Hotel Dengan bar di Mpumalanga, Afrika Selatan

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 😊

I spent two weeks traveling in South Africa, staying in 12 lodges/hotels. This White House Lodge impressed me the most. It felt like I'd returned home many years ago. Everything was so welcoming and pleasant. Suzanne met me at the airport. Although, due to communication issues, I wasn't sure she'd be able to meet me, and I'd have to find a taxi. It was very nice to see Suzanne upon arrival holding a sign with my name. On the way to the lodge, we saw several impalas. She organized safari in Kruger park for me both days while I was staying at the lodge. Excellent dinners, a wonderful selection of South African wine (it rivals good European wines), a lawn, a garden, a swing, and a stunning view of the valley. A very nice place and hostess. P.S. I really wanted to see a leopard and a rhino on safari – but I ended up seeing all of the Big Five.

What a spectacular place!!! Visited with my friend for a few days. It was her first time in South Africa. Experience left such a beautiful impression of our beautiful country and its people❤️❤️❤️ The place and staff were AMAZING!!! So friendly, helpful, cheerful - always a pleasure to be around. The food and drinks provided were delicious and spectacular. Our room was always clean, made up and fully stocked with drinks and snacks. The game drives were informative and spectacular - phenomenal drivers. Transportation from and to the airport was timely and fantastic! Definitely recommend staying here!!! Special thanks to Victor, Benedict, Reyneke*, Sam, Jane, Hamilton, Imagine, Marita, S’fiso, and the list goes on😁😁😁 My friends and I are already planning our next visit back!!!

Our stay at this place was amazing! The staff was very friendly, the breakfast was delicious, and we took beautiful photos with the animals and fed them! We would love to return to this place! The owner of the lodge is an amazing person! The rooms and common areas are very clean and stylish! We are so happy to be here!
