Traveller Reviews on Kruger National Park

Motswari Private Game Reserve

5 of 5 stars
Hertfordshire
1 Jan 2009

From the very start of our trip to South Africa I could not wait to get to Motswari.....and I was not disappointed. We arrived in darkness and were greeted at the 'gate' by the guys that would walk us safely (as it is an open camp) to our accomodation. Our rooms were gorgeous - very elegant, subtle and immaculate with... more

Kambaku Safari Lodge

5 of 5 stars
Edinburgh, Scotland
30 Dec 2008

I recently spent 3 wonderful nights at the Kambaku Lodge and couldn't have asked for anything more. The game drives were excellent; our ranger (Neville) and tracker (Arnold) were both knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We managed to see all of the big 5 except the leopard (we saw rhino, hippo, lion and buffalo) alongwith numerous other animals including zebra, giraffe, antelope,... more

30 Dec 2008

Naledi, Balule 18th-20th December, 2008 I came from Paradise Camp where I joined a volunteer project to Naledi Bushcamp and thought to myself: "What´s following to Paradise?". I know the answer now - I came from Paradise to Heaven. I was the only guest and I enjoyed everything the great view of the own waterhole, breakfast, lunch, diner and the... more

Lukimbi Safari Lodge

5 of 5 stars
London
23 Dec 2008

My parents and I had a fantastic stay at Lukimbi....a true paradise tucked away in a lovely concession of Kruger. To summarise my review in a few words I would say that - the property is absolutely lovely, the individual lodges beautifully maintained, the staff superb, the chef should be given a Michelin Star and the rangers and trackers are... more

Serondella Game Lodge

5 of 5 stars
Oberhausen
23 Dec 2008

We spent 2 nights in the Serondella Lodge and it is like heaven on earth. The rooms are extremly clean, the breakfast, lunch and dinner are very tasteful and good. Vivian and Marco are running this place and both are very kind and speak fluently german. The game drives we had together with Marco, the Ranger and his trackfinder Ramson.... more

23 Dec 2008

Words don't come close to describing this place. myself and my fiance(more about that later) her sister and her partner went for 4 nights at the start of november and from the very start we were just overwhelmed with the hospitality, the service and the friendliness of the place. you are made to feel so welcome by every one. Robbie... more

Jock Safari Lodge

5 of 5 stars
Manchester
22 Dec 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

We stayed at Jock's for 3 nights in Nov 08 as part of our honeymoon and cannot fault the stay at all. The room was fantastic, with a great view out onto the riverbed - we saw rhino, elephant and others from our balcony. The food was outstanding - far better than we had expected given the location of the... more

Umlani Bushcamp

1 of 5 stars
unitied kingdom
22 Dec 2008

We stayed in Umlani for 3 nights towards the end of October. Despite the website promising no more than 16 people in camp there were 25. We were told this was due to the owner not wanting to dissapoint the regulars. The food was terrible. On two of the three nights we were offered chicken and despite filling in all... more

Skukuza Restcamp - Kruger National Park

4 of 5 stars
Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
21 Dec 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

I stayed here for two nights in December 2008 as part of a package for a safari tour. It was the third place I stayed in South Africa and based on my experiences up to that point I had fairly low expectations. I stayed in a round bungalow with conical thatched roof - there were three single beds with an... more

Hamiltons Tented Camp

21 Dec 2008

Hamilton's was by far the most luxurious, comfortable resort I have ever visited. The tents were not really tents, but well constructed rooms separated from each other, but connected by a raised walkway. You will not feel in danger at all. The rooms are as beautiful as the pictures show, with extremely comfortable beds, claw footed deep bathtub, room is... more

Jackalberry Safari Lodge

19 Dec 2008

This place is great. I did expect it to be wonderful but it was just so much more than expected. The game viewing is amazing. It really seems too good to be true. I could go on and on. Everything is just wonderful. more

Motswari Private Game Reserve

18 Dec 2008

My husband and I just got back from a 2 week vacation in South Africa. We stayed at two different safari lodges in the Timbervarti reserve, so we have something to compare with Motswari. To give alittle background, my husband and I travel exstensively, and have travelled through Europe/carribean/North America. We generally stay at 4 to 5 star hotels, (i.e.... more

Burchell's Bush Lodge

4 of 5 stars
Calgary
18 Dec 2008

Stayed at Burchell's Bush Lodge via RCI exchange. Staff were fantastic - all very friendly and helpful. Our fridge quit, and one phone call later, manager was there and determined we needed another one, and 10 min. later, they delivered it. We spent most of our time driving through Kruger National Park in an air conditioned car. It was hot... more

Royal Malewane

4 of 5 stars
Koh Samui, Thailand
14 Dec 2008

This is a confident lodge that does what it does extremely well. We were greeted on arrival with a delicious drink but the grape kebab was perhaps not the best idea as it nearly took my eye out!! Also felt a bit of a ninny walking around with it. The common areas are splendid and overlook the watering hole. It... more

Tanda Tula

2 of 5 stars
London, UK
13 Dec 2008

We stayed at Tanda Tula in November. First the good points, which are all mentioned in the other reviews: the animals are great and there are plenty of them, the accommodation is wonderful, the staff are all very friendly and the food is great. Now onto the bad things: the rangers don't quite volunteer as much information as on other... more

Buffalo Camp

10 Dec 2008

We spent 4 nights at the Buffalo Camp at Kapama Lodge and we had the most wonderful time. It was a very friendly, relaxed place and we were made to feel at home immediately. The food was plentiful and out of this world and the staff friendly and very helpful. We had 2 safaris a day and the rangers (Warren... more

Pondoro Game Lodge

5 of 5 stars
Chicago Illinois
9 Dec 2008

Pondoro game lodge is an intimate, ultimate experience to dip your toe into South Africa. I was a first time visitor, and plan on going back...multiple times. The location was beautiful and amazing, right on the Oliphant river, where you would see elephants and hippos right outside your chalet door. The guides and trackers were personable, knowledgable, funny and always... more

Kwa-Mbili Game Lodge

7 Dec 2008

We have just returned from a three night stay at Kwa Mbili. It is an excellent Lodge and we were very well looked after. The guides were brilliant - they had an incredible knowledge about the animals, plants etc. The staff are very friendly - Matthew and Justine did a great job hosting and Neil took us on a very... more

Kariega Game Reserve

7 Dec 2008

Had a brilliant few days here. Accommodation is fantastic as is the food. All meals, drinks & wine were included. Breakfast & Evening meals are held on big tables in the dining area which makes it very social. If you wanted to be by yourself you could ask and I'm sure they will arrange this for you as the staff... more

Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge

6 Dec 2008

This was our last stay during a two week family holiday. The safari was fantastic with leopards and hippos and giraffes. Animals which we hadn't seen anywhere else. The room was beautiful; the guides friendly; the staff accomodating. Perfect! more
