Kruger Park Lodge

First time staying at the Kruger Park Lodge resort, really happy with our experience. Ideally situated on the R40 road, a few minutes from shopping amenities at Hazyview Junction Mall (highly recommend Woolworths/Chequers for groceries/household items), and easy access to Kruger National Park - 15 min drive to Phabeni Gate, or 30 min to Paul Kruger gate. Also 5 min drive to Elephant Whispers. Our check-in was short, easy and smooth, staff directed us to our lodge with a map and gave us a sticker for our hire car window for ease of access at security gates. The grounds are well kept and beautiful, some really lovely plant and tree specimens and we were delighted to see the hippos who laughed and played a lot each day but never kept us awake. Also a joy to watch Bushbucks, Impala and other antelope freely grazing the golf course and gardens in the early morning, lots of bird life and very well behaved Vervet monkeys eating from banana trees, but never bothered us. The restaurant on site is highly recommended, particularly the meat options and fillet steaks were superb. All meals are very big portions and very reasonably priced. Cocktails were good quality too! The pool and outdoor activity areas are clean and well serviced, staff are very polite and attentive and we had everything we needed to compliment our stay. The cleaners did a gold standard service of our lodge, which was well equipped and in good working order. High standard of furniture and equipment. We expected many load shedding experiences but were lucky not to experience any in our 10 day visit - not that the resort can control these - the WiFi was more than adequate for 3 adults and a teenager! Our kids loved the mini golf, pool, trampolines and volleyball - we just ran out of time to do the bike hire and tennis! We felt very safe during our visit and the grounds are very peaceful, with exception of a little disco on Saturday nights, but it's a holiday resort so we made peace with that. As the lodges are self catering, you're advised to use Hazyview Junction to stock up on essentials when you arrive. If we ever get the opportunity to revisit this part of South Africa we'd definitely stay here again and encourage all our friends to visit.

Kruger Park Lodge is ideally situated. The place was well equipped with everything at your disposal. It even has an onsite laundromat and a beautiful golf course. The swimming area is great fun for the kids. I would definitely recommend staying here.

It is always nice to stay at Kruger Park Lodge. House with two bedrooms. Clean and a very nice Golf course as bonus. 9 km from the nearest Kruger Park Gate Phabeni.

Great location within the resort and not far from reception golf pro. Staff could not be more helpful. Lovely seeing animals roaming around the fairways front and back of the unit.

Excellent resort with easy access to the Kruger Park, friendly staff with quick response and service support. Accommodation comfortable with good WiFi.
