This was the first stop of our trip to South Africa and I still miss it in retrospect.
It really exceeded expectations to meet such a hotel in Kruger.
At first, I felt that the hotel pictures were very good. I didn't expect the location to be very good. I often saw small animals walking slowly outside the fence. The experience was very special. (Comfortable forgot to take more photos hahaha)
Breakfast and dinner are delicious, the food is attentive, completely unfunctory.
The staff is also very friendly and sincere, making people feel taken care of rather than served.
The owner of the hotel gave us a lot of practical and pertinent suggestions, which helped us a lot.
The overall price is also very reasonable and the price is very high.
This is a place that people would like to go back to, highly recommended!!!

You can experience the best service.
You can prepare airport transfers, activities reservations, and meals. I had a fever on the second day of my stay and couldn't go to the safari I was planning, but Annie prepared breakfast and looked for a safari that I could book from the afternoon 🥹
The cottage is highly probable to meet animals, but I recommend the lodge near the reception. You can hear the hyena cry at night, so it's safer to move as little as possible when you go to eat. The lodge we stayed in is a type with a shower outside so it may be a bit cold in winter, but we were not particularly problematic. The room was clean and there were zebras and giraffes on the roadside when I went out during the day. It takes about 40 minutes by car from the airport to here. The road is not paved, so if you are easy to get drunk, bring your medicine.
This is the perfect place for nature lovers who also want real comfort and luxury. The lodge is exquisitely decorated and it was a pleasure to sit with a coffee and watch bush bucks, warthogs, kudu and all types of birds come into the garden. Walking around the lodge I came close to giraffes, zebras and more. It was breathtaking. I stayed for 2 blissful nights and enjoyed delicious home cooked meals, a wonderfully comfortable bed and hot baths each day. I hope to come back in future!
Everything was top-notch. We received a very warm welcome, and the grounds were beautiful and well-maintained. The rooms were cozy and had everything we needed. Tea, coffee, and water were available in unlimited supply throughout our stay. Two safaris were included in the room rate. Our guide (Sidney) did his best to show us the diverse wildlife of South Africa. Special thanks to the chefs – everything was delicious and cooked with passion, especially the evening barbecue. We also want to give a big shout-out to the manager who greeted us; she was always ready to help with our requests and resolve any issues. We would gladly return to you again because you gave us an unforgettable experience!
