We had such a wonderful stay at the lodge. The place is simply stunning. Erika and Luca are fantastic hosts that make you immediately comfortable and feeling at home. And once they move in the kitchen they only reappear with succulent dishes (of course, of italian flavor).

Wonderful stay in Kruger

Relax with the silence around. You will be in the midle of the savana. All the confort you can expect with a very exclusive and personal attention of the staf. Just be aware that there is a 11km of a dirty road to get to the place, in very bad conditions. Or you hire the hotel transfer service or you rent a 4x4 car to get there. About the hotel it is wonderful, the views, the swimming pool, the confort , the cleaning, every thing perfect.

Pure luxury among the wildlife you dream about!

Our stay at the Elephant Game Lodge was simply amazing... Seeing a giraffe, elephants, baboons... while just relaxing on the lodge's terrace cannot be described in a 1000 words. The hosts spoiled us with the best Italian and South African food, the best luxury breakfasts and the most wonderful excursions to Kruger park and Blyde River Canyon. Our room was large and comfortable with a beautiful big bathroom (double shower, large bath), and we truly enjoyed waking up to the sun and the sounds of the bush. Nothing we asked was too much, the service was absolutely splendid ! The safaris by day and night and seeing the big five right in front of you are experiences we will forever be grateful for.

Parfait

Un cadre fantastique, un accueil merveilleux, une cuisine délicieuse, Erika et Luca se plient en 4 pour rendre votre séjour inoubliable. Une adresse à recommander pour passer quelques jours en famille ou en couple après un séjour dans le parc Kruger.
