Das Personal war unglaublich freundlich und zuvorkommend und haben uns alle Wünsche von den Lippen abgelesen. Wer auf der Suche nach einer luxuriösen Safarilodge ist, sollte unbedingt die Emhosheni Lodge besuchen. Das fantastische Mittagessen gemeinsam mit Freunden auf der Aussichtsterasse mit Blick auf die Hippos im Oliphants River, die Eric für uns eingedeckt und uns frische Cocktails gemixt hat werden wir nie vergessen. Auch die Game Drives waren klasse. ##### Lukas Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maria Emilia Jun 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Ficamos hospedados por 4 dias! Dias incríveis e que sempre lembraremos com muito carinho! Nós sentimos em casa, atenção e receptividade de todos no hotel foram demais! Equipe de hotel não sabe o que fazer para agradar! Área do hotel privilegiada, do hotel já conseguimos ver praticamente todos animais da varanda do nosso quarto! Safaris que hotel fornece amamos! Gostaríamos de deixar um abraço para todos que trabalham e estiveram cuidado de nós esses dias! Cardápio foi preparado de acordo com que pedimos! Todos sempre sorridentes e prontos para nos atender! Se um dia voltarmos para África do Sul, certeza que ficaremos aí! Obrigada por tudo ! ##### Maria Emilia Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Hanna Dec 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Sehr zuvorkommendes Personal, die Unterkunft wurde mit Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet . Der Service ist top! Eine herrliche Ruhe herrscht dort. Man kann super entspannen! Leider konnte man bei den Game Drives nicht so viel sehen , wie im Krüger Nationalpark selbst , da das Territorium auf dem gefahren wird nicht sehr groß ist. Bei längeren Aufenthalten wird wohl aber ein Tagesauflug in den Krüger angeboten . ##### Hanna Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jonas Nov 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Jonas Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael Nov 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities sehr tolle Lodge mit super freundlichem Personal, die bei jedem Anliegen helfen. Von der Lodge kann man am daneben liegenden Fluss Wildtiere beobachten. Wir waren 3 Nächte hier und haben mehrere Elefanten, Giraffen, Hippos, Antilopen, Affen und Warzenschweine gesehen. Die Lodge bietet Safaris im Privatreservat mit eigenem, sehr erfahrenen Ranger an. Wir konnten auf 3 Safaris (2x morgens, 1x Abends) Giraffen, Elefanten, Zebras, viele Antilopenarten, einen Schakal und eine Löwenfamilie bestaunen. Achtung: der Weg vom Tor neben der Hauptstraße zur Lodge ist eine holprige,unbfestigte Straße von 13km! Ein SUV ist ein muss. ##### Michael Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### DANIEL Sep 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excelente estadia Exceto pelo vexame que passei na hora do checkout (ausência de repasse da expedia dos valores das diárias) a estadia foi excepcional.
