Maroelani Lodge- Greater Kruger Private Reserve

The staff went above and beyond in everything that they did to make our stay memorable. The location is stunning and allows for complete relaxation.

Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen und betreut. Das Essen ist sehr lecker. Die Köchin informiert über das geplante Menü und ist für Wünsche offen. Die Safaris waren toll - wir haben sehr viele Giraffen, Zebras und Büffel gesehen. Bei einer organisierten Big 5 Tour haben wir dann noch Löwe, Nilpferd und Nashorn gesehen. Auch die Bootstour war super & mit Krokodilsichtung. Es ist eine sehr schöne und sehr gepflegte Anlage - von der privaten Unterkunft aus konnten wir Giraffen beobachten. Privatsphäre zu 100% vorhanden. Uns wurden alle Wünsche von den Augen abgelesen.

The stay was absolutely fantastic! The staff went above and beyond to make us feel completely at home and ensure that we had the most wonderful experience. The safaris with Bright, our ranger, were truly magical and unforgettable. The food was also outstanding. We would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an amazing stay!

Nothing

Beautiful bush and grounds, nicely decorated common area. Friendly stuff.

The lodge deserves only 3 stars. The game drives at the reserve are not interesting, you need to visit the Kruger park (1,5 hours away) and pay the entrance fee, or visit the neighbouring private reserve. Internet connection is poor. The water in the faucet was not available until 8 in the morning and shower did not provide comfortable water temperature (it was switching from cold to very hot). The food is ordinary, little fruit or vegetables, the same dish is served to everybody. The only choice you can make is for breakfast. There’s no list of available drinks with their prices. We were surprised with a huge bill only at the end of our stay. So ask many questions at the beginning as the owner tends to make many promises that she later does not deliver.
