UNA NOCHE MARAVILLOSA ENTRE ANIMALES.
Únicamente, me hospede una noche y sinceramente la habitación y todo es una pasada, se trata de un hotel que te hace recordar las películas típicas de África.
Es una pasada, lastima de sólo haberme hospedado una noche, lo único malo que tiene es que si llegas después de las 18:00 horas tienes que llamar a un teléfono para que te abran la puerta, el problema es como en mi caso que sino tienes teléfono, pues tienes que buscar alguien que te ayude, por lo demás muy bonito.

Most horrible accomodation experience we ever had. There were small worms on the bed, between the linen and even under our pillows. There were bats in the grass roof and the whole unit smelled bad even the towels due to bat urine. Bed side lamps didn't work. Sofa was dirty and full of stains. Linen had stains on them and was torn. Cockroach ran over my son while sleeping. We packed up right there at 20:00 and left disgusted en dissapionted. Photos on website doesn't compare to the real thing this is frauding people.

We love how the retreat was along the river and right next to crocodile bridge gate. Our cabin was elevated to view wildlife along river

The lodge is ideally located, not far from Komatipoort, its shops and restaurants. next to the Kruger Park's entrance and along the Crocodile River. Its chalets are spread along the river where all animals come and go. We saw and heard many of them and witnessed fantastic sunsets from our terrace. We stayed in the unit called Imvubu, which was perfectly furnished, neat and comfortable. It offered an additional bed and lounge on the terrace that enabled us to experience the Kruger nightlife from a protected shelter. The staff was very helpful. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this unique retreat!

This was the low point of our visit to South Africa - fortunately we only booked for one night. The whole place needs a huge amount of TLC. We stayed in Unit 4 (bizarrely described as a 'honeymoon unit') - it was dark and dingey inside and couldn't have been further away from any description as a romantic location. Badly stained rug and we found blood stains on the bedding. A fitted bedside lamp didn't work, even after we swapped bulbs and a standard lamp had been placed nearby - sadly, the plug for this lamp didn't fit any of the sockets. The outside tabke area was covered in rat/bat droppings, with a pervasive smell which meant eating outside wasn't possible, and the much vaunted river view was blocked by trees. WiFi was only available at reception, about 75m away. There are better places to stay...

I recently stayed at Elephant Walk Retreat (12/2 - 12/12/22) and thoroughly enjoyed this well-kept, comfortable, excellently-located lodge (with separate private and/or adjoining chalets) while engaging in an intense 10-day 12-hour-a-day Kruger N.P. safari. Aptly named, you can watch elephants and other African wildlife from your balcony, walking by or stopping in the river for a drink. Not to slight any of this wonderful retreat's hospitality staff but Elephant Walk Retreat's best kept secret is "Tony," its on-site property & lodge manager/director. He saw to all my lodging and meal needs, and ensured my comfort on a daily basis, personally checking in with me all 10 days to guarantee all was going well. He even personally went to local grocery stores for items I needed but which I had no time to procure. What a fantastic lodge manager! Elephant Walk Retreat is 100% Tony .. and Tony 100% personifies the graciousness of this excellent choice when lodging near Kruger National Park!

I stayed here a few years ago, and it was a relief to arrive after the trauma of Ressano Garcia border crossing. This time we travelled from JoBerg, the last few miles along the N4 in the dark, with sidetipper trucks all over the place & people waling in the road was the hardest bit of driving on our whole holiday. Unfortunately the unit we had booked was in need of a lot of maintenance. Lots of lights didn't work, there were no outside lights, the cooking shed a few yards away had bare high voltage wires poking out the walls and a broken gas cooker. On the plus side, a fabulos place to wake up at dawn & see our first views of the Kruger park.
