Lorenza and Xander were amazing hosts, and it was great to spend time with them and their puppies. They catered to our every need during the stay. They even arranged for us to go a sunset spot for champagne on one of our game drives to celebrate our honeymoon! Helen was such an attentive server as well, delivering beautiful meals. We were somewhat picky about the timing of our meals, and we worked with the team in advance who was able to cater to us with no issues. They even gave us a choice for lunch when we arrived on the first day, and when we chose a salad, they delivered a mountain of fresh vegetables such as avocadoes and courgettes, paired with delicious olive oil. We of course were treated to home made pasta at night, as well as a braai with a tomahawk steak on our other night. Ngalali is located on a private reserve which makes driving to the game drives convenient. It was also much less crowded than Kruger. There were lion cubs staying in the private reserve, and we were able to see them waking up just next to our car during our last game drive. But the best animal viewings were honestly from the hotel itself. Two giraffes were just in front of the gate when we first arrived, and we were welcomed by a herd of elephants and their babies playing in mud as we were having lunch. On the last day, a herd of about 150 buffalo were running past and we could see them from the gate!

Mbizi Bush Lodge, hotel in Grietjie Nature Reserve

Offering an outdoor pool and a veranda with views of the Northern Drakensbergs, Mbizi Bush Lodge is a small lodge nestled in the Grietjie Game Reserve.

Most beautiful lodge in the middle of the wild nature, not fenced (which adds to the feeling of excitement, but the owners were very careful and made us feel safe the whole time). The design of the lodge is tasteful, in the spirit of Africa, elegant and calm. The nature around is simply breathtaking, and the most amazing thing is that animals come the lodge pool to drink water. Elephants, giraffes, zebras and more arrived. It's a magical moment when it happens. The room was comfortable, great bed, shower and AC. The owner of the lodge cooks incredible food, every day and every meal the dishes change and they are at the level of a gourmet restaurant. I have no words to describe how special the experience was, I'm so glad we chose to stay at this place, and I wish we had more time (I recommend booking a minimum of 3 nights). There is an option to take a game drive to watch the animals around, we did this twice and got to see lions, elephants, giraffes and quite a few other animals, highly recommended.

Chacma Bush Camp, hotel in Grietjie Nature Reserve

Chacma Bush Camp is set within the Maseke Balule Game Reserve, an 8000-hectare private game that shares open borders with the Kruger National Park.

Overall, Chacma was really lovely. Great hospitality and lovely location. Stunning to have animals walk right past the lodge while you eat or lounge by the pool. Love the fact that it is small and intimate – allows for a personalized experience.

    its a big 5.

    its a big 5. BUT because of so many private properties you can not game drive much of the reserve like other reserves and also within the reserve the owners of the lodges seem to not like each other that much. they gossip a lot about each other ( i did stay in different places in this reserve ) and i did not have this issue in other game reserves.

    Dear Lengau Lodge Team,

    Dear Lengau Lodge Team, We would like to sincerely thank you for our three-day stay with you. Loek and Ilse warmly welcomed us upon our arrival and patiently explained everything to us. On the same day, we went on an afternoon safari with Loek, which was simply wonderful. On the way to the lodge, we even encountered a group of elephants. Already on the first day, we were able to admire impalas, elephants, and lions. The location of the lodge directly in the Great Kruger Park is simply phenomenal. In the evenings, we could hear the roar of the lions, and the soundscape was truly unique. The lodge itself was very clean and tastefully decorated. We particularly enjoyed the pool area, from which you have a direct view of the bush and can observe animals. This was a wonderful opportunity to experience nature and wildlife up close. Loek was an extremely friendly safari guide and had extensive knowledge. We also had the pleasure of booking the gin tasting, which we can definitely recommend. It was evident that Luug and Ilse were very committed to providing their guests with a pleasant stay. However, we would also like to honestly share our experience that we felt unable to express every wish, as we were afraid of asking for too much. In our opinion, the food was not always sufficient, and instead of a breakfast buffet, there was a pre-set breakfast menu. We would have liked to be treated more individually as guests and to have felt that our wishes were positively received. Nevertheless, we would like to emphasize that overall we were satisfied with our stay at Lengau Lodge and would gladly recommend it. The warmth and efforts of Loek and Ilse impressed us, and the location of the lodge in the Great Kruger Park is simply unbeatable. We are glad to have chosen this lodge. Thank you once again for your hospitality. Kind regards, Dimitri&Rabia

    It is a beautiful reserve, private but within the Kruger. Access is vis outside gates, we exited at Orpen and was an hour drive, as two females ( mother and daughter) doing the drive, we felt completely safe.

    The chalet I had was very clean and comfortable. The food was good and well presented. I particularly appreciated the french press coffee and cheese selection at breakfast. The manager, Christina, went above and beyond to address any concern. I forgot my phone charger and she arranged to have an employee buy me a replacement.

    it is simply fantastic. in the middle of the Bush with a water hole for the door. Lorenza is a fantastic cook and we really enjoyed the meal. Xander has always brought us highlights with animals. We felt very comfortable and after 4 days we were sad that we had to leave. This f accommodation is a must. We have seen so much and had such beautiful views, it was unforgettable. we hope that we will come back here again.
