Nothing much. Just note that the resort is not a whole Big 5 resort, but a game drive to Kruger national park or other B ig5 reserves can be arranged.

Incredible owner and staff.(S/O to Francis, Sipho, Michael, Tiyani) Got upgraded to the Riverside villa at the resort. The food was great, the tranquility and privacy 👌🏽 Extra activities are there to choose from, we enjoyed the massage so much.

Francis, Sipho, Gert, and the team are amazing people who go all out for their guests! We had a truly wonderful holiday. The special add-ons were appreciated! Will definitely be back.

The toilet is not separate from the bedroom (ie no door) - not a big issue, but means you can hear everything!

Pretty boutique lodge. We stayed in the honeymoon riverside villa, which was very private and secluded. Lovely room with view out to the small river and some animals. Liked the outdoor shower. Staff and owner Frances couldn’t do enough for you, always happy to see you and went the extra mile the whole time we were there for our honeymoon - we felt very special. Driver collects and drops you for meals and drives as the villa is about 1.5km from the main lodge, so you can have a drink if you like! Area outside the villa to park if you bring your own car which we did. Food was very good, lots of options. They offer several additional choices to book like Kruger drives, hot air balloon, cruise etc. We took the helicopter flight and really enjoyed it!

Everything was perfect 🤩

Amazing place, excellent experience. The suite in the reserve was amazing. Living amongst the nature was exceptional. Staff were THE BEST. Gert (guide) THE SUPERMAN guide made us feel so special , he was so patient during game drives and answered all our silly questions 😂. Sipho (butler) service was top notch, spoilt us with a lot of drinks 😂. Lucky (chef) was a master chef , delicious authentic food and desserts, definitely gained some calories 😂. Finally, Francis (owner) , you made our experience so memorable, it was so personal and we were treated so well. We had a Picture perfect 10th year anniversary at Maroelani.

I love the privacy.

Connectivity was an issue, but this may be a common problem in the area. In addition, when my sons were at the BnB, power went out twice. These seemed like teething issues, though.

The food was excellent, the staff fantastic, and the setting beautiful. The plans for the lodge are ambitious and I don't doubt that it will pay off in the future. So impressed!

Beautiful place located outside of everything and everyone. The property was easy to get to and the lodge was always ready to take our calls.

It is set in an amazing location, where giraffes and other animals wonder around. The property has everything you need and the owner is so lovely and will help with any requests. Lots of attention to detail in the property and even with the food presentation. Perfect place to stay!

Internet could be better, although it was good to enjoy some days off.

Everything, since the pick up at the airport to the drives on their reserve and the neighbors. Staff did everything to please us and surprised us in the last night with an extra romantic decoration for the room. Also, our last breakfast was by the damn watching the giraffes.

Nothing at all. I loved everything about Maroelani lodge

Very beautiful and one gets the privacy they need to relax and enjoy their stay

This place is the best lodge we have visited in the Kruger area! The game drives, very informative and a lot of fun. The food is delicious and the hospitality is excellent. And the rooms are nothing we have ever experienced; beautiful outside shower, cozy hammock and nice views over the wildlife.

Gorgeous property on its own preserve. Main Lodge is cozy and the bungalows are very comfortable and have just what you need for a nice rest. The staff is amazing and so down to earth you feel like you’re with family.

Everything about our stay was amazing. Francis and the team went above and beyond to make sure we had the most incredible time. The tree house was beautiful with views out into the bush. Louis was a great game driver sharing so much knowledge and having fun with us the whole time and working hard to make sure we saw the most animals we could. The food was delicious and they made sure you would enjoy everything. Nothing was too much for the staff - it really felt like a family and they welcomed you in and gave the best experience. I can’t wait to stay here again!!

The only thing not to like is that our stay had to come to an end.

Wonderful, wonderful place. We had the the time of our lives at this incredible location, full of welcoming and helpful people who went over and beyond to make sure we had an unforgettable trip.
