The only way to visit Kruger Park.
The 3 day stay started with a elephant herd greeting. Facility reflects the African Spirit and has character. Very friendly staff, room was very comfortable. Breakfast buffet and evening buffet were both excellent, great choice of all kind of goodies. Lodge is soo close to the Kruger Park entry. Drive was good, guide could have given additional information.

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!
