Offering garden views, Langa Langa Safari Camp - Inc 2 Kruger Safaris Daily in Sabi Sand Game Reserve offers accommodation, an outdoor swimming pool, a garden, a shared lounge, a terrace and a bar. The lodge features both WiFi and private parking free of charge. We loved that you can do safari drives in both the Kruger national park, which is huge, and the Sabi Sands that is more intimate and you can get a little closer to the animals. The staff make this place amazing, all so kind and accommodating. We loved our guide Percy who really went above and beyond on our drives, and Matt who was really accommodating, plus all other staff (too many to mention). The food was great, all meals. The tents are nicer than expected with really comfortable, large beds, air con and a good shower/bathroom. The pool area is also really nice and they are building a second. Overall really great value and the perfect safari experience. We hope to return again!

Featuring mountain views, Isambane Camp in Balule Game Reserve features accommodation, an outdoor swimming pool, a garden, a shared lounge, a terrace and a bar. Both WiFi and private parking are accessible at the lodge free of charge. We had the time of our lives at Isambane Camp. Everything was just perfect and well managed. From the minute we arrived we felt welcome. The camp is really intimate, the decoration is amazing and I don’t even talk about the staff who we’ll really miss. The food is astonishing thanks to the amazing chef. The game drives are so much interesting thanks to the wonderful guides. We got to learn about nature, birds, trees and a lot of animals. We felt so sad to leave this amazing place and this team who will do everything for you to have the best experience possible. If you hesitate between multiple lodges, you will take the right direction going to Isambane. Special mention to Nat with whom we did most of our game drive and taught us so much things about the bush, thank you again ! We really hope we’ll be able to comeback again 😃

Certain chalets are equipped with a bath, shower and free toiletries, while one chalet, known as chiDanga, is equipped with an en suite shower which opens onto the deck.

Lovely setting around a magnificent pool area,and large luxury tent accomodation.Food was fabulous, and the game drives were great,in particular our last morning one where we sat amongst a pride of lions,and then a herd of Elephants.Thanks Hardis (and Valerie),and Neil.

Pondoro has three architecturally designed chalets overlooking the Olifants River. Each chalet has been beautifully decorated with an African theme. All chalets have en-suite bathrooms (with a shower and bath overlooking the river), lounge area, air-conditioning, mosquito nets and a wooden deck. A truly fantastic experience. Chalets were very spacious, comfortable, well stocked, surrounded by wildlife and offered great views onto the Olifant river below. The main lounge/ dining area and bar was very well furnished and inviting. The staff were amazing, always smiling, attentive and ready to go the extra mile for superlative service. Food menus were delicious and different everyday. Game drives were always a unique experience, and due to the healthy populations of so many animals, offered great pictures. The highlights had to be the giraffe greeting us as we walked out onto our chalet veranda after check-in, the 14 rhino we saw over 4 days (including a female black rhino with calf), the 3 young male lions with their off-shoot new pride, the wild dogs trying to retrieve an impala carcass from a water hole, the male inyala that confronted us as we exited our room one day, the hippo stretching it’s jaws as it fed on the bank of the river, the spotted eagle owl perched at the top of a tree at sunset, the very young elephant attempting a false charge and finally the female leopard stalking a steenbuck at night. The game driver and tracker were extremely knowledgeable about the animals, the birds and the fauna and always surprised us with different drinks and snacks during our breaks. Pondoro definitely has a winning formula! The location itself on the river is a safari experience; we saw elephant, giraffe, hippos, crocodiles, waterbuck, nyala, baboons, kudu, impala and many birds just from the relaxing environment of our veranda. The staff’s attention to detail is what stands out most, including helping me celebrate my 60th birthday with sparkling wine, song, dance and cake to make it a really memorable occasion and an incredible 5 nights at the lodge. Special mention also to the Black Mambas all-women anti-poaching unit which we visited, and with whom Pondoro has an active participation with. All-in-all 5 ++ stars.
