"Foi uma das experiências mais incríveis que eu tive. O Safari em si é fantástico, mas o atendimento que eu recebi é forma que eles fizeram para eu me sentir bem não tenho como avaliar aqui. Foi fantástico. O hotel bem aconchegante pra poucas pessoas, o que deixou a experiência mais fantástica possível. Excelente atendimento de Nina, Octávio e Kid. Na verdade todos nós atenderam muito bem, mas esses três marcaram minha experiência lá. Nosso Ranger fez de tudo para encontrar os big fives. Víamos...

"Very nicely appointed rooms and a big walk in shower, separate from the tub. The main lobby was beautiful, restaurant is very nice. They also offer room service. There is also a nice spa on campus, but we did not have time to investigate. Breakfast was included, the hotel offers a lovely buffet. Also noticed after the fact, that I did not receive the 20% off a restaurant order offered through Expedia for Key members. I would stay here again."

Top Balule Game Reserve Hotel Reviews

Radisson Safari Hotel Hoedspruit

8/10 Good

MILIMA Big 5 Safari Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Mycket välskött lodge ned trevlig personal. Fantastisk mat. Bra safari med kunnig guide som hittade de bästa platserna. Bodde i ett av deras tält med bra dusch, toalett samt en skön säng. Finns en pool och utanför en vattendamm där man ser elefanter, zebror, buffel. Bara plus"

Cape Vulture Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"I should preface this review by saying that I am a professional wildlife photographer. I have stayed at dozens of safari lodges both, expensive high-end and ‘budget’ all over Southern and East Africa. The Cape Vulture Lodge, is exceptional! I simply cannot praise it enough. If you require accommodation in this part of South Africa, this is the place to stay! It is very close to the ‘Panorama Route Drive’ and the spectacular Blyde River Canyon, Bourkes Luck Potholes, and a few large waterfalls. The location of the lodge is stunning, at the base of towering Drakensberg cliffs, complete with nesting ledges of the rare, endangered Cape Vulture. The individual ‘tents’ (more like canvas cabins on raised wooden platforms) are spotlessly clean and well appointed with large beds surrounded with mosquito nets, comfortable furniture, elegant bathrooms with both indoor and outdoor showers. Antelope and giraffes often stroll by. The main building with the deck, lounge, bar and dining area, is contemporary safari style covered by a thatched roof. The staff, from the manager to the cleaners are all very friendly, polite and exceptionally helpful. Oh, the food! The lady chef is exceptional, frankly the very best in Africa! The meals are inventive, well presented and gourmet delicious, with all dietary restrictions catered for! Sustainability is part of their ethos, power is all solar. They grow their own vegetables. They offer a multitude of wildlife based activities."

Raptor Retreat Game Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Sharmaine, Kieth, and the entire team at Raptor Retreat have created the perfect sanctuary for anyone looking to escape work, phones, and the stresses of daily life. We stayed in the "Rhino" unit, and it was immaculate. The beds are comfortable, and the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need—just bring your own food to cook/braai/bbq and drinks, and you’re completely set. We absolutely loved spending time on the patio, sitting by the splash pool and boma. It is a truly magical experience to watch the wildlife right from your own space, especially when elephants decide to pay a visit! A special shout-out to Constance, who runs the kitchen; she was phenomenal at accommodating our dietary requirements for breakfast and ensuring we were well taken care of. The warmth and friendliness of the entire staff really stand out. Out in the bush, Kieth and Anthony were expert game-drive guides. Over our five-day stay, we encountered an array of amazing wildlife, including four of the Big 5 (we’ll just have to come back to track down the buffalo!). If you’re ready to embrace a digital detox, you will have the greatest adventure at Raptor Retreat. This was our second visit, and we already can't wait for our third!"
