I liked sightseeing and nature viewing. Wildlife and travelling was so nice. Phalaborwa doesn't have entertainment faculties like cinemas etc. If there is a movie that you wanna watch, you have to drive 114 km to Tzaneen.
Phalaborwa gate is not yoo busy like the others..and there is a general belirf that most og the animals are living in south of park..but at safari it depens on for you to be at the right time at the right place..
Phalaborwa was very nice, taking a tour in kruger national park was great but it was sad how the ground was so dry, the animals were not healthy due to drought during that time. Make sure to visit mopani rest place and try the magnificent burger at this other restaurant next to the river, i forgot the name of the restaurant but i think its the only 1 that side.
Phalaborwa is a good departing point to explore different regions of Kruger Park. Located in the middle of the park you can tour the north to with less tourist and more elephants or the south to see another vegetation where the lions are king.
It's a small town right at the gate of the Kruger park, I did a one day "Game drive" and I would have liked to go again by own car a next day. The town itself is small but has all necessary services like restaurants and a supermarket.
It is a mining town, so not necessarily the most scenic town. It does have its own charm with local markets, friendly people, interesting places, restaurants and shops, and it a main gateway to Kruger and home to several safari companies. I spent most of my time in Tingala Lodge just 10 minutes away in the bush and travelled to town for short visits.
“The property and the host were lovely. They upgraded our room for free which was very kind of them. There were plenty of little amenities in the room to make our stay more comfortable, but we had a lot of driving to do so unfortunately we were in and out in 12 hours. Great little town and ideal location before visiting or after visiting Kruger Park. ”
“We booked the all inclusive safari option and it was an amazing adventure. We stayed at the River Lodge which is located far into a private game reserve and it takes 40 min to get to it from the town. Wild animals freely come and go as there is no fence. It is as close to nature as you can get, but still comfortable and safe. The staff was super kind and the food was amazing.”
“Everything about La Lechere is great! The manager, Johan is an awesome host willing to do anything to make your stay perfect. Johan is a wealth of knowledge about things to do and places to see in phalaborwa. The location is good with secure gated parking. The breakfast is great and the building is well kept. The poolside honesty bar is well stocked and very reasonably priced. I can't say enough about La Lechere”
“Great location near the Phalaborwa gate. awesome host. Full breakfast, Olga was so nice. She gave us a bottle of wine upon arrival. She got up early- 5:45 so that we could get to Kruger.
