Fantastic stay.

Great little place if you want to avoid some of the more exorbitant places in kruger. Saw the big 5 after a day and a half, plus cheetah, giraffe, hippo and plenty more. The 3 nights we stayed was plenty.

Great service but not enough animals

We did enjoy Shiduli, the crued was amazing and the food was delicious. The problem is that are not enough animals at the reserve. Going to Kruger is much more recommended if your goal is to see the big5. One thing more is that everything extra is cost based. Drive safetly near the reserve, the cups search for tourists to get some money from them.

Lovely place to visit

I booked this for my daughter & her boyfriend as a break whilst they were volunteering in South Africa. They absolutely loved it. The hotel / food were really good and the game drives superb - seeing a wide variety of animals at close quarters. The knowledgeable rangers join the guests at dinner which adds to the experience. They loved it so much they decided to stay for a 2nd night!

Les safaris étaient super ! Le ranger et le tracker ont été parfaits. Le jardin de l'hôtel est splendide et les différents salons très agréables. C'est un havre de paix. Par contre, les piscines ne sont pas très propres, eaux troubles et pas très propres.

Great to see the big five!!

Shiduli was the perfect place to go for a Safari. We managed to spot all big five, Evans was a great guide and Joel a great tracker. They were very patient explaining all they knew about the animals and enviroment. They also chose the best spots to see the animals and have some snacks as we would see the sunset. The staf were also very kind and helpful, ready to fulfill any request. The food was amazing and the places to rest between one game drive and another very relaxing.
The rooms were clean and confortable.

Uma boa opção de hotel com Safari incluso !

O hotel tem um staff amigável, e nos receberam com um welcome drink
Tem os safaris as 15h30 e as 06h00
Pontos negativos: o quarto não tem tv ou wi-fi. Alem disso no Safari de manhã, o café da manhã só é servido após o Safari e não servem sequer bolachinhas ou algo ( ou seja você acorda às 05 e só vai comer as 09h30). Alem disto a refeição no Safari da tarde e as opções no almoço e café da manhã poderiam ser mais completas pelo valor

Schöner Safari Aufenthalt mit super Küche !

Toller Safari Aufenthalt, in zwei Tagen haben wir Big Five und viele andere Tiere gesehen, uns am Pool gesonnt und entspannt. Wir haben uns bei jeder Mahlzeit über exzellente Speisen und zuvorkommenden Service gefreut
Sehr freundliche bemühte Gastgeber, zt mit sehr gutem Deutsch
Absolut zu empfehlen, tolles Preis-Leistungs Verhältnis, besonders im Vergleich zu den deutlich teureren Lodges der Sabi Sand Region

Safari no Shiduli

Foi muito legal. Esse hotel é localizado dentro da reserva do parque e achei ótima a experiência de estar ali. O hotel faz vc se sentir realmente dentro da savana e cria um clima bem safari mesmo. O pessoal é muito educado mas o wi-fi é muito fraco, não sei se pela localização. Mas os safari que fizemos (4) foram maravilhooooosos. O pessoal trabalha muito bem e não mede esforços para que vc consiga ver os big 5 da Africa. Mas a comida é muito fraca, insossa quase se tempero. Não se tinha muitas variedades nas refeições pelo preço pago. Mas os pontos altos são mais do que os negativos. RECOMENDO ESSE HOTEL .

Je conseille vivement.

Un excellent hotel pour faire des safaris et voir les fameux big five. Pisteurs expérimentés et super sympas. Des souvenirs exceptionnels resteront gravés dans nos mémoires.
Les repas sont bons. Les chambres sont jolis, même si un peu petites.
Seul bémol, le wifi qui n'est dispo que dans les parties communes de l'hotel et avec un débit on ne peut plus lent. Dommage...

Hôtel confortable et idéal pour les safaris

Cet hôtel est extrêmement confortable. 2 safaris par jour (3 heures le matin 3 heures l'après midi) sont organisés à bord de jeeps de 9 personnes maximum, ce qui permet d'apprécier et d'approcher les animaux de très prés. Un guide et un pisteur se chargent de nous faire découvrir cette faune et cette flore incroyables. Entre les safaris, la terrasse, la piscine ou la chambre sont d'excellents endroits pour passer le temps...qui passe hélas trop vite !

Viel zu kleine Zimmer

Für den Preis völlig ungenügende zimmergrösse, alles wirkt alt, die Anlage wirkt wie ein Jugendherberge. Insgesamt enttäuschend.
