It’s the perfect mix of relaxing and luxurious, with a spa, full-service restaurant, and amenities that make you never want to leave. But what truly set this place apart was how much they care about guest safety. It reminded me of my teen years when your parents wanted every detail before a date 😅 When our tour guides arrived, the resort logged their vehicle info and took a...

"The property was really clean and had good amount of towel plates cutleey etc. the major issue we had was that the roof was leaking everywhere in most rooms. One of the beds was wet and we slept with water dripping next to us the enter night. When I raised it with the reception, there was no apology for the inconvenience but only stating that it was the thatched roof. If they know about the leaks, they should maintain the roof."

"Very nice and clean house in Kruger Parke Lodge with enough space for 5, even 6 persons. 3 bathrooms. Washing mashine and dryer worked well, at least during non-load-sheeding times. The beds were a bit inconvenient for us. Probably because of its thatched roof, the house smelled a little like a horse stable. Some maintenance work in the building during our stay, but this was announced. One needs to be aware that the house is not close to the main area with reception, restaurant and pool. Most...
