Very satisfactory hotel excepts for the spa, very disappointing. We would like to say a big thanks and congratulation for costumer experience to DEBRAH. She is a sunshine in this hotel thanks to its humour, its livelyhood and its smile. It is a high professional and she is a game changer for this hotel to become a luxury one.

We love this hotel! It is our second time here and we will definitely be coming back for future Kruger holidays. All the staff are very kind and welcoming. They also really cater for all ages. This place makes the Kruger outings so much more memorable. Would highly recommend!
