Pestana Kruger Lodge is situated less than a kilometre away from Malelane Gate, the most southern entrance to the Kruger National Park.
The Lodge is surrounded by 22ha of indigenous gardens and bush with magnificent views of the Crocodile River, which forms the border with the Kruger National Park.
It’s a rare pleasure to watch the hippos so close by; and the other animals as they stroll down to the river for a drink of water or to cool down. And safari game drives take visitors on unforgettable outings.
Pestana Kruger Lodge is a great get-away for families wanting a relaxing holiday in the African bush. The Lodge is also ideal for conferences and can cater for up to 150 delegates.

First of all will I rate the staff as very professional and very humble, this is a very important issue for the reputation. After this will I mention the entire establishment with accommodation, restaurants, food and other facilities.

Service is great but the facility needs to be cleaned more often (lots of rubbish and papers lying all over) and the showers are not nice (you keep sliding down into the middle of the shower).
