A great place to stay and base your tour of Kruger NP and the Panorama Route
We had a wonderful time. The rooms were very nice and the food was great. The staff was very polite and helpful. Our tour guides were very good especially Alec who showed us books about the animals and birds we saw. I would recommend Kruger Adventure Lodge to anyone going to Kruger NP.

Real Tent experience for LIFE !
After traveling through South Africa with 53 senior Black ladies, 2 lodges, 4 hotels for 2 weeks! (very enjoyable), I had to do my solo South African exploration. I had choose Mzansi while in NY, knowing nothing about lodge living, I just WANTED A TENT! The entire EXPERIENCE from the pick up at in hannesburg to the flight back to Johannesburg was an adventure I hope to repeat until I'm bounded! I'm so proud of my self for choosing Mzansi! Everything went smoothly! The five hour drive to Kruger's National Park gave me time to rest, reflect, catch up and purchase a authentic zebra skin from one of shops 2 stops during the ride. Most of all the ride introduced me to the vast South African Landscape. The lodge was goregously junglelfied decor from the lodge to the 24 hour pool( bring your own towel). Breakfast and dinner is included,(steak was delicious). You choose the number of nights/safaris and sleeping quarters. The tents surpassed my expectations, it was roomy, air conditioned, hot shower and bathroom had plenty of suitcase space, coffee maker and maid service. Enjoyed all of it, I decided to fly back to Johannesburg 30 min fly. airport 45 min from lodge. drive was arranged by the lodge. next trip it will be a round trip flight! NEXT TIME - THE TENT AGAIN!

Just price and good attention
The staff was very helpful and attentive, expecially Katelynn Duncan. The services were as described. We only had problems with the JSL transport company, which delayed the transfer in two tours and did not provide any information about the delays. On the way there (to Marrioth Park), we only had a 10-minute stop for lunch and on the way back (to Joburg) we only had a 10-minute stop because we asked the driver for it. We also did not have breakfast on the last day returning to Joburg. I don't know if the accommodation forgot.

Responsive and organized
We made a 4-Day Kruger National Park Big 5 & Panorama Route Safari (chaged panorama route for another Safari Day). Everything was as planned and both Zelda and Katelynn were very responsive answering all our question as we had so many! Would do it again with them.

Excellent price/quality ratio
Everything was well arranged. Excellent drivers and transport. Lodge and food not fantastic but good enough for the price of the 5-day trip.

Seamless Safari Adventure with Mzansi Experience: Big Five, Great Guides, and Perfect Planning!
The booking process was quick and easy; I got answers to all my questions in under 12 hours. Everything ran like clockwork—the airport shuttle, safari pickups, and activities were all right on time. The guides were friendly and really knew their stuff, and we were lucky enough to spot all the Big Five! The lodge room was spacious and had everything we needed. Both breakfast and dinner were delicious with lots of options. I’d definitely recommend Mzansi Experience!

Delivered on the experience and made it memorable!
The Mzansi Experience was just that...an experience to enjoy. It included a 4-Day Okavango Delta & Boteti River Tented Safari package. On Day 1, arrival, we were to embark on a 2-hour sunset Mokoro canoe safari, but dry weather conditions have the Boteti river dry. Instead, they arranged for us to visit a nearby local village and become familiar with local villagers and customs, etc. However, upon arriving at the village, gates were closed and most had gone into a nearby town. Our driver/guide (Kay) was most resourceful as he located an elder lady who was happy to talk to us. Chairs were set out in a circle on village grounds, as she began to talk, other male elders joined, as did some children who sat on the sandy ground. Great afternoon. Day 2 involved a ride on a Makoro canoe up the Okavango river, which allowed us to glide through the river, seeing hippos, elephants and more. Day 3 was a Game Drive on a 4x4 open air vehicle to Moremi/Khwai Reserve, which is in the northern fringe of Okavango Delta. Saw a multitude of animals, including lions, leopard, elephants, zebras, etc. Day 4 was relaxation and headed out. Boteti Tented chalets were comfortable, food in small restaurant was always served to us at 7pm, firepit was nearby. Staff at Boteti Tented Chalets were all very polite and accommodating. We met 2 other couples from Australia that joined us on this 3-4 Day adventure, which made the experience even more memorable.
