The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, the location is close to the national park, the spa was good and the activities you can choose from give you no time to be bored

Normally I would wait for my trip to end before typing out a review. I ask myself, why wait especially since there has been such consistency from the moment I made the booking to the time we are walked back to our Luxury Bush Chalet.The staff operate this establishment with the utmost care and attention to detail. A special thanks to Sifiso, Surprise, Precious, Rosie, Mandoza our chef, our awesome tour guide Bheki and not forgetting Innocent our mixologist for best cocktails(Giraffe in a Glass is 👌).We are humbled by your great service and hospitality.The owner is ever present to greet the guests so warmly and ensure the high standards are mantained. So glad to have found this beautiful gem of a place. A "must" to visit...Definitely won't be our last time. PS the package deals are highly recommended as it includes game drives into the KNP. Keep it up GKL Team....You guys rock!!!

Staff here were amazing, always very helpful and super friendly with incredible service. The food is great too! We were never left hungry during our stay. It was very quiet and relaxing. A great location with lots of options for activities. We happened to leave something very valuable in our room, and staff were amazing at helping us organise a courier service to get it back!

Great service from the hotel throughout our time there. The hotel is quiet and relaxing, just what was needed for a weekend away and when you get back from safari.

Our recent 5-day stay at the Grand Kruger Lodge was nothing short of spectacular! Nestled in the heart of Marloth Park, this oasis offers the perfect blend of luxury and nature, providing an immersive safari experience that I will treasure forever.

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality that made us feel right at home. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and memorable, attending to every detail with great care and professionalism.

The lodge itself is beautifully designed, blending seamlessly with its surroundings. Our accommodations were spacious, immaculately clean, and beautifully decorated, offering stunning views of the natural landscape that surrounds the lodge. Waking up to the sounds of wildlife just outside our window was a daily delight.

The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the safari adventures. Each day brought new and exciting encounters with Africa's majestic wildlife, expertly guided by knowledgeable rangers who shared fascinating insights into the lives of the animals we observed. The thrill of seeing lions, elephants, giraffes, and many more in their natural habitat was an experience I will never forget.

The dining experience at the lodge was equally impressive. The chefs served a variety of exquisite dishes, each beautifully presented and bursting with flavors that reflect the local cuisine. Dining under the stars, surrounded by the serene sounds of the African bush, added a magical touch to our evenings.

Overall, the Grand Kruger Lodge offers an unparalleled safari experience that combines luxury, adventure, and the breathtaking beauty of South Africa's wildlife. It's a must-visit destination for anyone looking to immerse themselves in the wonders of the African wilderness. I left with memories that will last a lifetime and a deep appreciation for the natural world. I can't recommend this place highly enough!

Fantastic Memories

The staff were fantastic. I can't write enough praise for Surprise, Rose, the chefs, cleaners and other staff. Their service was 5 star. We had some very particular vegetarians in our group and they catered to our every need and made our stay absolutely special and memorable.

Jayantkumar

We felt very comfortable here, the Grand Kruger Lodge is very stylish. The team was very friendly and the buffet in the evening was excellent. The room was very tidy, in the evening the pillow was even fluffed up again.
The safari we booked with Dennis was fun, we were able to see a lot of animals.
It's nice that we were able to be here, thanks to Uwe and the team. It was nice meeting you.
Many greetings Madeleine & Stefan

Madeleine & Stefan

We can absolutely and unreservedly recommend the Grand Kruger Lodge!
We were there as a family of 4 and had a wonderful time. You immediately feel at home and welcome. The staff is incredibly friendly and takes great care of you. Children are also very welcome here. The atmosphere on site is great.

We had a chalet for 4 people - the chalet is super spacious, very clean and well equipped. The pool is great for relaxing after the safari and the food is great. Thanks again to the great chefs!
In the evening you can sit on the beautiful terrace or around a fire for a sundowner.

The location of the lodge is perfect for safari day trips into the Kruger National Park - these can easily be booked through the lodge or done on your own. The lodge itself is located in its own reserve, which is home to many animals - we encountered the first giraffes shortly before reaching the lodge. Kudus, monkeys and warthogs come and go on the lodge grounds.

A big thank you again to our great and super professional safari guide Becky, who spent an unforgettable day with us in Kruger and from whom we learnt a lot about the Natiponal Park, the animals and life in this part of South Africa in general. Great guy!

All in all, full marks for this great lodge with its world-class staff! We would really really love to come back!

Caroline Ehrenberg

We have come here since 2014 and keep on coming back. Uwe has done so many positive improvements over the years and the Staff is very helpful as always.
Nothing is to much for them!
The roads are not perfect for the place, but he you are in the Bush, what do you expect.
We absolutely love the location and will be back.
The place is spotelessly clean!
As a bush Camp this place deserves a 5 Star rating .

Very nice place in the middle of Marloth Park. It was a great location for Safari Trips in Kruger National Park. The staff was very friendly and food was delicious. Our highlight was the Kudus and Giraffe of Marloth Park, which occasionally came in the garden of the lodge.

From the moment we arrived, the staff at Grand Kruger Lodge and Spa were warm and welcoming. They engaged with us and were helpful in all aspects of our stay - from effortlessly rearranging spa appointments and excursions to providing extra coffee on early mornings. Dennis was a tremendous guide and made sure we saw the 'big cats'! Rosie, Sifiso, Surprise and many others made our stay feel like home and it was an experience I will never forget.

We enjoyed our stay at the lodge on a stay package. Highly recommend the all inclusive package with game drives into the Kruger park. The lodge also has game roaming around which gives it a warm African experience. The staff was very kind and responsive, they added a bit of fun singing to my husband on his birthday. The spa treatments were also very relaxing and convenient.

Wonderful experience. We Stayed a few days early january and could Not ask for a better experience. The Hôtel is very Nice, clean, spacious. The Restaurant was very Tasty, we wanted to try Game Meat and they organized this for US. The Tours Organized By the Hôtel were wonderful, as well as the ones they arranged with the park. The best part was the staff itself. Everyone was super Attentive and helpful. They Go out of their way to help in any way they can!

Maria de vega

Excellent. Must return there

All the staff was very kind. The cleanliness of the lodge is excellent. Good breakfast and good variety of dining options. I enjoyed the buffet dinner on the first day. Our whole group appreciated the attitude of the manager in keeping the generator on during the evening cut-off period. It was very hot and we asked her not to turn off the generator as it had been the night before

Perfect place to spend holidays

Excellent place to spend holidays! I stayed in a luxury double suite with a balcony; spacious room, all beautiful and functional, including a very big terrace. We booked three different safaris with Grand Kruger Lodge and Spa and enjoyed all of them to the maximum. The staff is amazing, great service and very helpful! Around the lodge there are wild animals; zebras, warthogs, kudus... I cannot imagine a better place for holidays!

Best stay in Marloth Park

Everything is done to ensure that you have the best stay: it is comfortable, has a relaxing vibe, the facilities are all amazing… we had a lot of wild visitors during our trip, which added to the great experience. But most of all, the staff is the friendliest and most accommodating we have encountered anywhere. And the food was great and served in generous portions.

Perfect for couples with children.

Our experience was 100% positive. We even fed some Kudus! On the park we saw Zebras, gazelas, “pumbas” and Kudus. Super recommended!!

CIPC Morgado

A luxury haven in Marloth Park

What a special gem this place is! With the most welcoming and accommodating staff, they brighten up the entire stay. The facilities are lovely, clean and comfortable rooms, although can be small. Lovely outdoor dining area with fire pit. The food is remarkable, simple but fresh and perfectly prepared, the best food we had in Marloth park having tried 6 other restaurants there during our stay!
The activities are well organised and highly recommended, our guide William went out of his way to ensure everything was as best as it could be, he was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to talk to.
We look forward to returning here for definite in two future.

Ausgezeichnet, unglaublich toll, Erinnerungen fürs Leben

Our family vacation in September with a child (5j) and grandparents was a great experience. The 'Grand Kruger Lodge and SPA' is highly recommended. We really enjoyed our 2 weeks there as a family of 5. The staff was always courteous and extremely friendly. The rooms and our bush camp as well as the whole area were very clean and modern. Especially impressive for us and especially for our daughter were the many animals that came by the pool every day. After all, it's not every day you feed zebras, kudos, busbugs or pumbas at the pool. The excursions offered to us and taken part in were all very well organized. In the SPA area you could let yourself be pampered.
Thanks to the Grand Kruger Lodge and SPA team, you made this trip unforgettable!
We will definitely come again, thank you

A great lodge that offers a perfect base outside of the KNP to allow you to be able to do day visits to the KNP. Last year we stayed in the Park and the accommodation and services offered at this Lodge far exceeds what is offered within the KNP. Accommodation is perfect and beds comfortable. What takes our rating of the lodge from Good to Outstanding is the staff. They made our stay extra special and offered 5 star service which included lovely breakfasts and beautiful and delicious dinners on the deck with Kudu and warthogs as company.

Vanessa

Great boutique lodge!

The hotel is in a lovely quiet setting in Marlouth park where Kudu and Nyala are wandering even onto the property.
There is a main lodge with 2nd floor comfortable rooms as well as several
family sized bungalows. But it was the staff who really made my experience memorable! Service was warm & personal.They engaged the guests, encouraging us to chat by the firepit before and dinner. The chef was excellent and had a fantastic game drive in Kruger next door. My post drive massage was top rate!

Rachel

A Kruger oasis with friendly, welcoming staff

A most comfortable stay at this lovely establishment on the outskirts of the Kruger Park.

From the moment you enter, you are struck by the friendliness of the staff who are consistently professional, courteous and obliging.

Breakfast and dinner were included and both were good (especially the former).
The spa is also worth visiting and the massage was very good.

Ideally ask for a room with a balcony though the air-conditioning worked well as did the wifi.

A comfortable stay made better by the lovely staff.

Sudeshan

Pretoria, South Africa

Incredibly friendly and helpful staff who always greeted us with a smile. The staff created a great atmosphere surrounding the guests (e.g. sang a wholeheartedly birthday song for a guest at one at the other tables). Furthermore, the lodge offers a wide variety of activities and their safari driver William gave us a fantastic game drive in the Kruger park. The porch and pool area are often visited by different animals (we saw warthogs, kudus and impalas), which contributes to a great atmosphere.

Lage:
Die Grand Kruger Lodge liegt im Merloth Park, südlich vom Kruger Nationalpark (Gate Crocodil Bridge). Den Merloth Park und den Kruger Nationalpark trennt lediglich der Crocodil River. So kannst du auch direkt im Merloth Park eine erste Safari erleben. Bei uns war es eine Twilight Safari entlang dem Crocodil River inkl. Picknick während des Sonnenuntergangs.

Anlage:
Die Grand Kruger Lodge überzeugt mit ihrer ganzen Atmosphäre. Von tollen Busch-Lodges, über ein schönes Restaurant mit großer Außenterrasse inkl. tierischen Besuchen, Grill- und Feuerplatz, bis hin zum Pool mit sonnigen Liegeplätzen.

Service:
Sobald du als Gast eintriffst bist du ein Teil einer großen Familie. Ganz nach dem Motto: You get what you give.
Das Personal liest dir jeden Wunsch von den Lippen ab und steht dir jeder Zeit mit Rat und Tat zu Seite. Selbst auf deiner weiteren Reise. Zum Personal gehört auch ein absolut top ausgebildeter Safari Ranger - William. Wir hatten das Vergnügen drei Touren mit ihm zu erleben und waren absolut begeistert.
Da der Inhaber Uwe ursprünglich aus Deutschland kommt, konnten wir sogar auf Deutsch kommunizieren :)
Ohne wenn und aber bekommt das Personal 10 von 10 Punkte.

Preis Leistung:
Wir haben uns lange nach einem passenden Rundum-Paket umgesehen. Zu diesem Paket gehörten eine Lodge mitten in der Tierwelt, ein Pool zum Entspannen, ein Restaurant inkl. Bar und eine geführte Safari mit offenen Safari Fahrzeugen. Da die Lodge nicht im, aber unmittelbar am Kruger Nationalpark liegt (max. 15 Minuten Autofahrt), ist der Preis unschlagbar im Vergleich zu anderen Angeboten die wir uns eingeholt hatten.

Essen:
Die Lodge bietet eine große Auswahl, sowohl an afrikanischen als auch an internationalen Gerichten.
Unser Highlight war der typisch afrikanische Braai und das gemeinsame zusammen sitzen aller Gäste am offenen Feuer.

Fazit:
Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen und es all unseren Freunden weiterempfehlen.

Magical and Five Star Treatment

We had an amazing four Night Family Stay at the Lodge. From arrival we were treated like VIP's. The staff are beyond amazing, friendly, helpful and very entertaining. Not once did we have a dull moment. Food was excellent and they make sure they cater to every one's desire. Were spoiled with some snacks at the pool. They make sure you don't dehydrate by supplying bottled water in ample. There's a packed cooler when you go on a Safari or just a local Twilight Safari in Marloth Park. Amenities are excellent and cleaned daily. The local park Ranger are very well educated and informative with the wild and surroundings. The ladies at the Spa definitely know how to get rid of the knots and stress. We highly recommend Grand Kruger Lodge and Spa and will return for another relaxing stay.

We rarely recognized such warm an welcoming hospitality by the whole service personal. The lodge is in the center of Marloth Park. The accommodation doesn’t miss any comfort including cleaning service several times a day. Additionally you recognize that local craftsmanship creates a real South African attitude, including zebras, kudus, impalas and monkeys right next to you during dinner and breakfast. William, the safari guide is a seasoned expert with an excellent view for the animals behavior and always taking care of their well-being. The kitchen provides a broad selection of dishes with a lot of creativity to implement your individual preferences. I can highly recommend to order the soups. We’re looking forward to come back!

Amazing experience. Good accomodation and the staff are extemely receptive and attentive to our needs. Really super impressed and would highly recommend the lodge. It is more suited for couples but kids can enjoy the pool too!

The Kruger lodge itself is highly recommended. They go out of their way to take care of their guests.
The staff were very attentive to all our needs. I was very impressed with how they took care of us which was a big bonus. The food was absolutely amazing - lamb potjie was to die for. The dinner setting is fantastic with the option to sit around the fire for a pre-or after dinner drink. The property is well positioned in Marloth park and we could do early morning walks to the fence to see Crocodile river.

Awesome stay at Grand Kruger Lodge.
Highly recommended. We recieved a warm welcome. Service and meals throughout exceeded our expectations. The staff is great....Rosie deserves a special mention. We loved her friendly smile and humour. The surroundings is peaceful and we could chill and rest. Lots of things to do as well..like game drives and other. Nothing is too much for the staff to assist with. We will be back!

The staff members at the lodge were very friendly and we really felt at home. But the award for me and my family goes to Surprise, Innocent and Becky. From the time we were doing a booking, from the time we left johannesburg and when we arrived Surprise was exceptional in ensuring that all we wanted and our travel to the lodge was superb. From sending us pin locations, to ensuring our safaris are booked and confirmed to assisting us with our luggage on arrival. Then Innocent made sure that our table is always set and provided various options for my son as he is vegetarian, to our drinks and everything when it comes to dining - he was a star. Then Becky our guide, our driver and photographer when we went on our activities. Opening the car doors for us, ensuring our items are always safe when we are busy with our activities, taking pictures of us a a family before and after the activities. Going out of his way to ensure that all is great.
The highlight of my stay was when the lodge and the staff did a birthday surprise for my 3 kids, deco, cake and even singing for them. This was exceptional and this was not charged at all, this was done free of charge. Wow

The staff was amazing, loved everyone and they were so friendly and helpful. There’s so much I can say but it will be forever. Keep up the good work.

I can honestly say this was one of the best holidays we have had in a long time. the personal service given by the staff was really 120% they take note of the dislikes and cater were they can. They become family away from family from getting up early for the game drives to the personal attention given when they did turn downs on our room. I will recommend this to everyone i know and cant believe how amazing the service was 10 Stars if i can

Mariola

Great lodge to stay for a family holiday near the Kruger park.
My family of four including two kids 17 and 13 years stayed 4 nights at Grand Kruger Lodge. The amenities, food and service was excellent. The team of Surprise, Innocent and Phillip took great care of us on our birthdays during the stay.

We stayed in the 4 person Quad chalet which was clean and spacious. Choice of meals was great (we had daily breakfast and dinner). The spa which is expected to be expanded soon was excellent.

Wildlife at Marloth park is prolific. We took both a afternoon guided tour and whole day self drive into Kruger park through the Crocodile bridge gate. Saw lions, cheetahs, wild dogs and lots of elephants and buffalos.

Can definitely recommend Grand Kruger lodge for family bush breaks near the Kruger park.

First-class service!
The service is exceptional. Surprise and Innocent are wonderful staff. They will go above and beyond for you. ALL of the food was excellent. Chef Prince is amazing. His lamb chops, butternut soup and cheesecake was especially mind-blowing. The bed is very comfortable. The Twilight safari and full-day game drive in Kruger was very enjoyable. The place is easy to find.

Our stay was absolutely fantastic! The rooms were clean and spacious with a massive bed and an aircon which is very needed in the scorching heat. Dinner and breakfast each day was so yummy - there were plenty options each day and we were permanently full. The staff, Innocent and Surprise in particular, were spectacular - they were friendly and accommodating. The owner was also absolutely lovey - he checked in on us to ensure that we were happy and was very kind. They allowed us to check out very late on our departure day which was special as it allowed us a bit more time in the park and a dip in the pool before departure. We really enjoyed our stay and can't wait to return!

During the recent school holiday we stayed at Crocodile Bridge camp Kruger Park and because there is no resraurant they allow residents to exit the park with a permit should you wyish to go eat at a restaurant. I called a few lodges close to the gate to book a table for 4 of us, and I was shocked to hear they only allow onsite residents no one from outside, even if they are not fully booked to eat at their restaurant. It was 3 x 5 star lodges.....😠😠. Any way there loss, but the Grand Kruger Lodge had a table for us. And I must say they will see us again. What a stunning establishment the staff ,Innocent , Surprise Samantha and Alli was so professional and helpful. The ambiance and homely feel with bush and 5 star experience is a must see! They offer a set menu, A la carte and buffet depending on how many visitors they have. We enjoyed a 4 course set menu and it was out of this world and well priced. See you soon when we visit Marloth Park!

The Grand Kruger Lodge is peaceful, immersed in nature and offers a treat for all the senses (from wildlife; nice architecture; water features to harmonize with the crying insects; restaurant).The friendly and attentive staff afforded us a very pleasant vacation.Enjoyed the variety of the restaurant: from new scrumptious dishes to the table decor adapting to compliment those dishes. One evening, each waiter dressed in her/his traditional attire. This, among other fine details, made each visit to the restaurant a unique experience.After dinner, expect to find your room/chalet prepared and ready for you to sleep. Prep' includes drawing the curtains and adjusting the room temperature/aircon. All thanks to the second daily housekeeping.Besides reasonably catering for our individual requests, the Grand Kruger Lodge also took initiative to further personalize our stay in such nuanced and unique ways. For example, on the morning of our game drive at 5am, the music playing in the restaurant was that of a musician from our home country.

The breakfast was superb and we had supper there, the meals were out of this world. compliments to the chefs and all staff. We were well taken care of and we were even upgraded to better room free of charge. Anyone looking for break out of the city, I will advise them to try Grand Kruger. It is not far from the Kruger fence and if you want tp get some exercise you can walk around around and meet our beautiful animals like the wilderbeests, springboks, warthogs, and many other species of buks that are just roaming around grazing. To all the staff at Grand Kruger, thank you, we really felt at home and our expectations were exceeded!!!!
