Photos and Description of the Mpumalanga vacation lodge rental
Lodge, 3 Bedrooms, 3 Baths, (Sleeps 6)

Settle into our modern and comfortable three bedroom villa within the confines of a secured resort and just 10 minutes from South Africa's flagship Kruger National Park (KNP). This self-catering unit, in Hazyview, offers a fully equipped kitchen with spacious open plan living and dining rooms, three full bathrooms, and a large outdoor deck with braai/BBQ. One en-suite bedroom has a king bed, another has two twin beds with its own bathroom while the third en-suite upstairs has two twin beds. All bedrooms have air-conditioning. Sip your favorite drink while enjoying the South African sunset over the mountains from the romantic, shaded balcony off the upstairs bedroom. Among the resort’s many amenities are a golf course, tennis courts, and plenty of kids' activities. Our villa is a minute’s walk from one of the resort’s three swimming pools (not the main one so less busy) and close enough to the hippo hide to hear them grunt at night. The villa is located near three supermarkets, restaurants, pubs and shops. Only10 minutes away, KNP’s Phabeni entrance gate is one of the few that offer guided night drives to safari enthusiasts not staying inside the game reserve.

The open plan living and dining rooms give the downstairs an airy feel with views of the outside and easy access to the patio via two sliding doors. A large wooden deck with built-in grill/braai is an ideal entertainment area and a lovely way to the end the day. Double covered parking is available. A nine-hole 18 Tee Gary Player designed golf course, three swimming pools, and a restaurant are also on site. All bed linens and bathroom towels are provided. The lounge offers selected DStv.

Guests have access to all the following amenities provided at The Kruger Park Lodge:

On-site restaurant

‘Big Five’ game drives

Bird watching

4 tennis courts

Hippo hide

Putt putt/mini-golf

Gary Player 9-hole (18 Tee) golf course and driving range

About Owner/Property Manager

We are Heeten and Jenny and we own Swagat at Kruger Park Lodge. Heeten is from South Africa and Jenny is from Sweden. We have two kids and have enjoyed the wildlife and safaris for many years. We enjoy self-drive safaris and believe this is a wonderful way to enjoy the world famous Kruger National Park.

Owner/Property Manager purchased this lodge in 2012
Why Owner/Property Manager chose Mpumalanga

Owning Swagat at Kruger Park Lodge is realizing a dream we have had for many years. Both our families love wildlife and are passionate about going on safaris -- we have been on safari in Kenya, Tanzania, and -- of course -- South Africa. We are so 'wild' about Kruger National Park in particular, that we even got married at a bush camp in the park!

The Kruger Park Lodge is a development with many amenities and this remains one of the main reasons we bought a place here. The place is immaculate and well maintained.

What makes this lodge unique

We wanted to find a home that gave us easy access to the Kruger Park. The Phabeni Gate is 10 minutes away so we can enter the park easily and come back to relax at the lodge.

To us, being in Kruger is at once peaceful and exhilarating: it is wonderful to be disconnected from the buzz of the internet and telephones, and to just take in the unique sounds, sights, smells, the air. And nothing beats the excitement of being the ones to spot a leopard or hear a herd of 200 buffalo thundering past the car. There is truly a satisfaction and excitement in spotting animals on your own, feeling like you are really in a wildlife documentary.

Swagat stay- clean, comfortable, spacious and convenient

We recently spent 3 nights at Swagat and had a lovely stay.. We were a family of 6 adults and 1 child. The unit was clean, comfortable, spacious and conveniently located near a shopping centre. The unit was serviced daily. Kruger Park Lodge is minutes away from Kruger Park and the many attractions in the area. The Kruger Park lodge has many sporting and entertainment activities to keep everyone happy. I would recommend this lodge for self catering holidays with large families.

We received excellent and prompt service from the owner, Heeten who was available whenever we called or emailed him. The lodge was well furnished and had everything you could possibly need. I was impressed that there was a dishwasher....what a bonus? Who wants to do dishes on their holiday?....It really was a home away from home. The lodge is centrally located and close to a shopping mall. So whether you need some extras(food, drink, etc) or you forgot your bathing costume or need sunblock, you can find all this and more at the shopping mall located 1km away from the lodge. How convenient is that? There are restaurants and other shops all very close to the lodge. The lodge itself makes a mean daquirie if you are interested and much much more. This was an amazing holiday where we could relax when we wanted to and we could go to the famous Kruger National Park with the closest gate about 20 min away, whenever we wanted to. We saw lions, elephants, rhinos, buffalo, and different buck and bird species. Amazing!!!! Whether you are a group of friends or a family, this lodge will meet all your needs. Can't wait to go back....

We throughly enjoyed our stay at Swagat. It was situated in a quiet part of the Kruger Park Lodge. The lodge was very spacious and would make a great place to stay for Christmas as there is plenty of room for the family as well as a well equipped kitchen. Heeten was very helpful when it came to our booking before and after our stay. Thanks for the wonderful hospitality. We can't wait for our next trip!

What a wonderful place, beautiful

5 of 5
Submitted: December 30, 2012 Stayed: November 2012
I am a travel agent so I have travelled and stayed at many resorts. bed and breakfast, home stays etc I have to say that our stay at Swagat at Kruger Park Lodge was amazing. What a beautiful place. Comfortable, very big and spacious. It was set in a very peaceful area. Very clean and we had everything we needed. If you are going for a week or want to stay for a few nights before or after you commute to Kruger from JNB, it is a great option. It worked at very well for us as we had flown from Cape Town to JNB, rented a car and drove ourselves to Kruger. We stayed here before entering the park where then we stayed in the parks. It was so nice to be able to unwind and relax before heading to Kruger. There was a laundry facility near by which we used. Although this is a big house with a nice big kitchen, we did choose to get food at the resteraunt at Kruger Lodge. The Villa was so nice though , we didn't want to leave it, so we went and ordered the dinner to go and brought it back to the villa and enjoyed a nice meal in our jammies. The resteraunt was very accomodating wrapping everything up and we had all we needed in the villa to sit around the nice dining room table and enjoy a quiet family dinner. We were able to then relax in the living room with our maps and plan out our self drive safari. The grocery was very easy to get to, right up the road. Kruger Gate was only like 15 minutes if not less. Heeten, the owner, was amazing. He will help you with your trip plans and is an excellent source of information. But what I liked most is he is very passionate about his villa, South Africa and all that the area has to offer. He obviously takes pride in his place and the area.
