    Would be nice if the kitchen was a little bigger. It is only big enough for one person to be in there at a time, which isn't always ideal. Other than that, loved our stay and will be back.

    Beautiful glamping tents. Very clean and the beds are extremely comfortable. It is isolated enough from the other tents so that it feels very private which we loved. My toddler loved the interaction with the various animals, from wildebeest to bushbuck. Great location. Only about a 15 to 20 min drive from crocodile bridge. Staff very helpful and sorted any issues we had with immediate effect.

    A small snake that passed while we were relaxing outside made other people uncomfortable.

    I loved it when they brought the iron 1 minute after I asked for it. 10/10 service

    We liked our rooms which were very clean and the beds were comfortable. The Kitchen had everything we needed from air fryer to spoons. We enjoyed our very own pool with the outside shower. We had all the privacy we needed. The stuff was very friendly and professional. Not forgetting the animals that kept visiting us, we got to understand and appreciate them more.

    Fans was good, but aircon would make a difference.

    The bush atmosphere lets you relax the moment you get off the main road. You feel miles away from the hustle and bustle.

    Towel cleaning could be done more frequently. The private pools were not as clean as the main pool.

    Excellent front office service. The units are very clean. Very friendly housekeeping staff. We liked that the tents are positioned in a way that makes everyone feel like they are home away from home. The WhatsApp group is a great initiative in keeping us informed and knowing that help is always just a text away. The person responsible for it is also super friendly.🙏🏿💯

    No towel change for a 3 night stay in a hot humid climate. Sleeping in a hot tent without air-conditioning It was impossible to stay in the tent between 10 am and 9pm. This was in August..Cannot imagine how hot it will be in summer.

    Location in nature reserve. Well equipped luxury tents.

    Absolutely nothing.

    The accommodation is absolutely stunning and surprisingly spotless for a bush getaway. The tents are luxurious yet the feeling of being immersed in the Kruger culture is not lost. Waking up to the wildlife and having them surround you in such a quite confidence is exhilarating. The staff, especially Tanya, is an absolute delight. We will definitely be returning for years to come.

    For me, the towels were just a bit too soft... didn't dry nicely. That's literally all🙂

    Great service from arrival to departure. Tent was super clean and neat, as if it was built yesterday. We were treated like royalty up to the special request for a surprise at the tent. I've stayed in quite a few places in Marloth, and Jackelberry is definitely up there. Lots of animal sightings, they practically sleep next to the tent hahahahahaha. Will definitely be back. Highly recommend 👌
