The resort is lovely, the staff provided excellent service so would recommend. Unfortunately we had a bad experience with one of the tours we booked, the places visited were great but the transport provided (given advertised as a luxury tour) was unacceptable, a rickety dirty taxi! The owner needs to take better ownership of this, we (group of 10) didn’t get a very good result when speaking to him of this.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Arrived to do a self drive into Kruger the following day and we were greeted with what I considered mockery that we didn’t know we would need to make a timed day visit reservation. There were no available time slots left for the next day, so we had to forego our second booked night and book something inside the park in order to get in. Really glad we did because they played loud music until nearly 1 am. Do not stay here if you’re planning to wake up early. Impossible to sleep.

Schöne Lodge mit schlechter Zuwegung

Ein wunderbarer ruhiger und gepflegter Ort. Allerdings ist die Zufahrt schon etwas spektakulär mit tiefen Potholes/Löchern und grossen Steinen in der Schotterstrasse. Essen und Räumlichkeiten waren gut, der Service im Prinzip auch. Verbesserungswürdig wäre aber noch die Frühstückszubereitung. WIR mussten bis zu 45 Minuten auf unser Frühstück warten, obwohl wir am Abend vorher extra für 7 Uhr bestellt hatten!

Die Lodge an sich ist sehr schön. Personal, Essen, Einrichtung etc zum Wohlfühlen. Allerdings ist Marloth Park voller Ferienhäuser und Lodges. Teilweise sind die Straßen kaum befahrbar. Das ganze Gelände ist dichter Busch - wer sich Ausblick oder einen weiten Blick wünscht sollte woanders buchen.

Great experience, exhausting game drive

Good accomodations and very good food (dinner). We had two game drives, first one at night (excelent) and the other one from 5am to 2pm - until 10am is awesome,.but from 10am on, there is excessive heat and almost no animals to see. We suggest that the gamedrive can be purchased only from 05 to 10am, to be more productive and less exhaustive.

Fomos Roubados

Nunca fiquem nesse hotel. Vou iniciar dizendo que fomos roubados. Antes de chegarmos no hotel, estávamos em Cape Town e conferimos tudo que tínhamos, e durante nossa estadia conferimos novamente, por isso posso afirmar que tudo que nos foi roubado foi nesse hotel. Como eles oferecem o servico de café de manhã e jantar incluído na diária, eles estabelecem que das 19-21h vc deve ir jantar, e utilizam esse momento para entrar no quarto mais uma vez (tirando a limpeza normal), para deixar a cama arrumada e deixar um chocolate sobre ela, aí vc entra no quarto e acha uma tremendas gentileza. Acontece que isso é um subterfúgio para mexer nas suas coisas, já que ninguém se preocupa em deixar tudo trancado essa hora, imaginando que essa hora está tudo seguro, foi provavelmente nesse momento que nos ROUBARAM 371 dólares e 400 reais (muitos lugares na África do Sul trocam nossa moeda direto pro Rand, eu trocava diretamente por isso sei disso). Além disso, nos furtaram um HD externo que estava na bolsa e uma calça jeans preta feminina, que estava suja e numa sacola de mão que era carregada como bagagem de mão e nem era aberta, inclusive a calça foi usada durante um passeio lá e depois colocada na sacola. Infelizmente só percebemos isso quando chegamos ao aeroporto de Nelspruit e fomos contabilizar o dinheiro, então fomos ver o que mais estava faltando e percebemos a falta das outras coisas. Já viajei muito, não tenho porque mentir e só estou relatando isso porque tenho absoluta certeza.

Acolhedora hospedagem

Gostamos bastante de nossa estadia, tanto do conforto da hospedagem, quanto da qualidade dos serviços prestados. O que realmente nos encantou foi a simpatia dos funcionários do hotel, em especial Daniel e Edith, sempre muito solícitos. Boa comida também foi um ponto positivo. Tivemos apenas um desapontamento ao final da estadia quando, de forma inesperada, quiseram nos cobrar o valor referente a hospedagem das crianças, sendo que havíamos contratado o serviço tanto para adultos, quanto para crianças. Ao final, tal fato foi resolvido. Assim, qualificamos como muito boa nossa hospedagem
