We had a recent family stay at the Grand Kruger Lodge in the family chalet. The property is nestled in Marloth Park surrounded by animals roaming around freely. The staff were so welcoming and helpful which made our stay even more memorable. The property is very well maintained and the food included in the half-board option was so delicious. We also booked massages at the spa which we thoroughly enjoyed. We joined the activities offered by the lodge which were well organized and enjoyable. Thank you for an epic Kruger visit!

Here’s a polished version that keeps your tone but reads more smoothly and professionally:

Revised version:

The Grand Kruger Lodge delivered a wonderful experience from the moment I arrived, thanks largely to its exceptional staff who truly understand how to take care of their guests. The lodge is intimate and cosy yet still offers plenty of privacy with excellent outdoor amenity spaces. The owner is warm and welcoming, adding a personal touch to the stay. I will certainly be returning in the future.

Perfect place to relax, very close to the entrance to Kruger, the staff is great, the rooms are great, it has a big balcony and everyone is looking that you have a good time. Sadly we didn’t spend so much time in the hotel because we were planing to spend most of our time in the park

Arrived to do a self drive into Kruger the following day and we were greeted with what I considered mockery that we didn’t know we would need to make a timed day visit reservation. There were no available time slots left for the next day, so we had to forego our second booked night and book something inside the park in order to get in. Really glad we did because they played loud music until nearly 1 am. Do not stay here if you’re planning to wake up early. Impossible to sleep.

The resort is lovely, the staff provided excellent service so would recommend.
Unfortunately we had a bad experience with one of the tours we booked, the places visited were great but the transport provided (given advertised as a luxury tour) was unacceptable, a rickety dirty taxi!
The owner needs to take better ownership of this, we (group of 10) didn’t get a very good result when speaking to him of this.

Lovely place, well upkept

Our famly loved the place. Chances are high that you see a lot of animals. The rondavels are very well upkept and spacy, the staff very friendly and helpful. Marloth Park is a very safe and nice area.
So, why only four stars? It is the dinner served - somehow the amuse-bouche, the starter and even the main tasted like being directly out of the freezer.

Zebra, Wildebeast, Giraffe, warthog all roam freely! This great hotel is located inside a wildlife preserve. A 15 minute drive to the crocidile bridge gate for Kruger, this location is great. The staff and food was great. We felt right at home. The view and the animals that you can see from the streets, rooms, and just walking around is really impressive.

Loved this place!

The most enjoyable stay we've had anywhere in a long time. A beautiful and quiet place. The staff wait on you hand and foot and always seem to be busy doing something to keep the place looking fresh.
The chalets are unbelievably clean and well maintained. We were very comfortable.
The food is top rate. We especially enjoyed the meals cooked outdoors.
One of the unique things about Grand Kruger is the outdoor patio with chairs set in a wide circle around a fire pit. We sat for many hours (sometimes with the owner Leon) just enjoying the sounds of nature and conversations with other residents.
I highly recommend the Grand Kruger Lodge, but don't go there with the idea of tvs and internet. Enjoy the surroundings and take advantage of their many trips into the Kruger.

Weekend Holiday

Overall great place to stay for a trip into the Kruger. The food is top quality, but be sure to get breakfast early as the cut-off is 9am. The hot water is \"on demand\" and can be a little tempermental. The Luxury Bush Camp Suites are excellent and new contruction, unfortunately for our stay, one of the nights we had to stay in the main lodge as there was some off season construction improvements underway. Will definately return when the Bush Camp Suites are available.

Pricing right

The furniture in the entrance is dated, the lodge was under construction the morning we arrived.
we were put in a room next to construction so it was banging and drilling, when asked to move it seemed we were being an inconvenience.

The room we moved to was ok, lights were very dull?

otherwise the other staff were lovely, and the food was great.

For the price we paid, it was pleasant.

Lovely lodge close to the entrace of Kruger NP

My friend and I enjoyed a 3 night stay in the lovely Grand Kruger Lodge. The lodge is in Marloth Park in the middle of the beautiful nature and the perfect place for relaxation. The staff is all very helpful and we also enjoyed all our evening meals at the lodge. The lodge has furthermore got a nice swimming pool and are normally putting a lovely fire on every night. Furthermore we had the lodge to arrange a few evening safaris for us, which we really enjoyed very much. During the daytime we drow ourselves to Kruger NP, where the nearest entrance is only 20 minutes drive away. The only minus was the internet connection - which is very slow and extremely expensive - so avoid going online if you can.

Beautiful lodge with excellent service within the lovely Marloth Park and 15 mins drive from Kruger National Park. The guide was the best I've had (this was my 7th safari) and the food incredible. Get used to curious zebras and kudus wandering past as you sit out by the pool!

Schöne Lodge mit schlechter Zuwegung

Ein wunderbarer ruhiger und gepflegter Ort. Allerdings ist die Zufahrt schon etwas spektakulär mit tiefen Potholes/Löchern und grossen Steinen in der Schotterstrasse. Essen und Räumlichkeiten waren gut, der Service im Prinzip auch. Verbesserungswürdig wäre aber noch die Frühstückszubereitung. WIR mussten bis zu 45 Minuten auf unser Frühstück warten, obwohl wir am Abend vorher extra für 7 Uhr bestellt hatten!

Die Lodge an sich ist sehr schön. Personal, Essen, Einrichtung etc zum Wohlfühlen. Allerdings ist Marloth Park voller Ferienhäuser und Lodges. Teilweise sind die Straßen kaum befahrbar. Das ganze Gelände ist dichter Busch - wer sich Ausblick oder einen weiten Blick wünscht sollte woanders buchen.

Great experience, exhausting game drive

Good accomodations and very good food (dinner). We had two game drives, first one at night (excelent) and the other one from 5am to 2pm - until 10am is awesome,.but from 10am on, there is excessive heat and almost no animals to see. We suggest that the gamedrive can be purchased only from 05 to 10am, to be more productive and less exhaustive.

Fomos Roubados

Nunca fiquem nesse hotel. Vou iniciar dizendo que fomos roubados. Antes de chegarmos no hotel, estávamos em Cape Town e conferimos tudo que tínhamos, e durante nossa estadia conferimos novamente, por isso posso afirmar que tudo que nos foi roubado foi nesse hotel. Como eles oferecem o servico de café de manhã e jantar incluído na diária, eles estabelecem que das 19-21h vc deve ir jantar, e utilizam esse momento para entrar no quarto mais uma vez (tirando a limpeza normal), para deixar a cama arrumada e deixar um chocolate sobre ela, aí vc entra no quarto e acha uma tremendas gentileza. Acontece que isso é um subterfúgio para mexer nas suas coisas, já que ninguém se preocupa em deixar tudo trancado essa hora, imaginando que essa hora está tudo seguro, foi provavelmente nesse momento que nos ROUBARAM 371 dólares e 400 reais (muitos lugares na África do Sul trocam nossa moeda direto pro Rand, eu trocava diretamente por isso sei disso). Além disso, nos furtaram um HD externo que estava na bolsa e uma calça jeans preta feminina, que estava suja e numa sacola de mão que era carregada como bagagem de mão e nem era aberta, inclusive a calça foi usada durante um passeio lá e depois colocada na sacola. Infelizmente só percebemos isso quando chegamos ao aeroporto de Nelspruit e fomos contabilizar o dinheiro, então fomos ver o que mais estava faltando e percebemos a falta das outras coisas. Já viajei muito, não tenho porque mentir e só estou relatando isso porque tenho absoluta certeza.

Acolhedora hospedagem

Gostamos bastante de nossa estadia, tanto do conforto da hospedagem, quanto da qualidade dos serviços prestados. O que realmente nos encantou foi a simpatia dos funcionários do hotel, em especial Daniel e Edith, sempre muito solícitos. Boa comida também foi um ponto positivo. Tivemos apenas um desapontamento ao final da estadia quando, de forma inesperada, quiseram nos cobrar o valor referente a hospedagem das crianças, sendo que havíamos contratado o serviço tanto para adultos, quanto para crianças. Ao final, tal fato foi resolvido. Assim, qualificamos como muito boa nossa hospedagem

Great hotel!

Great hotel! Nice safaris, good food, comfortable beds. Harry provides excellent service!

The only minus as I see it is a little greed and they are happy to charge a little extra for everything. E. g. I paid transfer for two (since I was traveling alone) even though the driver was staying at the airport to pick another company up an hour later.
Also, internet is really expensive and only works every other day, but I guess that's what to expect out in the bush.

Naja die besten Zeiten sind vorbei

Die Zufahrt zur Lodge ist eine Zumutung. Ein normales nich geländetaugliches Fahrzeug ist nur in Schrittgeschwindigkeit über ca. 900 Meter zu bewegen. Service war OK. Frühstück Gut. Zimmerzustand befriedigend. Diese Lodge kann ich leider nicht weiter empfehlen.
