    What a stunning oasis just off Orpen gate road. Staff that go out of their way to assist guests, quick & easy to contact, share stories, connect over tasty meal. There are plenty of 5* lodges in the area. This is authentic, friendly, and good...

    Great location for Orpen Gate at Kruger. Very peaceful location and great staff. The dinner was delicious and they went the extra mile to cater for my vegan diet.
