The province has two airports serving visitors to the Kruger Park – Kruger Mbombela International Airport which is an hour’s drive from Kruger Gate and Skukuza Airport located in the Park, just a 20 minute drive.

Guest Reviews

(Translated by Google) Everything was absolutely perfect. We stayed four nights, but I regret not staying longer.
The website doesn't show everything the hotel offers, so it was a big surprise.
It has a mini golf course, chess, and sports courts.
The location is perfect, at the entrance to Kruger Park, where you can go on safari by car or on a tour.
The breakfast is extensive and offers many options.
The food by the pool is also incredible.
The pool has a wonderful view of the savannah, where you can always spot animals.
Dinner, despite having food options for all tastes, is a very pleasant experience of the local culture.
The safaris offered by the hotel are comprehensive and very good. When it's breakfast throughout the day or in the morning, the hotel prepares a packed lunch and sends it to you.
The hotel staff is friendly, helpful, and dedicated. When something goes a little beyond expectations, they do everything, even the impossible, to solve it and ensure you have a perfect experience, especially our guest relations partner, Sarah.
Our days here were perfect and I hope to return one day.

(Original)
Tudo foi absolutamente perfeito, ficamos 4 noites, porém arrependida de não ter ficado mais.
O site não mostra tudo o que o hotel oferece então foi uma grande surpresa.
Possui campo de mini Golf, xadrez, quadras de esportes.
A localização é perfeita, na entrada do parque Kruger, onde você pode fazer o safari com seu carro ou através de tour.
O café da manhã é vasto e com muitas opções.
A comida na piscina também é incrível.
A piscina tem uma vista maravilhosa para a savana, onde sempre é possível avistar animais.
O jantar apesar de ter opções de comida para todos os gostos, é uma experiência da cultura local de forma muito agradável.
Os safari oferecidos pelo hotel são completos e muito bons, quando é o café de dia inteiro ou de manhã o hotel prepara uma lancheira e te envia.
Os colaboradores do hotel são simpáticos, solícitos, dedicados. Quando alguma coisa sai um pouco do esperado, eles fazem de tudo, inclusive quase o impossível, para solucionar e você ter uma experiência perfeita, principalmente a guest relacion Sarah.
Nossos dias aqui foram perfeitos e espero um dia poder voltar.

What a fantastic place to stay. The rooms are neat, the gym modern, the pool is idyllic and the spa.... so fine. Super good massage with the most beautiful view I have ever had during a massage.
The food is wide in choice and very tasty.

We really enjoyed staying here. The hotel is beautiful with an African feel. There are many beautiful and comfortable communal seating areas both indoors and outdoors. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds were very comfy. We did safari rides from the hotel which were amazing. The buffet dining area was outside with fires and patio heaters. The buffet dinner was excellent, there was a lot of choice and the food, including the meat, was good quality. The waiters deserve a special mention, they made the dining experience very special and unique. Breakfast was also very good. It is a buffet breakfast and is in a lovely area with a choice of indoor or outdoor seating. We stayed for 4 nights overall and did not want to leave.

Tout était absolument parfait durant notre séjour : animaux au pied du lit, personnel aux petits soins, le cadre est incroyabl, l qualité des repas etc. Vraiment je recommande. Pour nous, ce séjour représentait un certain budget et n\'avons pas été décus, loin de là. Superbe.

The location is sensational especially on the deck overlooking the Sabi River where we spent a relaxing day watching nyala, kudu, bushbuck, hippo and elephants. Even had a leopard wander by.

The staff are genuinely friendly and the facilities and food are excellent.

Highly recommended
