We had a great stay at Kololo game reserve. We visited Kololo with our 3 kids (4, 2 and 0 y/o) and the manager Tanya and the staff did everything to make our stay as great as possible. The accomodation was clean and big including a kitchen and living room. We did 2 game drives and Kololo arranged a babysitter for our baby so we could do the game drive as relaxed as possible with the 2 other kids. During the game drive we saw lions, zebras, rhinos, elephants and hippo’s and if you are doing a game drive with small kids they can adjust the safari (departure time / appropriate distance if you spot animals) to create the best experience for your family. Also the food and service is great. The loved the staff and the kids menu. They even have a big basket with toys in the restaurant and one of the staff even walked around with the baby so I could finish my coffee during breakfast. Also the pool and playground are fantastic. Very family friendly and a must do if you are visiting South Africa with kids!

Me, my dad, and my brother went here 4 years ago, and I still think about it all the time! This was my first time visiting Africa, and Kololo made it memorable! I loved the view from our room, the food, and the bicycle tracks that take you around the fenced accommodation area of the reserve! We had an incident where a bat came into our room through the roof, but we had a good laugh about it! I feel awful for not remembering their names, but the guides who took us out on safaris were super knowledgeable and respectful to the animals on the reserve! If I ever have the chance, I'll be coming back!

Perfect place with incredible staff and best ranger (Jo). We went for walk game tour in the private reserve where we saw plenty (by ourselves) and with Jo in the big 5 reserve for a 3 hours walk! Unique experience. The lodge is amazing, very nature respectful, very comfortable without being pretentious. Super flexible with breakfast hours and so on. Food is also delicious with a home made taste and good products.

The most welcoming and extroardinary experience. We loved our stay in Kololo with the kindest staff and most adventurous ranger Joe! Saw so many animals on the big 5 tour as well as in the hotel reserve. Being able to walk around by foot in this reserve was surreal! Couldn’t recommend a better reserve to experience the beauty of Africa!
