Lovely lodge with good facilities and competent and friendly staff.
We had a very nice stay. The log cabins are better than the pictures on the web. It is very clean and well equipped. The outdoor shower is a big plus, the very good and friendly service of the staff. We will definitely visit here again.

Stay was very nice. Food is sub-standard and expensive, better options like Tshikwalo. Staff is very friendly.

"Adjoining rooms" too noisy.
We stayed in the adjoining rooms. You can hear everything that people in the next room are talking about. So I will stay at Kwalata again but not in that accommodation option. Food was good at the restaurant (perhaps a bit expensive) and the staff were friendly.

Not what I expected.
We enjoyed it very much. The 'wooden hut' is well equipped, and I was surprised with the neatly equipped little kitchen. I have to mention the outdoor shower (I want one like that at home now too!). The next morning we did a bush drive and saw lots of animals (it's a separate cost, but really worth the price). The reserve is very beautiful; there was some rain a while back, so the field was beautifully green. There is a good restaurant and the breakfast was excellent. The staff are helpful and friendly. I should mention that there were a few noisy guests staying up late on the other side of the camp, but unfortunately you get that at all places these days and at least it was far from our cabin. Next morning it was fantastic silence and peace. I would really like to stay there again one day and explore more of the reserve. There is a 'conservation fee' that you have to pay when you leave the reserve of R80.00, but if you pay it at the lodge's reception itself, it is only R50.00. The lady helped me nicely. The pictures of the unit are a bit shabby, it was much better than I expected.

Rooms were right next to each other neat with necessary air conditioning and the outdoor shower is unique. The boma area was ideal for the evening's braai!

It's a cute place, just a bit expensive for what you get. Their food is nice but would like to see more on the menu (greater variety) and also for the children's options on the menu.

Short pair of basic things.
It's December, it's hot, no ceiling fans. The small shop has very few things, a person was bitten by a bug, they don't even have a basic antiseptic salve, just take your own things with you or 15 km dirt road to the nearest center. Miernes is our unit, they had to come and spread out.

One unit chatted very loudly throughout the evening. We couldn't sleep. The lodge was going to shut them up after a while but didn't.
Gate was open outside for a long time, anyone can enter. Wrong room was given on arrival. Costs for self game drive are very expensive. Restaurant's open and closed information was wrongly passed on to us from agent.

Will definitely stay in Kwalata again. Accommodation and facilities are outstanding. Staff are friendly and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. A feather in the cap for Kwalata that accommodates a one-night stay - most other facilities require a two-night minimum booking. See you again soon!

It was absolutely fantastic, my husband is a wheelchair user and even he was very impressed.
The staff, from the cleaners, the man at the gate, the information office to the restaurant workers did a fantastic job. I have never found such friendliness and helpful staff at any holiday destination, whether it is someone's specific job or not, they don't care, everyone jumps in to help with anything. You can tell these people want to do their job and they literally go the extra mile. They carry guests on their hands!

Very peaceful, was able to relax.
Kwalata Lodge has a lot of potential but paying R1650 per night for a family unit was not really value for money. The unit was extremely basic without a sink in the kitchen area. There is a small table and at least 2 more chairs missing inside the unit. Staff were very friendly and helpful. A small shop with basic things like ice, wood, soft drinks, ice cream will add a lot to the Lodge. Apart from swimming and animal viewing, there isn't really anything else for kids to do. It's very peaceful.

Neat and clean, peaceful atmosphere. Could do better with value for money.
Arriving in the dark it was a bit difficult to know where to go, check in was quick and few details were given for the next day's movements or doings. First meal after arrival was not the best, from a complete menu only 3 items were available: "farm sausage, steak and chicken fillet". House had problem with toilet, immediately moved to another house 22:00 in the evening. House clean and tidy, atmosphere nice and quiet. Good night's rest. Breakfast and game drive went well with waiting for more! After game drive found out about another one for the afternoon but was not available because it was too full. Left camp and went to Ajustic Monkeys gone for the day due to few activities available on site. On arrival back at the camp 2 wildlife tour vehicles with half empty pickup truck were seen, cap was made at reception and quickly allowed on wildlife tour. Found out from other guest that there is a "heritage braai'' would be. Ask at reception and ask for access. Good food and atmosphere at the braai, nice chat with other guests and children just had fun running around and playing. Nice weekend, but for the money it cost it could have been a lot better!

Kwalata Game Lodge 's response
Dagsê Wynand
Baie dankie vir die terugvoer. Ons waardeer die kommentaar, veral as dit by dra tot ons poging on 'n great ervaring te kan bied. Eerstens wil ek om verskoning vra dat ons personeel nie 100% op hul stukke was met inligting en verwelkoming met wie wat en waar sou wees oor die naweek. Ek merk ook 'n halfhartige poging om van hulp te wees, iets wat reeds aangespreek is.
Ek is bly jul het die Erfinis braai geniet en kon deel in die #kwalataeXperience.
Bosveld groete
