We had an amazing stay over the last week! It was excellent from the moment we started communicating with “Relax - the reservations agent at the hotel” to the drivers meeting and taking us to the airport “Deon and Abe” and each and everyone of them were amazing hospitable. Arriving at the hotel and going through the Kruger Park itself to get to the hotel is an experience in itself that’s second to none. The food and beverage was exceptional and above all authentic and consistent! Musa was our assigned F&B server in the Lapa at dinners and always had our table ready with a smile and knew exactly what we wanted and when we needed it - Thanks Musa! Sarah was also great! Arranging all that we required with our tours and hotel details with precision and professionalism and Amos was the most amazing safari tour guide and driver. We were able to see the ENTIRE BIG 5 in one morning tour which was truly a highlight for us all. The kids absolutely loved it! Thanks to everyone who had a hand in our truly memorable stay. We will be back! Read less

Themba spent so much time answering my youngest daughter's questions, he was so patient and knowledgeable about the park and the animals. Thank you. Our evenings were made even better by Lindy, our server, who was an absolute joy. Reconcile did a great job standing in for Lindy on her day off, thanks again. And mishack looked after us at the pool bar, attentive and always there to make sure we were topped up. We can't thank you enough, your team made our holiday complete. Read less

I highly recommend this hotel. I stayed here for two days with my family, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time. The overall ambience, atmosphere, and service were excellent. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Our room was spotless, and the bed sheets were crisp and fresh. The dinner buffet was impressive, offering a wide variety of game meat. One of the highlights was sitting at the poolside bar during sunset—you might even see animals coming close to greet you. Be sure to find Lucrition at the bar—she was especially warm and welcoming to us. Read less
