"We had a recent family stay at the Grand Kruger Lodge in the family chalet. The property is nestled in Marloth Park surrounded by animals roaming around freely. The staff were so welcoming and helpful which made our stay even more memorable. The property is very well maintained and the food included in the half-board option was so delicious. We also booked massages at the spa which we thoroughly enjoyed. We joined the activities offered by the lodge which were well organized and enjoyable. Thank you for an epic Kruger visit!"

Kambaku River Lodge

Kambaku River Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"Our three-night stay at Kambaku River Lodge was nothing short of unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and hospitality from Garry that immediately set the tone for the entire experience. The lodge itself is beautifully designed, blending comfort with an authentic safari atmosphere. Our room was spacious, impeccably clean, and offered stunning views of Kruger National Park and the Crocodile River. We shared the outside space with a few nyalas who took little notice of us! Waking up to the sounds of nature each morning was truly special. What made the stay exceptional, however, was the incredible safari experience. The game drives were expertly guided, with Elvis, our knowledgeable ranger who went above and beyond to ensure we saw as much wildlife as possible while also educating us about the ecosystem. Both drives felt unique and exciting. The food was another highlight — consistently delicious, delivered to us by drumbeat, thoughtfully prepared, and enjoyed in a relaxed, scenic setting with a log burner adding to the special atmosphere. Dining under the stars added a magical touch to the evenings. Most of all, the staff made this trip memorable. Their attentiveness, friendliness, and passion for what they do created a welcoming and personal atmosphere throughout our stay. We left feeling relaxed, inspired, and already planning a return visit. Kambaku River Lodge is truly a special place, and we couldn’t recommend it more highly."

Kruger Park Hostel

Kruger Park Hostel

10/10 Excellent
"Best hostel in Kruger!!! Was upgraded to a private room at no additional cost, but also slept in the dorm room for a night and it was great! Rooms are clean, towels are provided, showers are strong, staff is very welcoming!!! People that stay here as guests are also friendly. Dinner is included and pretty good! But the highlight of it all was the 3-day camping trip to Kruger Park. It was my first one, so I didn’t know what to expect, but it was an AMAZING experience! Shoutout to our guide Robert who knew absolutely everything about all the animals in the park, definitely made the trip a lot more interesting!! 10/10 recommend staying here, will definitely be back!!"
