Elephant Plains Game Lodge
Elephant Plains Game Lodge"What a lovely safari stay. From the knowledgeable guides on the game drives to the friendly accomodating staff. Perfect starting point for your safari adventures"
"All of the rooms were beautifully renovated. The food was incredible, everyone in the staff went out of their way to make sure that guests were happy, and they called everyone by name. The Safari rides were over the top and our guide Stuart and his tracker Colin were very knowledgeable and professional. The jeeps were brand new and very comfortable. We were sad to leave after an incredible 3 night stay at Leopard Hills."
"Amazing coordination of care . Tracker, guide, butler, admin- all working together for a phenomenal experience"
"Wonderful!"
Collen Pillar Hotels Windsor Royale
Collen Pillar Hotels Windsor Royale"The property is extremely hard to find because the Google map will not be able to get you there. The staff was not prepared for our arrival, as they already had anticipated that we would not be able to find it. Consequently, the restaurant had a menu but there were only two different cuts of steak. with one piece each. since there was nothing else we ate the steak, which was fine. Getting there, you will have to travel through some neighbourhoods that didn’t seem too safe to me."
"I loved this property because it was beautiful and the staff was friendly. We loved the club level"
"This was a great place to stay near Kruger. Staff were exceptionally helpful, food was great and the location unbeatable. We had hippos playing in the river in front of us."
