    The shower is a little small, although adequate.

    The peace and tranquillity; the property was fully equipped and spotlessly clean. Beautiful setting. We'll stay longer next time and hope to be able to take walks on the property. Louis and Glenda went out of their way to spoil us for our wedding anniversary. It was a delightful surprise and we're so grateful to them. We highly recommend Kum Kula for a peaceful, 'feel at home' stay in the heart of Kruger bushveld.

    Nothing major, but access to the property is with a lock at the gate. Also the dirt track road could be difficult to drive up in wet conditions, just prepare yourself with a SUV.

    Breakfast was lovely and we sat on the front of our room to eat this. Views from the look out tour were a real highlight as you can see amazing sunsets and animals playing.

    The room was quite hot, something to stop the bugs in front of the window can help so you are able to open windows, load shedding also did not help as the fan did not work then

    Breakfast was great, delivered right to our doorstep each morning at the time we requested. Louis is on the property the whole time and can help with anything needed. There is a great sundowner deck where you can see the sunset and even the animals coming to drink water. The Zebra and giraffe walk right past your room to the water hole. We even heard the leopard one night

    Louis was an amazing host! he treat us very kindly and help us with anything we needed. He was very open with timetables and ready to help us at any time, also prepared breakfast for us in the hotel or to take away to our safari. The rooms were super cozy and very clean. Views were amazing but you don’t need to look to far as we had zebras walking in front of our room and giraffes drinking from the swimming pool. Completely recommend it!

    We were worried there was no TV, but to be honest, we didn't miss that because we were always busy viewing and he made us fire by the boma, so there was nothing to complain about.

    Our host took us around, river walk was the best and we saw lots of animals in the game reserve itself . We were served freshly baked muffins every morning, truly speaking they go all out for their guests, I'm booked for next year again.

    The shower was a little on the small side.....but a small price yo pay for an amazing experience overall.

    Dave was such a wonderful host. Extremely knowledgeable and informative about the area and the animals. Being able to sit on your front deck and have Giraffe, Wildebees, Nyala, zebra walk through the garden in front of you is incredibly special. Personal walk through the area and have a one on one. Also the incredible muffins provided as an added item to your breakfast. Thank you Dave for a very special weekend.

    absolutely nothing

    This was just awesome! We hat an amazing stay at Dave‘s & his families’ home. Highlights: - Dave‘s freshly baked Banana bread - Having dinner next to a giraffe & her baby. They were walking around the garden area for the whole time of our stay. - Having „Braai“ (BBQ) at a fire place along with some nice chat with other guests. There are only 4 accommodations; so it is very quite. - watching the antilopes after sunrise inside the garden - Dave gave a little bush tour where we learned a lot about the nature and animals in his reserve - Lia, the funny & lovely family dog Other than that, the lodged are very authentic, very comfy, with electricity and warm water. The gate to Kruger park is a 30 min drive. Anyway, you can see all kinds of animals already in this area (elefants, zebras, giraffes, antilopes - and if you are lucky lions & gepards) JUST BOOK IT!

    This place is awesome. Nicely located with animals around. You can spot giraffes throughout the day & bush babies at night. The pool and the viewing deck is great & Dave is the most amazing host someone could ask for. Thanks for the amazing stay, the pancakes, banane bread & the exciting bush walk.

    There is literally nothing to complain about! If something den probably just that a brighter light for the night and to pack in the morning would be useful :)
