What an incredible place! The staff treat you like family and nothing is too much trouble. Excellent food and service set in a beautifully curated hotel on the river bank. We were spoiled every day with Elephant, Hippos, bush buck, warthog and nyala eating and drinking directly in front of the hotel. Sipping a cocktail and watching these beautiful creatures was a daily highlight!

Somewhat disappointed from previous great experie

Been coming back to this place atleast once a year because of their implacable hospitality and great service for the last 12 years. This time around though I was disappointed. Reception just gave is the keys without checking if we know where our rooms were and no offer to assist us with our baggage. The next day, we realised the bathtub was not cleaned. Yes I’d cleaned it but not perfectly the night before and had expected them to do a proper job the next morning but was utterly disappointed that it wasn’t. The food was still great, rooms looked great though. Just the bathtub and basins in room 420 need stopper changes. The water leaks while you bath.

The staff was attentive and helpful to our needs and made sure we were comfortable at all times. The game tours are amazing and I enjoyed seeing some of the big 5! I do recommended doing an afternoon tour as well as an all day tour. The food options were ok enjoyed breakfast more than dinner. The resort is wonderful and I was able to see a Hurd of elephants by the pool before sunset. I would recommend this place to others and stay here again if I am in Kruger!

Wonderful stay

Our stay was wonderful. The hotel blends into the jungle environment for nicely. Even though the baboons are noisy running on the roofs in the morning, it is fun to see them and the other monkeys playing all around the resort. The buffets had a larger variety of options with different options at each night. We had friends who were celebrating an anniversary while there and the singing staff were incredible with their version of a happy anniversary song! The only thing what would have been nicer was if the pool was warmer (the pool that overlooks the river is shaded and quite cool and cloudy). But we had an absolutely wonderful stay at a beautiful resort.
