We had an amazing stay! The staff was so kind and friendly. We stayed two nights and did a full day game drive. The staff arranged for our game drive and since we left super early in the morning, they provided us with breakfast in a cooler bag. Dinner was amazing as well and the view from the balcony is beyond! Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking to stay just outside the park (about 30 minutes to Crocodile Bridge Entrance).

Agradável.

Hotel limpo e organizado. Funcionários atenciosos e simpáticos durante toda estadia. O Crocodile Kruger é parecido com estilo de pousada, assim como todos na região. São pouquíssimos quartos, algo como 05 a 08 quartos, mas com comodidade, atenção e um bom serviço oferecido aos hóspedes. O café da manhã e o jantar estavam inclusos no valor do quarto e gostei bastante da comida.

Hotel bom, mas tranque sua mala com cadeados!

O hotel fica situado em uma area de uma reserva, bem em frente ao Kruger Park. Se estiver de carro alugado e GPS nao tera problemas para chegar. O hotel é muito bonito, rustico e agradavel. Tem uma piscina boa com vista para o parque. A area de cima tem um deck para tambem ver o parque enquanto toma uma bebida. Os quartos sao grandes e espaçosos. O jantar assim como o cafe da manha sao bons. Nao precisa pagar estacionamento. O preço das bebidas é justo para o local. A internet nao funciona bem, e a energia eletrica caiu diversas vezes deixando sem luz, mas esse é um problema geral na regiao. O atendimento é muito bom e personalizado. Porem, se desejar ficar nesse hotel, deixo uma dica importante. Deixe sua mala sempre trancada com cadeado. Chegamos e logo ja fomos para o jantar, deixei a mala aberta (é um hotel pequeno, acredito que 6 quartos). Como estavamos jantando dentro do hotel, nao acreditei que alguem iria entrar no quarto, mas sim, entraram com o motivo de fechar as cortinas do quarto enquanto jantavamos e durante esse momento, abriram a mala e procuraram onde estava o dinheiro (acredite, estava bem escondido dentro de um bolso interno) e depois disso sumiu 100 euros da minha carteira. Apesar disso, recomendo o hotel, mas tenha em mente deixar trancado a mala com seus pertences e dinheiro 100% do tempo que nao estiver no quarto.Ja tinha lido uma outra avaliaçao com o mesmo problema no hotel. Enviei um email a gerencia notificando o ocorrido tambem, sem respostas.

Staff eccezionale!

Un 5 stelle meritate! Struttura adiacente al Parco Kruger sulla Crocodile River, ricca di coccodrilli (che non abbiamo visto) e serpenti (quelli si che ne abbiamo visti!). Personale gentile e cordiale coordinato da un manager super, attento a tutto! Cena e colazione ottima... L'unico punto debole è il WiFi per chi anziché godersi la pace e il silenzio del posto deve comunicare con il mondo. Un esperienza veramente ottima!

One of the highlights of our trip to SA

The experience we had at the Crocodile Kruger Safari lodge is one my wife and I will never forget. We initially wanted to stay in the park, however because everything was booked we decided to try this out. The staff was amazing, including Johan, Harris and Solomon, our safari guide. So friendly and so accommodating. We weren't sure what to expect, but are so happy we made this decision. The food was also very good, some of the best we had during our 2 week trip in the country. The safari was incredible, especially due to the knowledge of our tour guide Solomon. We were 2 for 2 in seeing the big 5 and despite being outside of Kruger, we were literally across the river and could see elephants, zebra and kudu from our balcony. Only a ten minute drive to the main gate to the park. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place to anyone going to Kruger National Park. As mentioned it was an experience we will never forget.

Service, som för en kung!

Jag avslutade min vistelse genom att bo en natt på Crocodile Bridge Kruger Safari Lodge. Jag var där under lågsäsong och fick service värd en kunglighet under min vistelse. 3-4 personer som verkligen bara hade mig att ta hand om, troligen då inga andra gäster fanns. Ingenting var omöjligt. Middag ordnades efter personliga önskemål, och man packade tillochmed matlåda för en av mina turer in till nationalparken. Det som drar ned betyget är Marloth park! Området där hotellet ligger är kanske under uppbyggnad, men då jag var där var det extremt svårt att hitta fram till hotellet. OM ni bokar här skall ni se till att komma fram i dagsljus, då vägar och skyltning är undermålig. Marloth Park är en safaripark i sig och det finns mycket vilt inne på området. Om man vill till Krugerparken ligger Crocodile Gate ca 20 min bort med bil.
