Elephant Point

Amazing to be able to see the animals from your balcony! Yingwe Lodge has everything you need and is set up perfectly to enjoy a luxury stay. Only a 5 minute drive from the entrance of Kruger National park meant for plenty of Safari drives whenever suits. The lodge was big enough for a large group with great dining areas, pool and gym to enjoy too. Highly recommend a stay at Yingwe!

Elephant Point is a 100/10 stay. We stayed at the Mavalanga lodge and the house is beautiful with everything you need. All of the staff is so helpful and responsive. Melody helped with all pre arrival items that made organizing the trip so easy. We did morning and evening game drives with Romeo. He made sure we saw all of the big 5 and even more. He was so knowledgeable about the animals and history of Kruger. Nelly and the maintenance team were also always around helping clean or with really anything you might need like setting up the fire. My family had an incredible trip and would highly highly recommend Elephant Point! We hope to be back one day!

The lodge is very spacious. However, I was unhappy with the service, and the food was not value for money. I would have appreciated some empathy and better communication regarding my son's incident.

A great place to stay close to Kruger NP. This place is truly magical and the staff goes beyond to make the stay even more pleasant. The restaurant located right on the river gives a great alternative for cooking youself.

The lodge is beautiful and cleaned. On arrival there were some black insects on the floor upstairs in the room due to some windows left open. Despite that, two people came to help us cleaning the house and checking the windows and the problem was sorted in a few hours. The people that come to clean the house, the pool and the garden are really friendly and nice. The only thing I am not happy with is the game drive with the guides provided by Elephant point. We managed to see more animals driving around by ourselves just following the tips of other people than with the guides. I honestly assumed (also considering the expensive price of the game drive) that the guides would have been more informed and could have shared information about animals sites but we were either very unlucky or the game drives not structured well enough. The food provided during the game drives doesn’t live up to expectations too. A complaint is that the last day before the checkout, the housekeepers came to clean the apartment at 9 am, basically chasing us while we were packing. I would have expected them to come and clean after our checkout. And they made us inspect the house for a missing body cream that we didn’t take, probably was just moved to another room or floor. The thing was a bit intense. I recommend this place, just not sure if the game drives are worth the price.

A beautiful place to stay it is beautifully decorated, plenty of space and things to do, privacy is great and any safari tour you book with the staff from elephant point was fantastic our guide always went above and beyond to ensure we had a good experience we managed to see all of the big 5 and so much more
