    The lodge is situated close to a local tavern, we could hear music in the distance from the time we arrived until early in the morning.

    The outdoor shower, the restaurant and bar area.

    We liked the staff they were very friendly, we were attended by Maria by the reception, Wedy and Lawrence from the restaurant their service was good. The food was really bad we did not like the food at all. The lady at the entrance made us pay a conservation fee for going out to the shops and she couldn't even explain what that amount is for just imagine R120/pp and R50 for the so we paid R290 unnecessarily.

    They don't allow music at the pool really. There was a man harassing me and my daughter ( it was sorted out the next day and fhe staff apologized) you save money by getting a chalet instead of economy room which doesn't have a fridge nor braai facilities

    Mimi and Gontse service was exceptional! There are things to do for the kids and shows to watch which are also very interactive. I love the chalets and swimming pool

    Didn't know about the little dam alongside the property's fence, so we missed seeing the 3 or 4 cheetah drinking water there on the morning of our last day in the lodge and park

    Breakfast was delicious, good value for money, and waiters were very friendly and professional. Location of lodge is very conveniently placed near the main gate. William our game drive host was exceptional - went out of his way to find us rhino, cheetah and spotted hyena, and was very passionate, knowledgeable and humorous.

    Shower is too old and not clean. No privacy, you could hear what is happening in the room next to you.

    Perfect service by stuff... Bigs up to one Shack our game driver who went all out to ensure that we see all wild animals.

    Some of the guests were vary noisy late at night but not really the fault of the Game Lodge but some guests failing to self regulate.

    It is a very quiet, natural, and refreshing location, very close to Johannesburg & Pretoria. Self drive option available to explore the game park at one's leasure. Guided tours are also available.

    No activities The game drive was very expensive. No braai facilities No tv or fridge in the room. The menu at the restaurant was basic and they did not have cups for proper coffee just small cups and u still paid full price.

    The staff was friendly. The game drive guide took a lot of extra care to try and make the drive special although on the day there wasn't a lot to see.

    The facilities, the description of the room is inaccurate. One gets caught with false descriptions of the room. Our description said open plan room (wich it was) with two bathrooms (wich it was not) we had one bathroom with a bath and a hand shower. An outside shower that is closed up with canvas. The room looked nothing like the pictures. We were booked for 4 adults and only had two sets of towels and soap. No handwash. Staff is average and definitely there for a salary and not hospitality. Kwalata rides on the area name of Dinokeng. It is very close to the township with a tavern that plays music throughout the whole night till sunrise so not the best sleep. NOT WORTH THE MONEY. I ACTUALLY WANT BOOKING.COM or Kwalata to give me booking credits or money back to have the experience over somewhere else in Dinokeng.

    Well.....not much. The food was average, nothing reastood out that will make one to go back. It is overpriced as well, and this was about the best of the experience.
