It was a nice hotel, not too big, close to one entrance to the park. The food was good. Trees were beautiful. One can see elephants and other animals from the pool bar. The main problem is that their safaris, or park tours, are too expensive, much more expensive than those organized by the park. But the vehicles are confortable, and drivers nice and helpful.

The resort being right by the main entrance to Kruger National Park makes it a great spot to book safari tours of the park. Dining was fine, but would benefit from more selections à la carte.

Great family-/child-friendly hotel adjacent to Kruger Gate, making it super convenient for safaris (5am departure = 530am wildlife sightings!). Pool view is stunning, and a further kids pool make it pleasant and entertaining for kids. Staff were super attentive to ensure our stay was pleasant! The dinner buffet was incredible!

We stopped at this hotel as part of our honeymoon. Amazing hotel. Straight away you feel welcomed and comfortable. The staff are very helpful. The room was lovely and it was decorated for our honeymoon with a bottle of bubbly and petals. The facilities were great with two pools and loads of other activities on site. The food was a buffet style but with so much choice and delicious fresh food. It was a great experience eating outside. We booked a morning safari tour which was incredible. We saw so much wildlife and the guide was so helpful and informative (went in August). We would definitely come back again it was an amazing first safari experience.
