The Knowledge of the tracker (Donald) and our guide (Helen) was exceptional and they ensured we were able to see everything. We seen leopards, cheetahs and lions. You stop for a morning coffee out in the bush and sundowners in the evening, this was also excellently organised. The rooms are absolutely stunning with the biggest mini bar I’ve ever seen. The drink options are fantastic. Super comfortable rooms and luxurious. Food was superb. Each evening there was a different location for dinner excellently curated by the team at the hotel, with food prepared to a very high standard. We also used the gym facilities which were great.

What a memorable stay.
Our experience was perfect from start to finish. Booking the experience through Andy set the tone for the stress-free bush experience.
From the vanilla scented towels, to the delicious food, exciting game drives and phenomenal staff, our stay at Shiduli was magical from the second we arrived and lives in our hearts long after we left.
Your helpful staff greeted us as we arrived and and were with us every step of the way... literally. We were escorted to our private villa by Gary, who my children absolutely adored. Richard, in the bar was on form and Gogo Dorris had faith that we would see lions... which we did.
Thandy and Karen were friendly, professional and made us feel like old friends. We will definitely be back and will bring our friends and family so they can share in this beautiful gem.

The main aim for anyone visiting the Kruger National Park is to view Africa's Big Five in their natural habitat, roaming free without fences or barriers and interacting with the different other species.
The Big Five is a term developed by hunters in the early 20th century which described the most dangerous five animals to hunt on foot; Lion, Leopard, Cape Buffalo, Elephant & Rhino. Here you will find a selection of safari lodges inside Kruger National Park which we recommend to make your visit to South Africa the perfect African safari holiday.
There are a number of Private Wildlife Reserves bordering the Kruger National Park, all of them offer luxury private safari lodge accommodation and superb safari experience.
Private Game Reserves near Kruger like Sabi Sands or Timbavati are very well-known and offer some of the best private and luxury safari lodges in South Africa. There are no fences; the animals roam freely between Kruger Park and the Private Game Reserves. Spot the wild animals from your lodge while they are gathering around a waterhole or go on day or night drives in open land rovers. For the adventurers, bush walks are also available. Other game reserves are fenced, however they provide visitors the opportunity to see Africa's Big Five in their natural habitats in the shortest time possible.
