"Pros: The beautiful lodge with so much nature and animals all around! Knowledgeable game drive guides but most of all Francisco the manager and Christopher the waiter:) Always sweet and smiley and caring! During our stay we were in a huge trouble because we got a flat tire while driving in the Kruger park. Our engine won’t start either because we had hit when the tire got punctured. Needless to say we were stuck in the wilderness and it had started to get dark. We called Francisco and he organised a rescue mission for us and got us safe and sound out of there! He didn’t have to but he went above and beyond the call of duty and was kind and helpful! We will never forget all his help! There are many many private game reserves in and around Kruger park but in the end it comes down to not just seeing the magnificent animals but how you are pampered after the game drive and we can say without a doubt that we found the best people in Elandela private game reserve:) The white lions of course were gorgeous and we saw buffalo’s, giraffes and countless others and we think it was a great value for money! We highly recommend this lodge for a great stay! Cons: The only thing that was a small concern may because we are not used to it was the Crocodile down in the pond. It had killed various animals while we were there so naturally we were both intrigued as well as a bit scared:)" ~Najam
