My friend and I had a wonderful stay at Parson's Hilltop. On our first day, we saw a lion, an elephant, and all manner of other animals. On our second day we saw a large group of elephants that walked within feet of our vehicle. It was thrilling to say the least. On our final day we saw a group of three giraffes who walked up close to us when they heard us talking when we stopped for coffee and snacks. We enjoyed watching them for an hour. The facility is small and lovely with a Heminwayesque lodge with a gorgeous view. The tent was charming and very comfortable. The staff were wonderful and in particular our guide for the three days Lex. I can't recommend this safari lodge enough.

Once we arrived we had a wonderful stay at the Parsons Hilltop ;-) do not use Google Maps for navigation. Great views, good food, amazing game drives - very special thanks again to our guide Lars for teaching us about the bush - helped a lot for the rest of our trip. Very friendly staff - we highly recommend a stay here.

We had a pleasant 2 night stay at Parsons Hilltop Camp. The camp is remotely located within the Balule Game Reserve with beautiful views out over the valley. The tent accommodation is superb! Our tent was very comfortable and had two private decks including a small plunge pool overlooking a small watering hole. The staff were friendly and every meal prepared by Patience (chef) was very tasty. Mirjam (host) even baked traditional Dutch olliebollen for NYE which were delicious! We had two game drives during our stay and saw 2 out of the ‘big 5’ animals - Raas (the ranger) was very informative and engaging. On our second day we decided to do a self drive to Kruger Park (Skukuza Gate) where we saw a lot more animals.

Our stay at Parsons was an Amazing experience. The Situation of the Camp on the hilltop is really beautiful and animals come into the camp often. We had a group of elephants strolling the camp at Night. The Best Part about our stay was the staff, especially our Ranger Ras who Made the Game drives a really fun and educative experience. We also enjoyed the food very much - They Made really good Vegetarian options for us as well, which we appreciated a lot. Last But Not least the Tranquility of our private whirlpool was so nice to relax inbetween activities.

We have received a warm welcoming by the staff and the room (tent) was at high standart and in a high qulity. The service was excellent and the served dishes were very tasty and enjoyable. Mark the ranger was very knowledgable and with patience and the game drive was very nice.

Amazing views Well located in the greater Kruger area. Our tour guide Mark was very very good and kept the drives entertaining. You get a ridiculous amount of food, from a two course breakfast, to a sizeable lunch, to a three course dinner every night. And all of it is incredible so prepare to gain weight. You get one free game drive per day and an additional is well worth the money

Great camp in the middle of the bush with knowledgeable rangers. The staff made us feel very welcome and safe in the (unfenced) camp! Furthermore, tents and views from the camp are top notch. And last but not least: we hade some very nice sightings in the Balule reserve!
