Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Best hostel in Kruger!!! Was upgraded to a private room at no additional cost, but also slept in the dorm room for a night and it was great! Rooms are clean, towels are provided, showers are strong, staff is very welcoming!!! People that stay here as guests are also friendly. Dinner is included and pretty good! But the highlight of it all was the 3-day camping trip to Kruger Park. It was my first one, so I didn’t know what to expect, but it was an AMAZING experience! Shoutout to our guide Robert who knew absolutely everything about all the animals in the park, definitely made the trip a lot more interesting!! 10/10 recommend staying here, will definitely be back!!

A acomodação foi bom, mas não ótima. Passei poucos dias então foi suficiente pra mim. O café deixou muito a desejar assim como o jantar. Muito fraco.

Atendimento, limpeza e conforto impecáveis. Equipe de voluntários super simpáticos e atenciosos. Só senti falta de opções para fazer uma refeição rápida no almoço. Recomendo a estadia e voltarei mais vezes.
