Ku Sungula Safari Lodge

Myself and 2 daughters granddaughter and 3 friends visited Ku sungula lodge for 4 nights from the 27/12 24 Our safaris and guides were brilliant we managed to see wild dogs and lions make kills and had fantastic info from John and Coffey out guides . Food excellent rooms spotless attention to detail 10 out of 10 . Would be glad to recommend this excellent to anyone .

Best ever safari experience! Everything was perfect! Great place, friendly staff, good food, nice pool and a totally best ever experience with the safari. We had two safaris per day, one in the early morning and one in the afternoon and we did see elephants ( a lot), lions, buffalos, crocs, giraffs, rhinoceros, impalas, other deers and many more during the four tours we did during three days.

Had the most amazing safari experience. Ku Sungula offers a fantastic stay, the rooms are lovely, each with its own outside veranda/sitting area, the food was exquisite, a la carte. The grounds are well kept, a lovely pool and lots of sitting areas. We were visited by elephants whilst sunbathing by the pool. We went on two safari drives per day, our rangers, Universe and John, were absolutely fantastic, in tracking the big 5. Had great service by all.

It is a pity that there are only five stars to rate our stay at the Ku Sungula Safari Lodge, because the lodge, the reserve and all we experienced was worth a lot more than that. Paola is a well-travelled visitor of African reserves and lodges, from Kenya, Namibia, Tanzania and Botswana, while the four days we spent in the Kruger were my very best stay in an African lodge. We chose the Ku Sungula through Safaribookings becuase we liked the versatility of the portal and the description of the lodge. Still, I would have never expected the much we definitely found and the bonuses we enjoyed. The whole process of inquiry and booking went smooth and easy. Yolanda, who then we met at the lodge, was just perfect in replying quickly to all my requests of information. The great and extremely pleasant surprise came with the arrival to the lodge: friendly and caring staff, great attention to all services, the neat and cozy cottage they assigned to us, fantastic food served on immaculate tableclothes for breakfast and lunch, while watching elephants, zebras and giraffes grazing and walking right in front of our eyes. As well as a warm boma dinner time spent with the other guests of the lodge. All was as described and shown in the lodge's web site. Even a lot better than a picture or a blurb can describe. And then the early morning and the night safari games with a brilliant Moses, as well as the great tracker (the best "eyes of Africa" in spotting wildlife, as Paola called him) sitting in front of the reliable and sturdy car. We have been able to spot all Big Five and much, much more, mostly close to the car but always with a sense of safety given by the both driver and tracker. This has certainly been the most rewarding experience of the whole 4-week trip in South Africa and quite likely one of the very best travel experiences both Paola and I have made during these past twenty years spent together travelling across all continents. A REAL paradise that unfortately lasted only four days. I wish I had previously decided to stay longer than that. A special thank goes to fabulous Yolanda, who did a lot more than we would expect from a manager-in-residence. She offered us an unforgettable surprise candle-lit dinner for our anniversary that I had only brielfy mentioned to her. Yolanda also arranged for us a safari inside the Kruger NP with Bress, a nice, experienced and multi-skilled English lady who has resided here for over 15 years . Furthermore, Yolanda arranged for us the booking of one unplanned flight and drove us personally to Huidspruit airport. It is very hard to thank her properly. We only hope to come back soon to Kruger and Ku Sungula, which we could certainly consider our wonderful home-away-from home.
