My husband and I stayed at Royal Kruger Lodge for 6 nights in April 2013 and it was a dream come true! We were picked up at the airport by Sam who was very friendly and talkative! We arrived at the lodge and was greeted not only by Leanne (who is wonderful) but by the resident herd of Zebras, which... More

Can highly recommend Royal Kruger Lodge. Very warm friendly atmosphere, management and staff made our holiday the best holiday for a long time. Julia's cooking was amazing, and guides that took us on game drives very knowledgable. We were lucky to see the Big 5 on both days. We had a very relaxed and enjoyable time and would highly recommend... More

Spent 6 nights at Royal Kruger Lodge in Feb/Mar this year. What an experience. Although we reserved our stay with a GroupOn voucher, we received the royal treatment. The accommodation was 5-star, and we were wanting for nothing. The service was outstanding. It was an atmosphere of relaxation, combined with the excitement of what we would find on Julia's menu...

There are so many reviews on the Lodge lately that I feel like an also-ran. But - this is the best holiday I have ever had - and I've been to a lot of countries and amazing places. The Lodge is like an extended family - only 10 rooms, so everyone mixes and gets to know each other. Zebras and... More

We have just returned from a once in a lifetime visit to Royal Kruger Lodge. The accommodation had just the correct degree of atmospheric furnishing and appropriate comfort. The full breakfast was good but dinner held out in by the fire in true African game safari style was an experience not to be missed. Both our game drives led by... More

My husband & I LOVED our holiday at Royal Kruger Lodge. Prior to our trip it was very assuring to have every email that I sent answered in a matter of hours by Vic. Our air-conditioned airport transfer to RKL was all booked on our behalf and from the very moment that we arrived at the lodge we were made... More

I have spent about 2 years in total overseas visiting 24 countries and this last holiday was the best holiday, by far, I have ever been... More

We spent 6 nights at the lodge in March. After reading the eloquent reviews of other guests, some who were there at the same time as we were, I can only day "ditto". The ambiance, amenities, Julia's cooking, Robert and Rick's guiding, and outdoor shower were ingredients for a memorable experience. Thank you Vic, Tim, Leanne and Lynette for your... More

Royal Kruger Lodge what a magnificent special place, from the extremely warm and welcoming people to the stunning array of animals and birds. This was our first trip to Africa and most definitely wont be our last. Every moment we spent here was an experience.

My friend and I just returned from an amazing stay here at RKL. It was definitely a once in a lifetime experience I will never forget! Sorry for the novel, but it didn't seem like many Americans came here so I thought I’d give a detailed (holy novel Batman!) review for fellow Yanks as well as everyone looking for a... More
