Awesome!
What an amazing hotel. The rooms are lovely. Pre dinner drinks at the infinity pool area overlooking the Kruger Park is awesome. Dinner buffet is delicious with a large variety of food and the service was fantastic. Thank you for a great stay!

Wonderful stay
Our stay was wonderful. The hotel blends into the jungle environment for nicely. Even though the baboons are noisy running on the roofs in the morning, it is fun to see them and the other monkeys playing all around the resort.
The buffets had a larger variety of options with different options at each night. We had friends who were celebrating an anniversary while there and the singing staff were incredible with their version of a happy anniversary song!
The only thing what would have been nicer was if the pool was warmer (the pool that overlooks the river is shaded and quite cool and cloudy).
But we had an absolutely wonderful stay at a beautiful resort.

The only way to visit Kruger Park.
The 3 day stay started with a elephant herd greeting.
Facility reflects the African Spirit and has character.
Very friendly staff, room was very comfortable.
Breakfast buffet and evening buffet were both excellent,
great choice of all kind of goodies.
Lodge is soo close to the Kruger Park entry.
Drive was good, guide could have given additional information.

Great family-/child-friendly hotel adjacent to Kruger Gate, making it super convenient for safaris (5am departure = 530am wildlife sightings!). Pool view is stunning, and a further kids pool make it pleasant and entertaining for kids. Staff were super attentive to ensure our stay was pleasant! The dinner buffet was incredible!

The resort being right by the main entrance to Kruger National Park makes it a great spot to book safari tours of the park.
Dining was fine, but would benefit from more selections à la carte.
