    Fabulous place that we strongly recommend!! It is located in a private park and you can go walking or driving to see animals. The rooms are great, the breakfasts are good. And the proprietors are very kind persons who give you great recommandations. This is the best place we had during our journey in South Africa!!

    Great place to watch the animals that are right outside the rooms! Bird watching was great. I was even taken on a ride to spot the local leopard by the owner... very exciting and special. I would have stayed longer if I'd had the time. Great value. Great service

    nothing at all

    This was a gated lodge where we stayed on our way to Kruger Park. What a great intro to the animals. There are some animals who roam within the fences and my friends went on an early morning walk and stirred up a family of warthogs, who scrambled from their den in haste. The lodging and included breakfast were outstanding, as was the service. Highly recommend.

    In realation to other places we stayed near Kruger, it is slightly overpriced...

    Great place to stay within the reserve, great for driving around seeing giraffes, Kudu,Impala etc. And a garden full of Hornbills...

    The problem of hot water for the shower

    A beautiful place inside a closed complex with guards. Log in with a code. The property is spacious and nicely decorated. The owner is very kind and welcomed us with a damp cloth and cold lemonade. It was pleasant to sit and talk with him. He helped us plan the route and gave us tips for restaurants in the area. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. There was one problem, that there was not enough hot water for the shower. Great breakfast by the pool. We had a lot of fun. recommended!!

    8 months after our first visit we came back to Call of the wild lodge because we really like this lodge. Sue and Deon are very welcoming hosts and know how to give good advice for the stay. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the breakfasts are very good. And, for us, being able to meet animals while walking is really great !

    The family suite was very comfortable. The hosts shared their knowledge of the area and were very hospitable Breakfast was delicious and we braaied one evening. The estate is tranquil and the wild life on our morning walk was a highlight. We saw giraffe, zebra, hornhill, warhogs, water buck and other small buck. If you love mature, this is a good spot. The Orphen gate is an hours drive away. Due to.loadshedding make sure you take along cash.
