HHol LabsThis has to be one of the nicest hotel in the safari. We stayed at the newly built 2 bedrooms plunge pool villa, it is spectacular! Everything is perfect, from the interior design, panorama view, pool, amenities, beds, service and everything is amazing! Our safari guide is the best, he is great with children and also very knowledgeable on everything in the reserve from animals, birds, trees, insects and roads, on and off roads. The kitchen staffs offers us delicious meals everyday, everything is perfect!
ゲゲストI spent two weeks traveling in South Africa, staying in 12 lodges/hotels. This White House Lodge impressed me the most. It felt like I'd returned home many years ago. Everything was so welcoming and pleasant. Suzanne met me at the airport. Although, due to communication issues, I wasn't sure she'd be able to meet me, and I'd have to find a taxi. It was very nice to see Suzanne upon arrival holding a sign with my name. On the way to the lodge, we saw several impalas.
She organized safari in Kruger park for me both days while I was staying at the lodge. Excellent dinners, a wonderful selection of South African wine (it rivals good European wines), a lawn, a garden, a swing, and a stunning view of the valley. A very nice place and hostess.
P.S. I really wanted to see a leopard and a rhino on safari – but I ended up seeing all of the Big Five.
MMarieEmplacement idéel pour visiter le Kruger, à 5minutes de la porte d'entrée ! Le lieu est super sympa, les chambres sont très grandes. Résidence très bien sécurisée. Nous avions demandés un petits déjeuner à l'emporter, nous nous sommes régalés, et très copieux ! Petite mention pour les chats de la villa qui sont adorables !
XXxuanieIt’s our honeymoon, and we’re glad we chose South Africa as our honeymoon destination! Spent 4 nights at Grand Kruger Lodge and booked 2 game drives, a sunrise bush walk and sunset drive via the lodge.
The lodge staff were good representatives of South African hospitality; we were well taken care of since day 1 - from decorating our room to welcome us for our honeymoon, the delicious and homely dinner spread (we looked forward to checking out the handwritten menu on the blackboard daily!), the friendly chats to find out if we enjoyed our Kruger National Park experience, leaving us chocolates on our bed after dinner etc. Returning to the lodge after our day felt like returning home to meet close friends whom we knew by name. Special shoutout to Innocent (yes that’s a staff’s name) who even gave us a ride back to the lodge when he saw us walking on the dirt path back after visiting Marloth viewpoint!
The game drives were conducted by the lodge safari guides, while the bush walk and sunset drive were conducted by SAN Parks rangers. We got Tamba as our game drive guide and learnt loads from him! From learning how to identify male/female animals via their distinctive features, to looking out for telltale signs such as animal poop and footprints to determine if the animals were nearby, the drives were like a live Nat Geo experience!
Definitely miss this place and everyone we met at Kruger/Marloth. Thank you for the lovely memories 😊
TTatianabelovaOur stay at this place was amazing! The staff was very friendly, the breakfast was delicious, and we took beautiful photos with the animals and fed them! We would love to return to this place! The owner of the lodge is an amazing person! The rooms and common areas are very clean and stylish! We are so happy to be here!
AaudreyCleanliness of the room is ok as long as you don't look on top of the wardrobe...
Service is very poor from breakfast to dinner ...next day, few of us felt sick after eating pudding at dinner...waiters are in an other world most of the time and expecting you to tips them for buffet service...
The front door light was broken. Just good for pick up and drop of to krugger.
