    The front lady was very kind and helpful. When we got there, she quickly helped us and handled the paperwork so we could go relax. She was 6 because it was n hot day, she gave us a room close to the pool. There is a security guard who is on duty...

Marie Olivier (Owner) & Royal Game Staff
My name is Marie Olivier and I have owned Royal Game Guest House for almost 21 years now. The staff are friendly, professional & efficient, always taking great care to offer the best personalized service. Our guests arrive as strangers, and leave as friends.
I love outings to the Kruger Park (Wild Card holder). Also love playing musical instruments and singing.
Royal Game's neighborhood is tranquil, quiet and safe. We border on the Kruger National Park and the world-renown Hans Merensky Golf Estate (Golf in the Wild) is but 3km away. We also have a range of activities in close proximity, namely restaurants, safaris, river safaris, elephant-back rides (90km), hot-air ballooning (90km) and visits to the animal rehabilitation centre (100km) where you can get in touch with wild animals, up close and personal!
