We love the outpost but as returned guests we were a bit disappointed in the maintenance of the lodge. Deck walkway needed work. Shutters in the room needed service. Even though the food was good, the previous time it was magnificent.

What an amazing stay we had at Pel‘s Post, the sister lodge of The Outpost! The location of the lodge is superb, the staff excellent and the whole area a must see especially in the green summer months. If you have a chance to visit The Outpost or Pel‘s Post, please do so!

cuidado com as informações ocultas
O suporte do hotéis.com além de falho me fez com que não queira mais utilizar o sistema para reservas. Tentei por diversas vezes chegar em um acordo sobre o fato de não conseguir utilizar o hotel reservado por uma restrição não explícita na reserva e as respostas do próprio hotel e do hotéis.com foram evasivas.

Great lodge
This a great lodge and lived up to all our expectations. Great service, friendly staff and an enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable ranger in the form of Dean. This area of the Kruger Park is not so great for game viewing but the remoteness of the area,the beautiful baobabs and stunning birdlife makes up for the rest. We hope to be back as soon as possible.

What an incredible place
We picked the North of the Kruger National because we read it was more remote and not as busy as the South. Totally accurate and amazing. There is only one other lodge in the area so all the game driving are very private and quiet unlike the south part where it is more Zoo like. Also, it is known to be beautiful and scenic and it truly is. To access you can either drive or as we did take the echo skies charter plane from Johannesburg which was a comfortable, quick and enjoyable experience. The lodge : It is truly beautiful, the rooms are incredible, the views are stunning, the bedding amazing, ETC. ETC. It is like on the pictures, except it's better. Everything is top notch. The amenities, the food (delicious and diverse), the service (kind, friendly, attentive, personalized). You can sleep with the shades open and feel the breeze from your bed while hearing the sounds of all the animals of the bush. What an experience. The games : The is the highlight of the trip. Our guide, Donivan was incredible. So much knowledge but above all passion for the bush and its environment. He knew all about it and communicated to us with his kindness and sense of humor. Wow ! I would definitely recommend staying at least 4 nights to have the chance to see all of it. We saw so much wildness, animals, birds, insects, snakes etc. I travel a lot, but this was definitely a unique and incredible experience !

Ótimo pela estrutura e passeios.
O hotel é lindo e os quartos são um espetáculo, tanto pela vista quanto pelo estilo, facilidades e serviços disponíveis. Os safáris também são perfeitos, com guias pontuais, muito solícitos, gentis e com visível conhecimento sobre a região e os animais. Meu único porém refere-se à parte da alimentação, uma vez que meu pacote foi pensão completa. No café da manhã, em nenhum dia foram servidos ovos e, em alguns dias, sequer havia pão. Geralmente só havia frutas, iogurte, cereais, bolinhos ou biscoitos. Para o padrão do hotel, senti falta de um café da manhã mais requintado e completo.

Once-In-A-Lifetime Experience
Outpost bietet ein unvergessliches Erlebnis: Luxus in der Natur, weit weg von der Zivilisation in Perfektion. Das Servicepersonal ist hervorragend und immer für eine grossartige Überraschung bereit. Matt (unser Guide) leitet enthusiastisch durch den Busch und macht den Aufenthalt komplett! Wir vermissen den Outpost. Wichtigster Tipp: unbedingt 3 Nächte bleiben! Und wer die pure Natur scheut ist hier fehl am Platz!

Luxus Oase
Man wird empfangen wie ein König. Jeder Wunsch wird einem erdüllt. So muss es im Himmel sein. Die Guides sind von anfang bis Ende mit einem unterwegs und erklären sehr viel über die Landschaft und Tierwelt. Man lernt sehr viel zu Allgemeinbildung dazu (Danke Samuel)
