Hotels With spa in Mpumalanga, South Africa

It’s our honeymoon, and we’re glad we chose South Africa as our honeymoon destination! Spent 4 nights at Grand Kruger Lodge and booked 2 game drives, a sunrise bush walk and sunset drive via the lodge. The lodge staff were good representatives of South African hospitality; we were well taken care of since day 1 - from decorating our room to welcome us for our honeymoon, the delicious and homely dinner spread (we looked forward to checking out the handwritten menu on the blackboard daily!), the friendly chats to find out if we enjoyed our Kruger National Park experience, leaving us chocolates on our bed after dinner etc. Returning to the lodge after our day felt like returning home to meet close friends whom we knew by name. Special shoutout to Innocent (yes that’s a staff’s name) who even gave us a ride back to the lodge when he saw us walking on the dirt path back after visiting Marloth viewpoint! The game drives were conducted by the lodge safari guides, while the bush walk and sunset drive were conducted by SAN Parks rangers. We got Tamba as our game drive guide and learnt loads from him! From learning how to identify male/female animals via their distinctive features, to looking out for telltale signs such as animal poop and footprints to determine if the animals were nearby, the drives were like a live Nat Geo experience! Definitely miss this place and everyone we met at Kruger/Marloth. Thank you for the lovely memories 😊

This has to be one of the nicest hotel in the safari. We stayed at the newly built 2 bedrooms plunge pool villa, it is spectacular! Everything is perfect, from the interior design, panorama view, pool, amenities, beds, service and everything is amazing! Our safari guide is the best, he is great with children and also very knowledgeable on everything in the reserve from animals, birds, trees, insects and roads, on and off roads. The kitchen staffs offers us delicious meals everyday, everything is perfect!

“We had a truly wonderful stay at Simbavati Waterside. The hospitality and attention to detail made our experience unforgettable. Special thanks to our guide Sheddy for his deep knowledge and enthusiasm, our tracker Allan for his sharp eyes and calm professionalism, and our butler Richmond for his warm service and thoughtful care throughout the stay. Every part of the experience — from the game drives to the meals — was exceptional. We hope to return one day!”

It is a huge complex with full scale Casino and relevant audience on first floor. Nearby there is a biggest chemical plant with flaming tubes and industrial landscape The breakfast was testy and very acceptable all facilities in room were on highest level

The rooms and environment are beautiful and clean. The environment is quiet and just what we wanted. The only thing I would say is maybe the curtains can be darker and the glass on the doors can be covered…the room is very light at night.

The resort is huge. The rooms are big and beautiful. The best thing about the resort is that they have a lot of amenities on site. Great place for families and friends. The location is also close to a mall and the Kruger National Park

The hotel is good, but our room was on the first floor with not the best view. There were problems with the administration due to the fact that they forgot to pick us up at the reception for a full-day safari ((we stood at the reception for two hours and lost the opportunity to see the morning promenade of animals

Отдыхали вдвоём с женой. Лодж очень удачно расположен прям на Крокодил ривер, до въезда в парк Крюгер (Малелане) 15 минут на авто, пешком до центра городка 20 минут. Животные подходят очень близко, не выходя из отеля видели слонов, бегемотов, крокодилов и антилоп. Сам лодж неплохой, но требуется ремонт, очень всё «уставшее» но всё работает, завтрак достаточно неплохой, потом работает ресторан с 11 утра и до 8 вечера. Есть небольшой бассейн, который очень спасает в жару. Персонал приветливый, девочка на ресепшн нам во многом помогла. Вобщем всё хорошо!

Safe hotel, more like you stay in the village. The room has kitchen and pool not to far from the MALELANE gate.

The hotel is nice itself with a lot of kitchen stuff to make your food and even with a braii (BBQ facility) in place. The surrounding is lovely with a small pool next to luxury rooms. The Marlothi park is another game reserve near Kruger and we even found some animals at night on the street to hotel.
