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.

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!

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.

Muito bom e da pra ficar melhor!

Recomendo muito a hospedagem no Elandela! O Safari faz tudo valer a pena! A reserva do leao branco e dos rinocerontes é o melhor de tudo! A ranger Karina e John são incríveis. Porem, apesar de ter amado o safari eu recomendo ficar em 2 reservas diferentes, foi o que fizemos e valeu muito a pena. No Elandela não tem elefantes, por isso eles oferecem uma visita ao kruger. Nós fomos lá mas nao conseguimos ver nenhum elefante la. A sorte é que tinhamos outra reserva ainda e pudemos vê-los de perto. Quanto ao hotel, nosso quarto era bem confortavel. Só tenho duas sugestões: Colocar cortina black out nos quartos e uma reposição melhor de shampoo, sabonete e etc. A comida é otima! Os jantares sao excelentes e de otima qualidade. Mas concordo com alguns reviews que li que sao poucas opcoes. Nao pouca quantidade, pois tudo é muito bem servido. Mas poucas opcoes. No jantar, por exemplo, sò tem uma opcao de peixe e carne/frango. No almoço comemos mac and cheese um dia e no outro quiche de legumes. Nao tinha opcao de escolha no almoço. Só 1 prato e paes. Tinha uma vegetariana no grupo que avisou que era vegetariana e nao tinha nada diferente pra ela. No jantar, por ex, ela nao tinha prato principal. Somente entrada, sopa e etc. outra sugestao é oferecer agua filtrada pelo menos nas refeiçoes e safaris. Está incluso 2 garrafas de agua por dia. Mas, como em outros hoteis e restaurantes, acredito que oferecer agua filtrada nas refeiçoes nao iria custar nada pro hotel.

Sehr schöne, gepflegte Anlage mit zuvorkommendem Service. Die Pirschfahrten waren interessant-besonderes Highlight waren die weißen Löwen. Wir wohnten in der River Lodge und durften leider nicht die dazugehörige Lake Lodge besuchen. Befremdlich war die gewünschte Eintragung der Tips in eine Namenliste.

Lodge im eigenen Park

Die Häuser sind zweckmäßig modern eingerichtet, sehr groß, insgesamt sehr gut und sauber, Frühstück standart, das Abendessen fand im Freien statt (Braii), mit Tanzdarbietung, auf den Safaris sieht man viele Giraffen, Rhinos, nur Löwen bekamen wir nicht zu Gesicht, leider ist der Preis sehr hoch, doch mit einer der günstigsten Lodges weit und breit und für das Gebotene (2 Safaris, Braii) etc. erscheint es angemessen (650,- für drei Personen/Nacht)

Razoavel

O quarto era confortavel,limpo porem não havia nenhuma estrutura de lazer apenas uma piscina muito pequena e sem deck. Nos ficamos no River View Lodge e não havia nada para fazer depois que voltavamos do safari. A comida era pouca e so tinha um menu com pouquissimas opções, nenhuma variedade! Os ranges sao otimos e da pra ve bastante animal apesar de nao ter elefante! Mas esperava q fosse melhor

missed $ turned over bags/sumiu $ malas reviradas

Its hard to say something good when we do have the experience of having our bags turned over inside your roon and realize that part of our money is gone. 2700zar total. We were 5 people and all of us had our bags checked when we are not there. We felt hostage of that situation: all our stuff in a place where people you cannot trust have free access. The provided safe is so small you cant put a tablet inside and you lock it with a key. When we talked to manager they just make sure to show the paper that they make you sign saying that they have nothing to do with it. We went to police and did a registration. Cool safaris, but I think It cant be classified as 4 stars because of security, average food, very simple towels and leaking bathrooms. É difícil pensar em algo bom a dizer quando você tem a experiência de ter suas malas reviradas dentro do quarto e perceber que parte do seu dinheiro sumiu, no total de 2700zar. Éramos em 5 e todos tiveram suas malas revistadas enquanto estávamos fora. Nos sentimos reféns da situacao: todas as suas coisas num local em que pessoas não confiaveis tem acesso. O cofre do quarto não cabia nem um tablet e era fechado com uma chave. Quando procuramos a gerência, fizeram questão de mostrar o contrato onde eles não se responsabilizavam por nada. Fomos a delegacia e fizemos um B.O. Safaris e lugar legais , mas acho que não podemos classificar como 4 estrelas por questões de segurança, comidas regulares, toalhas simples e banheiro com vazamentos.

Decepçao

Nao me senti segura nos safaris oferecidos pelo hotel. O guia parava o jipe muito próximos aos animais (leões e rinocerontes), desligava o veículo e ficava o celular mostrando fotos e videos para os hospedes. Se acontecesse qualquer imprevisto, não haveria tempo hábil para absolutamente nada. Saímos as 6 horas da manhã para o safari e não foi oferecido NADA de café da manha. As 9 horas, no meio da savana, tomamos um cafezinho aguado e um pao doce ruim. Almoço e jantar em pouca quantidade e foi servido frango (frio) nas duas refeições. Meu marido teve uma gastroenterite durante a hospedagem e nenhum funcionario demostrou qualquer interesse em ajudar com medicamentos ou refeição diferenciada. Lençol com manchas vermelhas, parecendo sangue. Não indicaria este hotel para amigos e familiares.
