We stayed here at the end of our 2 week tour through South Africa and I could not imagine a better way to end our vacation. The staff was the friendliest we encountered in a country full of friendly people. It's a very short, very easy drive from the Crocodile Bridge gate and a longer, but more interesting drive from...

we were lodged in a private lodge with a quaint name ,Shishangeni , within the game reserve , near the crocodile bridge.The overall decor is reminiscent of the British colonial style hunting lodges. There are about 22 cottages with their own passages leading to them. Almost all are similar, of the suite type with a large bedroom with a huge... More

The safe in our room was opened by someone from the hotel staff using the hotel's master key, and in excess of $1000 was stolen from the safe. Obviously we complained to the hotel management, but nothing was done in response to our complaint and we have heard nothing at all from the property owners in regards to the theft.... More

Very comfortable room, not meant for 3 but it worked out fine. Taking a hot shower outside under a fantastic stary African sky is fantastic! And getting up at 5 isn't easy but the drives are great. Did indeed see the Big 5 in a two day stay. Food is very good, but one should get to the meals early... More

I did not travel to the Shishangeni Lodge, but my mom did for her 75th birthday and the time she had was AMAZING! Thanks for making it special and coordinating easily my request for a choclate birthday cake (which she;s still raving about with "hard" candy cover and the delicious sparkling wine which she said was local and adored. Staff... More

We loved seeing lion,rhino,leopard,- all the game, our gameranger was extremely knowledgeable! however the decor and management leave one hoping that someone steps in a rescues what could be an totally amazing lodge. On arrival, we carried our own bags to number 21- the furtherest room. The decor is stuck in the 1970s and requires an update. The staff are... More

Shishangeni is busy going through changes and for the better. Rooms are been revamped and even management has changed. With great game drives you can nearly be sure to see the Big 5. Also the Restaurant has a new Head Chef and the food has improved to a Sumptious Meal, you would not think you are in a Lodge miles... More

This markets itself as a luxury private lodge in Kruger Park. While the game viewing was good, the place was run as a three star hotel. Most staff seemed very new and struggled both with language and concept of service. Our entourage was allocated two game vehicles (Finally after some confusion). While one vehicle had a knowledgeable guide, the other... More

This was my second time at Shishangeni Lodge within the last 18 months, and I enjoyed it both times. Our group decided to leave Maputo (Mozambique) for a weekend to do this two-hour drive across the border to Kruger NP. Shishangeni's major advantage to us was its proximity to Crocodile Gate, which is right after the border. Already when we... More
