My family of 6 had a wonderful experience at Phelwana! It's a beautiful property with a ton of animals where you get an up close experience. The staff is super knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. The rooms are clean and nice and we had our own pool. Food was excellent and the staff made sure we had everything we needed. Would highly recommend!

I had a fantastic time at Phelwana as a solo traveler. The game walks and drives on the premises were very interesting, and we saw lots of animals each time. The staff were friendly and attentive and the food and accommodation left nothing to be desired! If you aren't going out for a full day drive every day it's definitely worth staying in one of the tents. The view is incredible, especially early in the morning when all the animals come to drink. I would definitely stay at Phelwana again if I return to the area.

Phelwana was a great experience and I highly recommend it. The lodges are excellent - we had a 2BR unit for our family of four with a large living room and a pool outside. I was told by other guests that the luxury tents are also top notch. The staff really makes the experience, welcoming you from the start. I can’t say enough - Ngonthe, Kayla, Jeffrey, Blair, Lenah, Pelon and more - everyone was friendly and helpful. The game drives are not spectacular; I’d definitely recommend trips into Kruger and/or other private reserves. Still, we saw giraffes, hippos, buffalo and more on our drive and had a lovely stop for sundowners before returning. The game walk was also enjoyable and the kids went fishing one afternoon. Food choices were broad and the food was good though not great. Truly relaxing and enjoyable overall.

Staying at Phelwana game lodge was truly a great experience. We stayed 3 nights on a family-trip and had wonderful time! The staff was super friendly and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Large Rooms and close location to Kruger are real advantages! I can only highly recommend!
