    Magical 🐘

    This was our first time visiting the Kruger area, and Parsons Hilltop Safari Lodge completely exceeded all our expectations! 🩷 ​The Accommodation & Views: Our luxury tent was stunning—immaculately clean, spacious, and beautifully designed. Looking out over the waterhole was a highlight, especially with regular visits from kudu right near our tent! Hearing lions roaring outside our tent and listening to the vocal bush frogs each night made us fall in love with being so close to nature. ​ The Game Drives: The safari drives were out of this world! Estalie was an incredible guide whose dedication made our experience truly magical. She was determined to find not just the Big 5, but all wildlife—we were even fortunate enough to spot wild dogs feeding, which was an unforgettable moment! Thankyou, for making this truly amazing for us 🩷🐘 ​ Dining, Hospitality & Value: The food was divine! Every meal was beautifully prepared, delicious, and extremely generous—the chef did a fantastic job, and you definitely won't leave hungry. When you factor in the 5-star meals, two incredible daily game drives, and total luxury, it represents exceptional value for money compared to other safari lodges in the area. The views from the lodge itself are absolutely breathtaking—you can see for miles, which made sitting out during mealtimes an absolute joy. ​The Staff & Team: Communication both before and during our stay was effortless. The housekeepers and maintenance team were so kind, thoughtful, and worked tirelessly to keep the grounds maintained to an impeccable standard. ​Tip for future travelers: The dirt road leading up to the lodge is quite an adventure—very hilly and bumpy, almost like a fairground ride! Having a high-clearance vehicle or booking a transfer service is definitely recommended. ​ Thank you to the whole team at Parsons Hilltop for an unforgettable stay. We couldn't have asked for a better birthday safari experience!🙏🩷🐘🦒

    Super!

    Prachtige locatie! Mooie luxe tenten! Er wordt goed voor je gezorgd bij Parsons. De gamedrives zijn top!

    Wat achterstallig onderhoud zoals bijv gaten in muskietennetten, vogelpoep op de kussens en stoeltjes zijn hier en daar kapot.

    Très joli camp dans une réserve privée, très bien équipé. L’ambiance est familiale et tout est très bien organisé. Les derniers 10km de route se fond dans la réserve, il est mieux d’avoir au moins un SUV.
