La Kruger Lifestyle Lodge - No Loadshedding

We had the perfect stay with the option to book safaris. The staff was friendly and the food was amazing. Also greetings to the bush baby who was visiting us every evening.

We had a fantastic time at La Kruger! The staff was amazing, helped us to book tours, the room was great, food delicious! From there it is close to Kruger so this makes it a perfect base camp for safari and a very nice place to relax and charge your batteries afterwards. A big thanks and recommendation from us!

This is a lengthy one - grab a coffee! We booked our trip to this lovely lodge via Voyage Prive, we stayed 7 nights. It was Full Board which included soft drinks and a stay in a luxury chalet with open vehicle safari drives included. The lodge is situated about 20 minutes from Kruger in a beautiful area called Marloth park. We had the most amazing time, my husband celebrated his 50th birthday while here and the staff certainly pulled out all the stops to make it very special. Our chalet was bush willow, very private and in good conditions as per the online images. I found all the staff extremely friendly and helpful and they work extremely hard. I particularly want to point out Given who was like a friend to us. The food was of good quality breakfast had lots of options from continental to many hot a la carte options. This was especially enjoyable after a sunrise safari! Lunch was a selection of sandwiches/ burgers and salads! The chips are some of the nicest I’ve ever had- recommend trying them. Dinner was 3 courses the menu was displayed outside daily. I enjoyed the dinners I would say I would have preferred to have a choice but each day there was a meat, vegetables and potatoes, couscous or rice. I would have liked to have perhaps pasta or a casserole but I think the food was typical of the region. Nice choice of wine options to purchase. We were busy each day with safaris and day trips and all were expertly organised by Jacques and the team. Jacques is a real asset to the place and kept us up to date at all times and check in on us regularly. The area around the lodge is lovely. Lots of animals roaming freely and monkeys playing in the trees. This was a real delight. There is a pool and sun loungers to use. We didn’t use the pool as it was too cold when we were there but I think it would be very refreshing in the hot summer. We really enjoyed evenings sitting outside by the fire with a blanket and glass of wine. It was magical. This is was a trip of a lifetime for us and La Kruger made it extra special. For anyone thinking of visiting in June. There was plenty of sunshine midday to early afternoon. But once the sun was gone it was very cold. It was absolutely freezing in Kruger national park at sunrise. Wrap up very well. Thank you Jacques and team for everything. If we are visiting Kruger again we will stay again.

We scheduled a transfer service from Johannesburg airport for 4 hours to Nelspruit then another 2 hours from Nelspruit to La Kruger. We wanted to experience the countryside along the transfer. Be warned, it’s just roads and fields not towns and cities, so the drive was rather boring. Upon arrival, the lodge was very quaint. The rooms were decently sized but nicely decorated. Impala’s could be seen on the premises, and they funnily referred to as “McDonald’s “ as there are so many of them in and around Kruger. Breakfast and dinner were included in our stay. Breakfast was made to order eggs, bacon, sausages, hash browns and toast. They also had a cold breakfast station available. The dinner menu was a set 3 course meal which changed daily and quite delicious. During dinner, the music played is big band style such as Moonlight Sonata, and such. It was like the scenes in the Golden Girls when they went dancing. It makes for a quiet atmosphere and rather stuffy formal dinner setting. My one suggestion, to change up the music every now and then to create a more mingling feel while dining. The lodge was about a 25 minute drive to Kruger National Park which was very fine with us. We did enjoy the stay. When not on safari, it was very relaxing and I would consider staying again. Special shout out to Given, Laura and Sabelo for always having a smile on their faces and taking interest in our day’s activities and being above and beyond accommodating. They especially made our time at La Kruger Lodge very enjoyable.
