Maravilhoso. Hotel 5 estrelas mssmo. Atendimento exepcional. Tudo limpo, bonito, comida maravilhosa servida em sistema de pratos a la carte mas sempre com apenas 1 opcao no almoço e 3 no jantar. Café da manhã buffet e vc pode pedir algumas coisas como omelete, ovos, etc.. o lado com vista para o lago é meljor, achei mais seguro relacionado a animaos chegarem oerto. Mas nesse lado so tem quattos para casal. No lado do rio tem quartos familia e é mais indicado para quem viaja com cdiancas. A noite da um medo de sair do restaurante e jr para o quarto mas os funcionários dizem nao ter perigo Só fizemos safari a tarde porque estava chovendo e não teve o da nos dias em que ficamoa, mas foi super legal e o guia Rudolph foi super atenciosos e sabia muito sobre os animaos para nos explicar.

This is a little piece of paradise. Under Neville’s management nothing ever felt “out of control” or ever too much. Their hospitality, the service and concern for guests is what makes this place unique. The animals make it special. Sindiso our guide made sure that every drive was filled with as much sightings and information as possible. He is very knowledgeable not only on the animals but on the birds and trees as well. Walking out of your room seeing the giraffes, lounging in the pool or on the patio with the zebra’s grazing close by and the hippos in the pond. You certainly don’t go hungry either, Sibosiso the cook made sure we were always well fed and you could see and feel the love he put into his cooking. Sibosiso the server was always there with something refreshing to drink. The cleaning staff made sure our room was always picture perfect and clean. The gardeners were always cleaning up and making sure the grounds were perfect, and I mean artist perfect. From beginning to end everyone at Elandela made our stay extremely memorable and we will definitely be back. I can not recommend this place strongly enough, these are the memories and friends you will never forget. Thank you for making my husband’s first safari special.

Perfect from the moment we touched down at Hoedspruit airport . Waiting for us was Sandy who collected our luggage and whisked us off through the wildlife ( giraffes and warthogs meandering around the roads) and straight to Elandela where we we received a very warm welcome from Francisco and Sindy. We were shown around the spotlessly clean facilities , greeted by the staff and taken to our beautiful lodge facing the lake. Amazing large room with extra large bathroom with separate toilet, indoor and outdoor shower, large whirlpool bath , sun terrace front and back. Tea and coffee making facilities and well stocked fridge. First class restaurant serving excellent choice of food throughout our stay. Attentive staff ensuring we had an amazing stay. Excellent first class guides on the game drives who would find the impossible possible. So friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend Elandela. Cannot fault it. Everything absolutely first class all the way.

This place is a must go. From the moment you checkin and are greeted by Francisco to the time you leave, you feel like the most important person in the world. The guides we had (Simon, Rudolph) were incredible and got us up close and personal with the animals. We will be taking our family back!

The staff was amazing and went well above expectations. We saw all of thebig 5 as well as numerous other animals. Great place to stay. Don’t book through expedia though and book through their site.

From arrival to departure we could not have been more pleased in every way. The guides on the drives were outstanding. Brenda, a coordinator could not have been more helpful. The dining room was very nice. The area is suffering an extreme multi year drought, which is causing dire consequences for animals and the landscape, both here and in Kreuger.

Our experience at Elandela was completely above our expectations! Very receptive staff, big thanks to Mama for Giving us so much attention, and to John and Marinus for the great safaris both at the lodge and at Kruger. Our room was perfect. We got kindly upgraded on our honeymoon :) the accomodation was very beautiful and with a very nice view from the lake (and the hipos)! It was a lovely experience, hope to come back someday.

We chose the Elandela to celebrate our 25 years of marriage and could not have made a better choice! Well structured place, close to Hoedspruit airport, with transfer. We went with our 3 kids and they loved it. We stayed in the apartment for 5 people at River Lodge, very comfortable accommodation, cleanliness note 10. The managers are very polite and concerned in offering the best to guests in every detail. Friendly and helpful staff, River Lodge chef very friendly and presented delicious dishes, educated and knowledgeable guides, anyway, everything was perfect. From the Elandela we made two beautiful walks: Blyde River Canyon Nature Reserve, with a boat ride of extreme beauty and Moholoholo Wildlife Rehab Center, a hospita of animals with magnificent species, which I recommend. At the BOMA party, an outdoor barbecue with a wonderful moon, great and varied food, we had a beautiful surprise, a lot of dancing and joy, that will stay with us forever. We just have to thank the whole team of Elandela who made our trip to Africa a success with unforgettable moments !!!
