Die Lodge war perfekt als Ausgangspunkt für Safaris im Kruger Nationalpark geeignet. Wir haben auch die Tour über Sefapane gebucht und mit Donald einen herausragenden Guide bekommen. Sehr empfehlenswert. Die Unterkunft selbst könnte an ein paar Stellen kleinere Schönheitskorrekturen vertragen, aber alles im Rahmen. Einzig als Vegetarier wird das Essen schnell eintönig. Wir würden aber jederzeit wieder kommen, vor allem um den Kruger vom ruhigeren zentralen Gate zu erkunden.

I have been staying here for nearly 30 years and was quite disappointed with my recent stay. There was constant music being played at the pool/restaurant area very loudly almost 24/7 and the music wasn’t appropriate for a lodge with swearing and explicit sexual lyrics. I asked the barman to turn it down a number of times but he kept gradually turning it back up. It was so loud it was difficult to hold a conversation. This experience would make me think twice about going back. Also, there was a kettle in the room and some rusks but no tea or coffee??

Ich würde es noch Mal buchen

Die Anlage ist sehr schön angelegt. Es gibt Zwei kleine Pools eine Poolbar und mehrere Teiche. Es war immer sauber und ruhig, das Personal stets zuvorkommend und freundlich. Wir haben vorher drei Safari-Touren per E-Mail im Hotel gebucht. Alle drei haben stattgefunden, obwohl an zwei davon nur insgesamt drei Personen Teil genommen haben. Am besten gefiel mir der Sunset Game Drive. Er geht über drei Stunden und wir könnten sehr viele Tiere sehen. Am Tag darauf haben wir eine „Full-day-Safari“ gemacht. Diese fängt bereits um 6 Uhr morgens an und endet erst um 16 Uhr. Aufgrund der Frühe, konnten wir nich an dem Frühstück teilnehmen, dennoch wurde vom Hotelpersonal Kaffee und eine Kleinigkeit für uns bereit gestellt. Trotz mehrerer Pausen fand ich die Tour zu lang. Ich würde beim nächsten Mal kürzere Game Drives buchen. Am letzten Tag haben wir einen Morning Bushwalk gebucht. Dieser fängt schon um fünf Uhr morgens an und dauert vier Stunden. Hier sieht man zwar nicht viele Tiere und wenn, dann nur vom Weitem. Dennoch erfährt man einiges über das Spurenlesen, Pflanzen und Insekten. An diesem Tag haben wir es das einzige Mal zum Frühstücksbüffet geschafft. Es gab eine große Auswahl an verschiedenen Sachen und war sehr lecker. Ich würde das Frühstück immer wieder dazu buchen, man sollte jedoch aufpassen, dass es sich nicht mit den Safari-Touren überschneidet. Es war insgesamt ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt in der Anlage. Und der Krüger Nationalpark ist in nächste Nähe.

建議酒店注明鄰近的是那個機場及提醒旅客要預先安排到酒店的交通

這酒店在網上的資料介紹顯示鄰近機場，但我到達Kruger Airport 後才知道Kruger National Park 範圍內有兩個機場 (這酒店鄰近的是?Parabula Airport)！ 由Kruger Airport 去這酒店要花單程R3,000，四小時車程(那裡是沒有Taxi)！結果我要即時由Airline 職員幫忙，臨時找當地另一酒店，當時十分狼狽及徬徨。現時我已返回香港，希望可向酒店討回已付費用。

Amazing and we would recommend Sefapane to anyone.

We added the day before our booking, the staff rearranged our accommodation so we did not have to move. All the staff were welcoming, friendly, helpful and professional. The packed breakfast for Kruger was tasty and filling for the two adults and two young children. The breakfast at the Lodge was great everything you could possibly want and delicious. Our accommodation was fantastic we could not have asked for more. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Exotic stay near to Kruger park

Stayed here for three nights during a couple of visits to Kruger National Park. Booked a 10h full day safari via Sefapane. Our guide was amazing and found all "big five" on our safari day. Nice and welcoming atmosphere both in the restaurant, reception, bar and pool. Wifi was not working well in the lodges, we stayed in "The Lion".
