The hotel is beautifully decorated, the staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful with everything. We travelled with young kids and the chef always had some special kid friendly food freshly made in case they didn’t like the menu. The rooms are spacious and the surrounding by nature is beautiful. The location is perfect, it’s directly next to the gate of the Manyeleti game reserve and to the Orpen gate. So no need to travel far for the safari. The safari organized by the hotel was amazing too. They are well prepared with blankets, coffee breaks or afternoon drinks. And once you come back you are always warm welcomed with a wet towel and a big smile by the staff! We were extremely happy with our choice and would recommend to everyone to visit the Orpen Kruger!

This place exceeded our expectations. The staff was wonderful and the safari drives were incredible. We had Herbert as our tracker, and Julian as our game guide. Both fantastic and we saw the Big Five and more. Highlight was seeing the wild dogs. Great to chat to during sundowners and so informative with all the information on the animals. Julian also talked to us about various birds and trees along the way. This was a great addition in between looking for the animals. Molly, Dee and our butler Kevin were all wonderful. I couldn’t recommend this place more honestly. The staff was wonderful and attentive, everything was always extremely clean and the food was incredible. Pretty was the chef when we were there and the food was fantastic. We had the best 4 days we wish we stayed longer. The group dinners were very fun too.

We loved our stay at Kingfisher Cottage. Annie welcomed us and showed us around . The place was so clean and the gardens are beautiful. Loved the comfortable bed. We did a sunset game drive and saw zebra, giraffe, buffalo and warthogs.

Nice hosts, they prepared dinner for us for 150 ZAR/person on request, but the dinner was a 3-course buffet. Beef stew with rice, vegetable salad with dressing, Greek salad, and fruit salad for dessert. I have to say the food was the best of the whole holiday I have spent in Africa. Big comfortable bed and pillows, shower for 2. Close to Kruger park.

We decided on short notice to stay overnight at the Lodge, and left feeling rested and satisfied. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The dinner was good, and the breakfast was excellent. While there is no Wi-Fi in the rooms, it is available in the restaurant and main building. I would gladly recommend this place at any time for a peaceful and tranquil bush experience.
