This train is just the most stunning hotel, the carriage is just amazing, with wonderful views over the river, we even saw a family of hippopotamus crossing from our window. all the food was delicious (on check-in day you have lunch included), chef quality, with an amazing diversity. The games are really nice, we saw 4 of the big fives and at the end of the day they stop in a nice spot for drinks, just perfect for sunset! The quality, beauty, decoration and the staff of the hotel are just top! They even let us do a late check-out! A must go!

Umkumbe Safari Lodge is a great place to stay if you are looking cut yourself off from the hustle bustle of the city life and spend a couple of nights away from civilization. It is right there admist the wild with very little access to the internet. The game drives provided by the guides & trackers are very informative and they try their best to get you a close view of the Big 5. It is absolutely safe and you will love your experience of the wild with Umkumbe Safari Lodge. They clean the room and prepare your bed twice a day which is awesome.

It is very conveniently located near the airport and elegantly furnished. Exceptional staff: helpful, friendly, smiling. For Europeans, almost too concerned with the guests’ well-being. They can solve any problem smoothly. Credit card payment everywhere. Didn’t check the pool, temperature wasn’t too inviting. We might come back on our honeymoon. The picture is the entrance of the village, the lodge itself is in the same style but more elegantly designed. If you wanna impress your gal, you’ve found the right place.

Lion Sands was an incredible experience! The room we stayed in was like its own private villa with every amenity you could want. The safari drives were amazing, and the staff was what really made our stay special. Our guide Albert and tracker Mishak were the best! They really went above and beyond to make sure we saw every animal possible, and were so knowledgable and fun to be around. Emotion was our waiter the whole time and he always made sure we had everything we wanted! Fortune was also amazing and helped us with our camera rental. Everyone who worked there was so welcoming and professional.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Service is top notch and food is the best! I loved all my meals there and I stayed there for 3 nights. Breakfast has a huge spread and there’s something different every night for dinner. Huge kudos to Silence and Linda for the best service and meals! Don’t miss the game drives. It’s the best way to see animals in Kruger. The game drives are in Kruger and I got to see leopard, lions and the very elusive wild dogs. Kruger gate is about 20 minutes drive from the lodge (I self drive into the park for my own afternoon drive). Rooms are comfortable and very comfortable beds. You can hear hyenas and lions calling in the middle of the night (although there aren’t any animals on property).

Impeccable location. Secluded, serene and special. You’re welcomed with open arms and are readily catered to your needs. Take the time to slow down - or else you miss the hidden treasures. Game drives with experienced guides & trackers, and service staff to make the best of each moment. Thank you, team. It was a pleasure.

    We loved the lodge. It was a truly special experience. Everything. The safari, the food, the environment of the hotel, the facilities, the staffs. It is an expensive experience, but totally worth it if you have the chance to invest!

    I had the pleasure of experiencing several game drives at Jock Safari Lodge recently, and I must say that the expertise and dedication of our ranger truly enhanced the entire adventure. He exhibited an exceptional knowledge of the local flora and fauna, providing insightful information and making each game drive an educational and memorable experience. His passion for wildlife conservation was evident, creating a contagious enthusiasm.

    Nothing because the house offered was not what we had booked . On booking.com the properties are not listed as lodges but villas so we got a very old house and the pictures are a mixture of all the places at elephant point

    The highlights were the location of the Train above the Sabi River - unbeatable! Beautiful, well positioned pools, decks, bars and chill areas provide a world class safari and luxurious atmosphere. The food offering at all meals was the best we have experienced at any five star game lodge in South Africa - exceptional! Special dietary requirements are particularly well catered for and the all inclusive drinks policy is a bonus. Staff customer orientation is outstanding - all guest requests were accommodated with enthusiasm.
