This hotel is one amazing place to be! Everything was top level! The rooms - large, modern, and clean. The pool bar with the infinite pool - incredible! The restaurant and the food - high level. But the most valuable thing for me was the staff! Friendly, nice, and polite. And especially the Guest Relationship Manager - Sarah! She is the most helpful human being on the planet! We love you, Sarah! Thank you for everything.

Incredible place with amazing views of the river. We had an elephant, hyenas, monkeys, bushbucks, and impala on the property in the short 2 days we were there. Staff was so friendly and helpful, there is an armed guard onsite at all times for protection. The staff clean the room and set up for dinner each night. The bed was super comfortable and they provided wonderful little touches like chocolates and a card with a traditional African folk tale each day. It’s also in a great location between two of the larger camps (Skukuza and Lower Sabie) which is also a hotspot for animals (lions, elephants etc). I can’t say enough good things about this place. Wish I could live there!

We absolutely loved the staff and the very warm welcome!! The accommodations were excellent. The food was phenomenal, and the chef even prepared delicious vegetarian food for half of our family! The airport pick-up staff was friendly and starting showing us animals as we drove from the airport to our lodging. The view of the river from our private patio was just gorgeous, and we witnessed a family of elephants coming down to the river upon arrival. The evening drive and the morning drive were perfect and we were able to see the Big 5… actually only 4 ( didn’t see a rhino) but we all learned so much! We enjoyed every moment and appreciated the parka jackets ( a very cold morning!) and mountain top break with snacks with the morning game drive. FYI: the morning and evening game drives are included with your stay. Highly recommend Leopard Sands for an amazing Kruger Park experience of a lifetime!

    Skukuza is a gem—especially if you want that mix of real bush experience without giving up comfort. It’s one of the bigger camps in Kruger, so there’s quite a bit going on, but it still manages to feel peaceful. Favourite spots: We really enjoyed the early morning drives around the park. We were self-driving but cleverly kept an eye on the guided tour operator vehicles, and that helped us catch most of the big sightings. It made the whole experience exciting and rewarding. Where we ate: We mostly self-catered but had a nice meal at the Kruger Hotel on our first evening after arriving past 7 pm. Most of our shopping was done at the Park Shop inside the camp—it was well-stocked and convenient. We even bought some game meat (like kudu and impala), which we braaied once we returned to Rixile. It was delicious and made for a real bush-style dinner. Getting around: Very easy. The camp is drivable and well signposted. If you’re self-driving (as most people are), Skukuza is a great central base for game drives, with plenty of routes and good animal sightings in every direction. Activities for groups of friends: Game drives are the highlight—we had some unforgettable ones. I'd also suggest booking a guided morning drive and, if you're feeling adventurous, trying different types of game meat like wildebeest, crocodile, or impala. It’s a fun experience to share as a group. Evenings back at camp were equally special—braaiing under the stars, swapping stories, and comparing notes on sightings. Skukuza offers just the right balance of wild and comfortable.

    I saw loads of the animals I was looking for, Giraffe, Rhino, Impala, Crocodile, Elephants Kudu, and even a couple of Lions and 2 Leopards. Saw the Wild Dogs and Buffalo. I also played golf at Skukuza Golf Club which was a bit of fun. Everyone was friendly and we always felt safe.

    Located close skukuza gate of the Kruger national park. It was value for money. Friendly staff and helpful. Missed having a kitchen portion, as it was not self catering. Really enjoyed our stay there.

    Great park, amazing wildlife, fantastic experience.

    Great park, amazing wildlife, fantastic experience. This being said, it is not a zoo! Don't expect to see all the existing animals in the parc! Some are easy to spot and other not so much, this is real animal kingdom and it's difficult to say who is watching who! Sun sets are also amazing with beautiful colors. Vegetation is small but dense(bushes). According to our guide it is easier to spot the animal during winter / dry season. Bushes hve less leaves making easier spotting animals and the animals gather around the water spot. During summer it is the opposite. Bushes are more dense and r'there is water everywhere making animal spotting more difficult. So an advice: winter is great for animals but of course temperature are lower so be prepared for low temperature and bring some warm clothes.

    The game viewing was absolutely brilliant and our guide Nelly was excellent. Location, this hotel has serious WOW factor. The accommodation on the bridge is breathtaking, spacious and luxurious with mesmerizing views. The food was delicious and each meal was perfectly delivered. The all inclusive beverage selection was extremely generous. 3 swimming pools to pick from... it was a real treat. The staff really stood out. Bheki, Venolia, Nelly (our driver)... they were incredibly friendly and could not do enough for the guests.

    The staff were warm and welcoming and provided excellent service throughout the stay. I traveled with my 75 year old mother and she got the full "Magogo" treatment. Good location right next to the Paul Kruger gate with easyy access into the hub of the Kruger. I likerd the facilities and layout of th hotel. The inclusive dinners and breakfasts were very good with a wide selection of items. Drinks were very reasonably priced at South African levels and were not inflated for international tourists.

    Spacious, clean and modern lodge in very close proximity to the Paul Kruger Gate. Also has access to the Kruger Gate Hotel restaurants and pool. Clint was extremely hospitable and went above and beyond to ensure that we were comfortable and that all our needs were met! Daily housekeeping including washing and ironing of clothes as well as washing our dirty car the day we left was a pleasant surprise and is a rare service we have not encountered in our previous stays at other lodges!
