Room 303, on ground floor of Buffalo Lodge is a fair hike from the main building which houses restaurant, bar, reception, deck viewing area and lounge with FREE internet. The bedroom was tired looking and the furnishings looked grubby and the linens grey, so too did the thin towels in the bathroom which also needed a refurb of the tiles... more

I have recently stayed at this hotel as part of a Virgin Holidays group trip, and can say that the hotel was fantastic! Lovely spacious rooms with great facilities. (Most rooms are little half houses... with own patio and sun loungers). The hotel and grounds are lovely. Very clean and tidy, and 2 nice pool areas. The restaurant overlooking the... more

I booked this hotel at the last minute - at the tale end of a business trip. Although more expensive then some of the packaged deals, Pestana provided a convenient way to see Kruger at the last moment. Stayed 3 nights, and was able to book tours into the park without problem (though a few packages were sold out) The... more

Nice hotel with a beautful large deck overlooking Crocodile river. Reception personnel is friendly and very helful in arranging activities. Rooms are small, basic - ask for the ones overlooking the river. Hotel has a small spa but facilities are not taking care of so I would not recommend using them. Hotel has a bar and a restaurant serving breakfast... more

Firstly, if you want to stay here make sure you're in the Lion or Leopard suites or don't bother. The Buffalo accommodation is some considerable distance from the lodge and steeply uphill, not recommended for older travellers or those with young kids. Get hold of them beforehand to make sure you have a clear river view, otherwise you'll feel you're... more

Various room types are available. To have the river view a delux room must be booked, and not a standard room which is at a lower rate.

Pestana Kruger Lodge is a marvellous place on the bench of Crocodile River, and accross the river you have the famous Kruger National Park. That close. On a 0-5 scale I'll give 10 stars for the fantastic panorama from Pestanas balcony where to see exciting "safaris" passing by when not being in Kruger to pass by yourself. One day 35... more

A sad and tired lodge. We stayed in Lodge for one night, just as well as it was a dissapointment. The rooms are tired and dated. Came with 2 teenagers and not a suitable place. There is much better value for money around the area. Not to return! more
