Die Lodge war perfekt als Ausgangspunkt für Safaris im Kruger Nationalpark geeignet. Wir haben auch die Tour über Sefapane gebucht und mit Donald einen herausragenden Guide bekommen. Sehr empfehlenswert. Die Unterkunft selbst könnte an ein paar Stellen kleinere Schönheitskorrekturen vertragen, aber alles im Rahmen. Einzig als Vegetarier wird das Essen schnell eintönig. Wir würden aber jederzeit wieder kommen, vor allem um den Kruger vom ruhigeren zentralen Gate zu erkunden.

I have been staying here for nearly 30 years and was quite disappointed with my recent stay. There was constant music being played at the pool/restaurant area very loudly almost 24/7 and the music wasn’t appropriate for a lodge with swearing and explicit sexual lyrics. I asked the barman to turn it down a number of times but he kept gradually turning it back up. It was so loud it was difficult to hold a conversation. This experience would make me think twice about going back. Also, there was a kettle in the room and some rusks but no tea or coffee??

Me olimme erittäin tyytyväisiä. Hyvää ja ystävällistä palvelua. Kaunis, aidattu, turvallinen alue. Mahdollisuus osallistua erilaisille safareille, jotka olivat mielestämme kohtuuhintaisia. Ruoka oli hyvää. Emme poistuneet hotellin alueelta muuten kuin safarin ajaksi.

Ich würde es noch Mal buchen
Die Anlage ist sehr schön angelegt. Es gibt Zwei kleine Pools eine Poolbar und mehrere Teiche. Es war immer sauber und ruhig, das Personal stets zuvorkommend und freundlich. Wir haben vorher drei Safari-Touren per E-Mail im Hotel gebucht. Alle drei haben stattgefunden, obwohl an zwei davon nur insgesamt drei Personen Teil genommen haben. Am besten gefiel mir der Sunset Game Drive. Er geht über drei Stunden und wir könnten sehr viele Tiere sehen. Am Tag darauf haben wir eine „Full-day-Safari“ gemacht. Diese fängt bereits um 6 Uhr morgens an und endet erst um 16 Uhr. Aufgrund der Frühe, konnten wir nich an dem Frühstück teilnehmen, dennoch wurde vom Hotelpersonal Kaffee und eine Kleinigkeit für uns bereit gestellt. Trotz mehrerer Pausen fand ich die Tour zu lang. Ich würde beim nächsten Mal kürzere Game Drives buchen. Am letzten Tag haben wir einen Morning Bushwalk gebucht. Dieser fängt schon um fünf Uhr morgens an und dauert vier Stunden. Hier sieht man zwar nicht viele Tiere und wenn, dann nur vom Weitem. Dennoch erfährt man einiges über das Spurenlesen, Pflanzen und Insekten. An diesem Tag haben wir es das einzige Mal zum Frühstücksbüffet geschafft. Es gab eine große Auswahl an verschiedenen Sachen und war sehr lecker. Ich würde das Frühstück immer wieder dazu buchen, man sollte jedoch aufpassen, dass es sich nicht mit den Safari-Touren überschneidet. Es war insgesamt ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt in der Anlage. Und der Krüger Nationalpark ist in nächste Nähe.
