The rooms at Phelwana Game Lodge are absolutely cozy and comfortable. The premium bedding made me feel like I was sleeping on a cloud, and the laptop-friendly workspace allowed me to catch up on some work during my stay. The free WiFi was a great bonus too!

Personally, I wasn't a big fan of the round-shaped chalets. It's just my subjective opinion, but I preferred a more traditional room setup.

Lovely lodge with private pool, helpful and informative staff, excellent food, great wildlife, beautiful setting.

Felt lucky, no complaints at all.

Phelwana Lodge, located just 47 km away from Kruger Park's Orpen Gate, was an amazing place for our family vacation. The kids had a blast with the outdoor adventures like ziplining and mountain climbing. The lodge, situated in Hoedspruit in the Limpopo Region, provided us with the perfect mix of guided ecotours and fishing at the Phelwana Dam. Plus, being surrounded by the beauty of the Hoedspruit area made our stay truly unforgettable.

For dads, it would be great if there were more activities specifically catered to younger children.
