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!

The hotel is very clean and comfortable. The food is all inclusive type of food, and also not what you ordered. The staff struggled to make specialty drinks..

Absolutely amazing!!
Séjour absolument parfait!! Nous y aurions séjourner beaucoup plus longtemps si l'itinéraire nous l'avais permis! Localisation idéale, service hors pair, buffet Booma dinner varié et excellent, restaurants incroyable (déjeuner), services et commodités diversifiés et accessibles (bar, gym, café, aide pour les tours/activittés, etc.). Je recommande fortement! :)
