    "We have been to KPL many times and have always stayed at Jabulani 523. We love this place and Terry is the most accommodating host. This was our first time with our 2 year old son and he loved it.

    09 June 2018

    "Jabulani was perfect for our stay as we had just come out of Kruger and was heading to another self catering place in the bush but needed to refresh and stock up. So, this was perfect for us but was unfortunately too short a stay to experience everything on offer."

    30 December 2015

    "Firstly i would like to Thank Terry Rawlings for accomodating my family and I. He went the extra mile and ensured he found us a breathe taking house to stay in even though it was peak season and fully booked. Thank you kindly.<div><br /></div><div>The service was exceptional at Kruger park lodge and fully catered for in every possible manner. The self catering unit we stayed in was spotless and made us feel as if we were in our own house.</div><div><br /></div><div>The kids did not want to leave the resort and was begging to stay longer. I wouldnt have minded squeezing in another 9hole either.</div><div><br /></div><div>Will highly recommend Terry Rawlings and his offerings in Kruger Park Lodge</div><div><br /></div><div>Shaun Sing</div>"

  • "Brilliant Bush Stay"

    05 July 2009

    "Kudos goes to Terry Rawlings for a smooth and hassle-free booking of the other unit at Kruger Park Lodge. Jabulani happened to be booked out but Terry managed to secure us another unit which was just as lovely and comfortable as the one viewed here. We had a great stay and would definitely recommend it as the accommodation and entertainment area in the unit is spacious and welcoming. We absolutely loved sitting out on the deck, watching the resident Impalas graze in the bushels in front of our unit. Winter is a perfect time to visit the Kruger National Park and it's literally down the road from KPL. The only snag with the unit was that the a/c could not be used to heat up the rooms as we were told, however, we made good use of the extra blankets that were provided so we didn't mind too much. The lack of hot water to accommodate 4 people bathing one after the other was also a little annoying, but we managed to work out different bath times so no one went without a hot shower."

  • "WOW..!!"

    30 March 2009

    "It was amazing - Thank you"

  • "Very good - beautiful"

    25 March 2008

    "Stay was excellent, golf course and all facilities were beautiful and well maintained.Accommodation was beautiful, clean and everything was in working order. Especially enjoyed the walking trails, the golf course with the impala roaming freely and the hippo-hide.Only negatives was the buffet on Saturday evening was a let down (it was the only meal we had at the restaurant the rest we did self catering). Both the quality and the variety on offer was a disappointment. Also the ice-cream shop had no change and we had to wait about thirty minutes for three ice creams for the kids before cancelling with the kids crying for ice-cream."
