    Comfortable Overnight
    Arriving at Kaia Tani I was greeted friendly. Check in was quick and was shown to my room. The very welcome air conditioner sorted out the moggy smell in the room since it was very hot. Very nice bathroom with towels and soap. A bottle of water will be very welcome. Very…

    Hello Anton. Thank you so much for your review. I would like to point out only: 1) Maybe new wood (because that room is new) and the hot weather created that particular "fragrance" 2) Yes, we forgot to ask you about dinner but it was been an exception because usually we ask our guests it till when they reply us. Sorry if we didn't reply to you but this was not for our mistake: you asked it to us by mail on 13.12.18 at 21.45 (for 14.12.18) and the day after we wasn't able to reply you because there wasn't power in Phalaborwa so we didn't have internet for checking our mail. Sorry for this. I'm sure that next time we'll ask you for dinner (like our habitude). :-) Thank you so much Anton and we wait you again. Kind Regards Paolo

    Very pleasant stay
    We had a very welcoming reception, this is a very well run establishment and we were very happy that we chose Kaia Tani. The italian owners are very helpful and friendly and we felt very welcome. Rooms are very comfortable, the only negative thing is that I asked them to put an…

    Excellent!!!
    The reception received was extraordinary. My wife and I stayed there for three nights and could not have chosen better. Comfortable and clean rooms, great food and plenty of it and the guys who run the structure are at the complete disposal of their customers! Definitely a place…

    AMAZING GUESTHOUSE
    We stayed in this Wonderful guest house in august 2018. The structure is plunged in the greeen land just a few minutes away from the Kruger National Park. The rooms are painstaking in the minimum details and never standardized. Large and tasty breakfast included in the price…

    Overnight stay
    The place is a pleasant overnight facility with helpful staff. Rooms are very tiny and no place to set up a PC to work except outside. Did not eat there as kitchen is closed on Monday. Great for a stopover, good value for money for what they offer.

    Hello Monica and thanks for your review but... are you sure it is for Kaia Tani? :-) Because there is a desk inside all OUR rooms (and WI-FI FREE in all guest house) and OUR restaurant is open 365/365! OUR chef cooks only fresh food so we ask (and always we inform our guests) a booking at least 24h before. Kind Regards Monica Paolo

    Ciao,avevo prenotato al Kaia Tani nel 2013 x 3 notti(ma avevo dovuto disdire x imprevisti familiari)e sapevo di poter fare il full day safari con il gestore alberto e la crociera sull'olifant con daniela.Ora so che la gestione è cambiata,vorrei riorganizzare il mio viaggio in sudafrica x il settembre 2017 e chiedevo se si possono ancora organizzare i safari con i nuovi gestori oppure ci si deve appoggiare(come leggevo in qualche recensione qui su TA) ancora sui vecchi gestori,che ora però so che gestiscono un'altra struttura. grazie x l'attenzione
    Ciao e scusa se rispondo solo ora. I nuovi proprietari sono amici e in contatto di Alberto e Daniela e si appoggiano a loro per i tour e se non trovano posto hanno comunque ottimo contatti con i ranger del parco! I vecchi proprietari hanno una nuova struttura molto più esclusiva e costosa ma il Kaia Tani merita! Io comunque ho fatto il safari con Alberto quindi se stai qualche giorno non avrai problemi chiedendolo esplicitamente!

    Buongiorno, vorrei sapere quanto costa il trattamento di mezza pensione (colazione e cena), o eventualmente, vorrei sapere quanto costa il menù proposto a cena. Grazie
    Vorrei sapere se le macchine con cui si fanno i game drive sono coperte o scoperte in modo da poter fotografare senza ostacoli? grazie mille!
    Effettuando full day preferisco avere un toyota land cruiser modificato 9 posti...tutti pero' ampiamente finestrati.. mai avuto problemi per le foto in 9 anni, ma assai piu' comodo..eventualmente per le eacursioni piu' brevi organizzate dai rangers si potra' avere un veicolo scoperto...
