contagiante isso! Ao chega para o quarto, para nossa maravilhosa surpresa tinha um elefante na porta, como foi maravilhosa essa experiência, quarto muito grande, todo de vidro e todas as noites tinham chocolatinhos nos travesseiros para nós. Ah, e claro, café da manhã, almoços e jantares magníficos!

Impossível não gostar de algo!
