“Dissapointing”

Reviewed 10 March 2013

Room/Chalet was clean but this lodge is definitaly not more than a 3*. Food was inclusive in our price and of poor standard- either raw or under cooked. No service at the bar in the evening. Beautiful setting but little wildlife and game vechiles to small to accommodate all guests. Will not go again.

“Ditholo Lodge, what a wonderful surprise”

Reviewed 24 October 2012

After over loaded and busy year, we finally decided to get away from our busy city lives. We usually saved up all year to go to the Kruger Park and other more famous destinations; however most of those lodges are well beyond the average South Africans’ means…. Upon arrival at Ditholo, we were welcomed personally by the general manager, who... More

Yolande and GP were fabulous, both them and their team made me very welcome and comfortable during my stay. Even as a solo visitor I felt as though I was with friends.
