Perfekter Ausgangspunkt für den Kruger National Park
Pros:

Das Bushveld Terrace Hotel war für uns der perfekte Ausgangspunkt für unseren Besuch im Kruger National Park. Die Lage ist wirklich kaum zu übertreffen: Das Hotel liegt direkt am Phalaborwa Gate, sodass man den Park bequem und ohne lange Anfahrt erreichen kann. Gerade für einen frühen Start zum Game Drive ist das ein großer Vorteil.

Unser Zimmer war sehr schön, modern und komfortabel eingerichtet und bot alles, was wir für einen entspannten Aufenthalt benötigt haben. Die gesamte Anlage macht einen sehr gepflegten und einladenden Eindruck.

Ein besonderes Highlight war für uns das Essen. Sowohl die Qualität der Speisen als auch die Zubereitung haben uns positiv überrascht – definitiv eines der besseren kulinarischen Erlebnisse auf unserer Reise. Nach einem langen Tag im Kruger war es wunderbar, direkt im Hotel hervorragend essen zu können.

Die Kombination aus komfortablen Zimmern, sehr gutem Essen und vor allem der außergewöhnlichen Lage macht das Bushveld Terrace zu einer hervorragenden Wahl für alle, die den Kruger National Park erkunden möchten.

Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen und können das Hotel uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

Cons:

Absolut nichts

A un passo dal Kruger
Pros:

Vicinissimo al Gate Phalaborwa Kruger. Struttura curata e pulita. Ristorante top, colazione alla carta.

Cons:

Non c’è un ascensore, se al piano superiore con i bagagli è un po faticoso.

Pros:

The staff was friendly and the facility itself is beautiful. We real loved the place.

Cons:

The wait for our dinner. It took very long to arrive. It was the first time we experience the wait, if they can work on it. Other than that the stay was enjoyable.

An Exceptional Stay with Outstanding Service – We Will Definitely Be Back!
Pros:

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Bushveld Terrace Safari Hotel and cannot recommend it highly enough!

From the moment we started making our booking, the service was exceptional. We arranged a few special extras to celebrate my husband’s and son’s birthdays, and everything was beautifully set up in our room when we arrived. It made the occasion feel incredibly special, and the cake was honestly out of this world!

A very special thank you to Simone, who assisted us with our booking and all the birthday arrangements. She even took the time to introduce herself when we arrived and personally made sure that everything was in order. That kind of personal attention really stood out and made us feel so welcome.

Dinner was excellent — every dish was beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious. The chef clearly knows exactly what they are doing! Our room was spotless, comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay.

The team even assisted us with getting firewood to take with us into Kruger National Park, which was incredibly helpful and just another example of how they went the extra mile for us.

We only stayed for one night before continuing into Kruger, but from the friendly service throughout the booking process to the warm welcome and wonderful stay, everything was perfect. Thank you to the entire team for making our short visit so memorable and for helping us celebrate two special birthdays in such a beautiful way.

We will most definitely be back!
