South Africa

Reviewer Type: Couple

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Loved the staff, especially Sly, the game ranger and Phumzile who served us during breakfast and supper. Both of them went above and beyond to make our trip memorable. Food was incredible and chef Kenneth made sure we were catered for, specifically tending to my dietary requirements The lodge is well kept and the rooms are cleaned daily and turned over before bedtime. Bedding is also changed daily. All this is done without you actually seeing any of the cleaning staff, so hats off to them for working their magic. The game walk with Sly was exceptional and he made every effort to ensure that the safari part of the trip was interesting despite the limited size of the reserve. The location is also close to the Orpen gate, so if you want to head into Kruger National Park on a self drive or with a separate guided safari, then that is also an option.

Negative: The reserve is very small (170 ha) and game drives are limited in terms of the variety of animals you can see. Not Phelwana specific, but the Rhino anti-poaching security guard at the entrance of Guernsey Road came across as a bit pushy for a tip when we left, even though he just moved the traffic cone when we needed to pass. It made us feel uncomfortable.

Summary: Restful stay at Phelwana
