- dixiepeachKansas City, MO8,312 contributionsWe’ve been to Kruger three times and truly love this park. There’s such a huge variety of animals to see. The best places for lions and leopards we found were staying in the areas of Satara Camp and Berg-en-Dal Camp. Berg-en-Dal was the only place we saw rhinos. Elephants and giraffes were abundant everywhere. Please be aware that an accommodation labeled as a “bush camp” may not have food available to purchase so you may want to bring your own. Also, many camps don’t have internet at all and in the ones that do it often isn’t working. You need to arrive at your camp by 6:00 in the evening as the gates are locked after that. All in all, Kruger is an amazing experience.Written 19 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- 1970tsSouth Africa15 contributionsIt is a beautiful place, we also did some hiking within the park. There are unexplored areas facing the Riverside Mall. It is breath-taking immediately after the rain. A must-see!Written 7 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JC888South Africa1 contributionWe had a fortuitous week in the Kruger Park where we had some of the best sightings in more than a decade. Little did we know that the highlight of our trip to the Lowveld would be our visit to Chimp Eden.
We had an incredible time learning about these fascinating creatures and their unique personalities. The chimps come from difficult backgrounds but Chimp Eden has provided them all with a home where you can almost forget the trauma that they've been through.
Our two guides (Natasha & Easton) were also very pleasant and knowledgeable. You could see they cared for the chimps. The guides contributed immensely to the experience and from them we could sense that Chimp Eden is definitely not a zoo but an actual sanctuary for these amazing animals.Written 19 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Odyssey308175429941 contributionWe thoroughly enjoyed the 2 night stay in luxury (stylish) accommodation and wholesome food.
We also enjoyed Chris (Manager) enthusiasm for the bush and wildlife.
His passion for the bush is infectious!
After a delicious supper we watched hyena's strolling around the watering spot before we went to bed in the most comfortable bedding; falling asleep to the exciting sounds of the bush.
Thank you for a wonderful weekend!Written 5 June 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Enjoyed sitting at the Glass Bar...waiters are friendly and the drinks are galore.. Loads of parking and good security.

- Stay178460182761 contributionI use the service for my kids to school. The drivers are on time and when the kids come back, they wait until all the kids are inside the house, then they drive away. Highly recommended for moving around Nelspruit. Cars are clean, card speed point on cars for that cashless service.Written 14 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

From the moment I first contacted them everything was very smooth. Our drivers were very nice, professional, polite, punctual and responsible. The vehicles were very comfortable and clean. All in all, an excellent service.Written 12 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Miguel RombeMaputo, Mozambique33 contributionsThe competition with some of the ‘new malls’ is forcing it to reinvent itself; it lost some of the good restaurants but it is offering new brands for clothes.Written 1 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
