Stunning lodge
Gorgeous lodge near Kruger with a pottery workshop on site. Bring your own dinner and you can relax around the fire at night and listen to the hyenas. Excellent breakfast and one morning an elephant appeared at the pond. Great service, lovely pool and friendly staff. If you are lucky the architect - Tom- May tell you the history of this beautiful spot. Our favourite in 2 months.

Great value for money
We stayed here during our visit to the Kruger Park. Accommodation was clean, comfortable and great value for money. I would definitely recommend having a car as there is no restaurant on site, however you do have the option to use the kitchen there. A lovely fresh breakfast is served in the morning and we were lucky enough to see a family of Warthogs going past.

Wat een geluk dat wij dit mee mochten maken!
In één woord: GEWELDIG! Wij kregen direct een upgrade aangeboden naar het luxe verblijf en daar hoefden we geen seconde over te twijfelen! Wat een heerlijkheid: uitzicht op het waterhole, kampvuur, braai, zeer goede keukenvoorzieningen en zeer vrieendelijk personeel.

Bed in the bush!
Een bijzondere ervaring om in the middle of nowhere te verblijven. Wees voorbereid dat je geen andere gasten/personeel in de buurt hebt. Je hoort dierenhuiden om je heen, we vonden het erg spannend in de nacht.
