Guest Rating:

Welcome to Elephant Walk Retreat.

Set on a tranquil estate at the Crocodile Bridge entrance to the Kruger National Park, no more than 50 meters from the gate, one could not hope to find a more suitable base from which to explore the wonders of Kruger.

A comfortable four-hour drive from Johannesburg, Elephant Walk is the perfect "stopover" on route to Mozambique, or as a destination.

This superb little retreat caters for the discerning tourist and business traveler.

All accommodation are fully self-catering.

Elephant Walk Retreat is primarily a game destination and a perfect base for self drives into the game rich South-Eastern corner of Kruger.

Guests may also elect to join a qualified Ranger on an open vehicle Game Drive. Outstanding sightings of the "Big 5" will certainly delight our guests.

Early morning bush walks into Kruger, is an absolute must, for the serious nature lover. Experience the adrenalin rush when you meet one of the "big five" face to face on the trail. Your bush guides can answer most of your questions.

Guests can on request experience the superb cuisine of Elephant Walk, on a half board (Breakfast and Dinner) basis.

The resident Portuguese chef specializes in Portuguese cuisine, fresh tiger prawns, char grilled chicken and delicious steaks are all the order of the day. Reservations are essential.

It is good, but not worth at the price.

The facility was fabulous. We truly loved our stay and the proximity to the Kruger Park and Crocodile River was great. On the down side there was no interaction from the management, no assistance or advice on available activities in the area not even game drives. These need to be arranged with the Kruger Park directly.

The location at the gate of Kruger Park is really excellent when leaving after a long day driving. Swimming pool has been very appreciated by children. Comfort of accommodation brought us back to 80's but view on the river and game drinking at breakfast time is a must. It is a cheap place for the service.Nice welcome and Internet available.
