Erika and Luca did a wonderful job helping us organize tours. We were a group of 8 and we spent an unforgettable 4 nights here. They were fantastic hosts and their food was delicious. We didn’t have to worry about a thing. ##### Kayla M. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### nathan j. 30 Nov 2018 #### it was awesome, a great facility. warm pool to swim in, great facility. we didn't see a ton of animals from the lodge, but we spent the day in Kruger and saw the big 5 and a whole lot more. it was great to chill here. the pool was great and warm. the only thing...make sure you have a 4x4 for the road. I had a rental minivan and thought I was going to kill it. ##### nathan j. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gemma H. 15 Jul 2018 #### Amazing and Wonderful! We had the most INCREDIBLE stay with Erika and Luca at Elephant Game Lodge. We got lost on the way but Erika was on hand to help us arrive and we were met at the gate by Luca. On arrival at the lodge, dinner was being cooked, the fire was blazing on the boma and the wine was chilled and ready. Erika and Luca treated us like kings and we were very spoiled. we ate, laughed and chatted all week. The lodge itself was gorgeous, big airy rooms and wonderful decor with thoughtful touches. The area around the lodge stunning, it felt like African paradise. Local game drives arranged by Erika and Luca were wonderful too, we saw lots of boys, plus a herd of elephants and many giraffe! We cannot WAIT to come back and I am just about to email Erika to try to book again for a few years time... PERFECTION! ##### Gemma H.

Situé dans une reserve parfaitement securisée, aucun voisin , on se sent au bout du monde , juste dans la nature . La villa est époustouflante , spacieuse , confortable , avec un wifi de haute qualité !! Il y a toujours quelqu un à la maison pour vous aider : Max ou Marius . Petit dej exceptionnel , avec vos propres gôuts . Possibilitée de demi ou pension complete . Ménage quotidien . La piscine est fabuleuse , à debordement , vue sur le bush. Tous les soirs , un petit feu . C etait encore mieux que ce qui etait prevu . Un endroit gravé pour toujours dans ma memoire . Je recommande vivement un minimum de 3 nuits , en dessous c est extremement frustrant .... On devrait surtout dire au proprietaire : merci de nous permettre de louer cet endroit fabuleux ##### Isabelle D.
