Pros: Free Game drives; half boards options; wild life viewing on your backyard; restaurant staff are very friendly. Cons: have to bring your free water from your room to the rrstaurant because it's not free while dining in. Early check out at 1000, can request later check out but it's additional 600 per hour; no conditioners only shampoo and body wash available; robes are rough; you can not view your TV from the beds.

Our family of 2x adults and 2x kids aged 14 and 9 stayed for 5 nights in January. We had such a great time - Joseph was a sensational ranger and a character also - managed to find us almost everything obscure we asked about on our last drive. Also Tito / Tato (?) gave a really interesting snake demo - I've seen a few of these before elsewhere but his was really great and he was very patient afterwards with my kids holding the snakes. Clearly he is passionate about his snakes! That said, all the staff were pleasant and friendly. The rooms were great. Comfortable, clean albeit somewhat dated. And the buffet food was great, variety and plentiful. Thanks Kwa Maritane - we'd love to be back one day!

Not "luxury", but excellent game drives

I was excited to take my family to a malaria free safari, high quality / luxury experience for our 2 weeks in South Africa. That the game drive, breakfast, and dinner were bundled made things easier. We loved the game drives - the rangers were knowledgeable- especially the ranger on day 2 who had maneuver through mother natures rain and who helped two other rangers with vehicle issues. We say the big 5, and I like that there's a pause for a snack about 2 hours in. I expected "luxury" - the lodge boasts about its food and dinner both nights was not great. Day 1 - there was a mad rush of people and the buffet was untidy with food caked on many of the serving utensils, and food dripped from one pot into another. Day 2 was better - fewer people and they had a few servers at the carving station. I think they could keep it more tidy and "luxury" by having people serve the buffet food instead of self serve. I also did not like that water and soft drinks were treated as add on charges. Please just include this in the price - this felt "nickel and dime" - and far from luxury. Breakfast was good - though I would have liked tea and coffee to be ready to go vs the 10 minutes it took to receive anything at breakfast. And helpful if water was available. I had pedicure with polish and the person providing the service cut me a few times, and the polish was not polished in the end. She seemed incensed when she bumped my not dry nails and I asked her to redo.

Stayed here 18 years or so ago before the fire. We felt that nothing has changed, it was looking tired. The dinning was limited, our 14 year old daughter couldn’t really find much she liked. We were there 2 nights which for us was enough. The staff were excellent.

Not a 4 star game lodge

This was a 70 birthday get away. Sadly I did nothing for the first three nights about the thatch and insects falling on the bed. The third night was impossible with rats sweeping and rat dropping on the bed. Our last night was what we had expected. Food good except for the stale bread and bread rolls. For a quite get away this place should be avoided, uncontrolled kids messed dining badly

The restaurant around the watering hole is outstanding. It has a beautiful view of the area, with occasional elephants and other animals that make it unforgettable. The buffets were great, the staff were friendly and the rooms and facilities were clean and pleasant. I’ve stayed at several places around the Pilanesburg and Kwa Maritane is by far my favourite.

Magnífico, mas peca no básico 😢

A estrutura social do hotel é magnífica, os funcionários muito simpáticos e bem treinados, a comida boa e o esconderijo para ver os animais fantástico. Uma baita obra de engenharia que errou no básico, o quarto 136 que ficamos é fedido e o banheiro sem nenhuma ventilação (sem janela e sem ventoinha). O odor da fossa ecoava em todo o quarto por conta disso. O wi-fi não é free como dizem, como estávamos trabalhando tivemos que renovar a senha várias vezes, algumas delas no intervalo de 2 horas. Péssimo. Depois de algumas renovações o acesso ficou lento. Foi o primeiro hotel no mundo que isso aconteceu com a gente.
