The employees were very friendly and helpful. They drove me to several attractions when unable to confirm space with a group. The lodge has a water hole where various wildlife come to drink including 4 beautiful water bucks. Room was spacious and included outdoor shower. Bed was very comfortable. Continental or full breakfast served daily and dinner was also served on several nights for nominal price.

Best experience under the sun ☀️

From check in service was quick given a quick brief. The lodge is extremely clean with comfortable beds. The animals roaming around made the experience worthwhile.

Lodge Exceptionnel - Accueil - Qualité - Environ

Propriétaires charmants vraiment dévoués et de très bon conseils sur les activités entre autre. Lodge de moins d'un an et demi, prestations vraiment de qualité, avec terrasse individuelle. Peuvent proposer dîner également de qualité. À conseiller les yeux fermés.

mitten im Busch - ein Naturerlebnis

Man muss zuerst das Gate zum Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate passieren, dann ist die Lodge jedoch nicht ganz einfach zu finden. Luca, ein wunderbarer Gastgeber, hat uns sofort freundlich empfangen. Am Abend wurde für uns ein typisch und sehr gutes italienisches Essen gekocht. Auch das Frühstück war sehr gut. Wir fühlten uns die ganze Zeit sehr persönlich betreut und erfuhren auch einiges über die Wildtiere, die wir hautnah erleben konnten.

Bush but not much else

The lodge is open to the Bush. There is no protective fence. I would not recommend sitting on your patio at night unless you are ok with Bush conditions. Lights outside are turned off at night from around 8pm. We booked for 7 nights but only stayed for 5.
