    Absolutely nothing.

    The accommodation is absolutely stunning and surprisingly spotless for a bush getaway. The tents are luxurious yet the feeling of being immersed in the Kruger culture is not lost. Waking up to the wildlife and having them surround you in such a quite confidence is exhilarating. The staff, especially Tanya, is an absolute delight. We will definitely be returning for years to come.

    For me, the towels were just a bit too soft... didn't dry nicely. That's literally all🙂

    Great service from arrival to departure. Tent was super clean and neat, as if it was built yesterday. We were treated like royalty up to the special request for a surprise at the tent. I've stayed in quite a few places in Marloth, and Jackelberry is definitely up there. Lots of animal sightings, they practically sleep next to the tent hahahahahaha. Will definitely be back. Highly recommend 👌

    We cant think of anything

    We loved the splash pool. It was so hot, being mid summer, and we were able to relax in the pool , with tame buck and warthog wandering the area, it was fabulous. The glamping accommodation was lovely. A very comfortable King size bed, lovely well appointed bathroom. and 2 ceiling fans which helped us to sleep at night. The kitchen was well appointed and suited our needs perfectly, The staff were wonderful. Tanya was so friendly and professional as was Nellie, and in fact everyone we met, even the pool cleaner was friendly, We will most certainly be coming back to this lovely resort. Thank you to everyone. The whatsapp group was also a nice touch to keep the residents informed of what was going on.

    Luxury stay in the bush

    Everything was perfect, perhaps the shower temperature could be regulated but other than that, a very pleasant stay. Not a single thing not to like about this place!

    What was not to like! The deck above the tent, your own private pool, a boma with seating, for lunch and dinners spent at the tent, the friendly cleaning staff, the comfortable bed, the clean linen, daily housekeeping, the high-speed fans for the intense summer heat, the EXTREMELY WELL-EQUIPPED kitchen inside our tent (even has an air-fryer!!! :) which we were delighted about), the luxury feel to the tent, the gorgeous and spacious bathroom, the privacy, the distance to one of the Kruger gates, and most of all, Tanya!! Tanya was an absolute superstar!! We had 2 dilemmas' while staying at the resort and Tanya was SO INCREDIBLY accommodating, and that made us feel completely safe and assured! Wi-Fi works in the tent during loadshedding so no problem there. Safe and Secure onsite parking. And once again Tanya :) Loved our stay here and will definitely be back for sure!!

    The bathroom floor was very dirty and slippery, after reporting it, it was cleaned (sort of). We used the outside shower which wasn't clean either, after reporting it, it was cleaned. The kitchen fridge had a bad smell. It was a huge put-off. the braai area is badly cracked, but still OK, for now. Before reporting all the issues to the reception, we first asked the staff (who arrived as we were having breakfast), to do the above mentioned and it wasn't taken in good spirit. Photos don't match what you get. a few years ago it did. The price also went up since our last visit in August 2023 and if it wasn't for our Booking.com genius level 3 discount, we would not have booked this place. Not sure if we will book it again at this price and surely not at the "normal" price of R 1 862,00. per night.

    A very nice big safari tent. Nice big bed, clean linen, and a big bathroom. Outside lapa and fan a bonus. The small pool is very nice for those hot days. This was our 5th stay and we could see some deterioration in a few things,

    Located within a 20-30 minute drive from Crocodile Bridge entrance to Kruger National Park, it was the perfect place to rest for the night. Spacious, well-equipped room. Large shower. While we did not use the kitchen this evening but instead visited a nearby restaurant, the kitchen was fully stocked and included a large fridge. Outdoor seating and a plunge pool invite one to enjoy the outdoors on warmer days. Highly recommend the short drive down to Kranz Look Out point--beautiful view across Crocodile River towards Kruger.

    Perhaps a solar light or 2 outside during load shedding, but really not that big a problem. No other issues, no matter how hard I try to think od something.

    All amenities were superb - functional and well equipped kitchen complimented by a perfect braai area. The units were basic but perfect in the bush setting and the clean bathroom with plenty of hot water a big thumbs up.
