- "- Amazing room and view from the pool - World class food - all personal are exceptional (Don‘t forget to generously tip in the end as they well deserve it) - 2x safari drives were amazing (saw all big 5) - Everything was just perfect Thank you very much for this unforgettable experience" - "My wife and I stayed 5 nights. It surpassed my expectations in all aspects of our stay. The game drives are amazing. The private nature preserve experience, while a bit expensive, turned out to be a good value. This preserve is adjacent to the park and the wildlife has unfettered access to both. The level of intimacy in the wildlife viewing just cannot be appreciated until you experience it. I do not think you could get this in a simple excursion into Krueger Park itself where you are limited to the public roads. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and personable. The food, accommodations, and service were all excellent. One afternoon the elephants dug up the water lines from the well. The staff worked thru the night to restore service by morning. Even this added to the adventure."

- "The best place we have ever stayed! Staff were brilliant from the second we arrived, and made us feel very welcome. The food was exceptional at breakfast, lunch and dinner and the portions were very generous. The lodges themselves were spacious and clean and the huge bath was a treat. The decking area was also great and we were lucky enough to see a herd of elephants just metres away one afternoon. Most importantly we loved the game drives - we were guided by Devine who was so friendly and knowledgable about the different animals and bush in general, we learnt so much. We were very lucky to have seen the big five as well as so much more."
