Perfect setting - very private
Janet Alexander, South Africa
18 October 2011
We enjoyed the wonderful view and privacy of the chalet. Very convenient to Crocodile Bridge gates. Lovely, rustic décor, yet very comfortable and well equipped. We were very glad we opted for the two-bed, two-bath unit with air-conditioning in both rooms - at 36 degrees, this was most welcome!
Time of my life

I had the most amazing stay at Elephant Walk. You would be crazy not to stay here! The lodge shares a fence with the Kruger Game Park so at night you can hear all the animals and during the day you can see them from your balcony. The lodge was clean and town isn't far away. Mike and Stephanie are wonderful people and very hospitable.
Holiday

Very nice. Can suggest chopping the trees a bit lower in front of unit 3 as the view is a bit limited.
Enjoyable
Peter Coles, United Kingdom

Highly enjoyable and would recommend the accommodation and the spectacular view from the balcony. Thank you for an enjoyable stay.
A true African sunset
Daniel Mans, South Africa
30 June 2011
What a scene! We were welcomed by a true African sunset at Elephant Walk Retreat. It's not often that you find affordable accommodation and get to see two of the Big 5 while having breakfast on your private deck overlooking the river. The service was friendly and the facilities clean and truly South African.
