May you please enjooyyyy!
Precious ist der Star der Küche und zaubert ein faszinierendes Dinner (das Kudu Filet war exzellent) auf den Tisch. Die Lodge ist im Übrigen sehr angenehm und auch für einen relaxing day geeignet. Kurze Fahrtzeit bis zum Crocodile Gate des Krüger Park. Sehr persönlicher und netter Kontakt mit dem Team mit guten Gesprächen Ann Feuer. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Maqueda Lodge: uma experiência inigualável!
Ficar hospedado no Maqueda Lodge é algo ímpar. Foram momentos os quais eu e minha esposa lembraremos com muita saudade. O anfitrião, David, não poderia ser mais simpático e atencioso. O hotel é extremamente elegante e bem decorado. Cada aspecto é cuidado de maneira minuciosa. O quarto superou nossas expectativas em termos de conforto e espaço. Da mesma forma, o café da manhã e o jantar merecem muitos elogios. Especialmente o jantar é agradabilíssimo, com a presença de quase todos os hóspedes numa grande mesa. É uma excelente oportunidade para confraternizar e fazer novas amizades com pessoas de diversos cantos do mundo. A localização do Lodge também é ótima. Além de ficar a alguns minutos de carro do Kruger Park (em sua entrada pela Crocodile Bridge), você pode optar por tirar um momento do dia para fazer uma breve caminhada até o "Lookout Point" do Crocodile River (onde é quase certo que você irá presenciar alguns animais perto do rio). Por fim, quanto ao safári disponibilizado pelo Maqueda, não poderia faltar elogios. Nosso guia (James) é verdadeiramente apaixonado pelo que faz! Conseguimos ver praticamente todos os principais animais do Kruger Park graças à enorme disposição de James, que ainda nos trazia alguns interessantes esclarecimentos sobre a fauna local. Enfim: passar alguns dias no Maqueda é poder desfrutar momentos incríveis e ter uma experiência inigualável! Parabéns, David! Obrigado a todos do Maqueda Lodge! Se Deus permitir, um dia voltaremos!

Erstklassige Lodge
In dieser Lodge ist alles perfekt. Die Gastgeber und das Personal sind sehr freundlich und immer hilfsbereit. Die Zimmer sind gross und sauber. Die Lage ist optimal für Ausflüge in den Krügerpark. Die Lodge organisiert die Ausflüge selber zu einem sehr guten Preis. Wir können Rick als Safari Guide wärmstens empfehlen. Das inbegriffene Abendessen und Frühstück war ausgezeichnet. Insgesamt war alles perfekt und dies bei einem unschlagbaren Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Die Gäste sind sehr international, was den Aufenthalt sehr spannend machte. Einer der Gastgeber, Etienne, spricht mehrere Sprachen fliessend, z.B. Deutsch, Französisch, Englisch, Afrikaans und wahrscheinlich noch viele weitere. Zudem ist er ein "Profi"-Opernsänger welcher beim Abendessen sein Talent den Gästen präsentiert. Wir kommen wieder!
