Everything was excellent. The back-power was a lifesaver, as was the misquito net over the bed. The Alexa voice system for controlling lights etc. was very useful. We had lots of animal visitors: warthog, duiker, bushbuck, impala, wildebeest and eight male kudu. P.S. We accidentally set off the alarm and an armed security guard arrived within minutes. This made us feel very safe!

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.

We loved everything about Jock. For us, it was a little piece of heaven. We had the most incredible stay of our lives and made the most amazing memories, never to be forgotten. A trip to Kruger is a lifetime experience, and staying at Jock was definitely the cherry on top. If you're reading this and thinking of booking, then do it! You really won't regret it. The staff could not do more for you, you only had to think about another glass of wine and one was put in front of you. My gosh, do they love to feed you too, if it's not breakfast, lunch, or dinner, there is a morning or afternoon snack on the go. Definitely expect to eat your fill here! The rooms themselves are slightly on the small side, but this is more than accounted for in the outside space. A real must is a night outside on the daybed, I tried this (the other half wasn't brave enough), and it was an experience in itself. Our ranger Micha was absolutely incredible. What a true asset to the team at Jock he was. He had a way of ensuring we were in the right spot at the right time to see some of the most amazing widelife sightings you can imagine. His cheeky sense of humour had us on our toes, too, with him clearly enjoying winding us up with his "facts", he was just amazing. The little extras during the game drives, such as indulging in a rangers special (hot chocolate with Amarula) in some of the most spectacular landscapes are also memories to be forever cherished. Nothing is overlooked during a stay at Jock. Hopefully one day we will be able to return.

    Skukuza is a gem—especially if you want that mix of real bush experience without giving up comfort. It’s one of the bigger camps in Kruger, so there’s quite a bit going on, but it still manages to feel peaceful. Favourite spots: We really enjoyed the early morning drives around the park. We were self-driving but cleverly kept an eye on the guided tour operator vehicles, and that helped us catch most of the big sightings. It made the whole experience exciting and rewarding. Where we ate: We mostly self-catered but had a nice meal at the Kruger Hotel on our first evening after arriving past 7 pm. Most of our shopping was done at the Park Shop inside the camp—it was well-stocked and convenient. We even bought some game meat (like kudu and impala), which we braaied once we returned to Rixile. It was delicious and made for a real bush-style dinner. Getting around: Very easy. The camp is drivable and well signposted. If you’re self-driving (as most people are), Skukuza is a great central base for game drives, with plenty of routes and good animal sightings in every direction. Activities for groups of friends: Game drives are the highlight—we had some unforgettable ones. I'd also suggest booking a guided morning drive and, if you're feeling adventurous, trying different types of game meat like wildebeest, crocodile, or impala. It’s a fun experience to share as a group. Evenings back at camp were equally special—braaiing under the stars, swapping stories, and comparing notes on sightings. Skukuza offers just the right balance of wild and comfortable.

    I saw loads of the animals I was looking for, Giraffe, Rhino, Impala, Crocodile, Elephants Kudu, and even a couple of Lions and 2 Leopards. Saw the Wild Dogs and Buffalo. I also played golf at Skukuza Golf Club which was a bit of fun. Everyone was friendly and we always felt safe.

    Located close skukuza gate of the Kruger national park. It was value for money. Friendly staff and helpful. Missed having a kitchen portion, as it was not self catering. Really enjoyed our stay there.

    Great park, amazing wildlife, fantastic experience.

    Great park, amazing wildlife, fantastic experience. This being said, it is not a zoo! Don't expect to see all the existing animals in the parc! Some are easy to spot and other not so much, this is real animal kingdom and it's difficult to say who is watching who! Sun sets are also amazing with beautiful colors. Vegetation is small but dense(bushes). According to our guide it is easier to spot the animal during winter / dry season. Bushes hve less leaves making easier spotting animals and the animals gather around the water spot. During summer it is the opposite. Bushes are more dense and r'there is water everywhere making animal spotting more difficult. So an advice: winter is great for animals but of course temperature are lower so be prepared for low temperature and bring some warm clothes.

    This is a 10/10 property. Right in the Kruger national park, so close to the Skukuza airport and has an incredible view of the river. Even though we went during the wet season we saw plenty of animals including lion cubs. The staff here ensure that you get the best service, they are super attentive and friendly (our wait staff, particularly Polite and Sma were wonderful)! Our guide Sidney was a legend. This is a truly unique and luxury experience, we would highly recommend!!

    A beautiful home with all the luxuries you could hope for. Heated pool, sunny terrace, private boma and well-kitted kitchen. The bedrooms, outside shower and relaxing bath felt like a personal hotel suite within the home. Also the excellent service (from the reception to the daily cleaning staff) deserve a special mention. We loved our stay.
