Perfect place to relax, very close to the entrance to Kruger, the staff is great, the rooms are great, it has a big balcony and everyone is looking that you have a good time. Sadly we didn’t spend so much time in the hotel because we were planing to spend most of our time in the park

Here’s a polished version that keeps your tone but reads more smoothly and professionally: Revised version: The Grand Kruger Lodge delivered a wonderful experience from the moment I arrived, thanks largely to its exceptional staff who truly understand how to take care of their guests. The lodge is intimate and cosy yet still offers plenty of privacy with excellent outdoor amenity spaces. The owner is warm and welcoming, adding a personal touch to the stay. I will certainly be returning in the future.

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.

The manager Surprise stopped at nothing to make us happy and make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Everyone in the staff was friendly and accommodating. The food was incredible, the head chef was fantastic. The location was great, not too far from the park, and we had a few friendly animal visitors.

Everything was perfect. The location, the lodge, and most importantly...the staff! Everyone was so lovely and willing to help, the service was just perfect. We also really enjoyed the food... breakfast and dinner! And of course, the organisation of the Safari's was just perfect! Thanks!

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.
