Awelani Lodge

Beautiful lodge with good facilities and friendly staff. Safe area / good security. Our unit was well-equipped and clean. Enjoyed the swimming pool during the heatwave period. Wish we had more time to explore the rest of the property (the cave and baobab tree) and to enjoy a meal at the restaurant - next time! Was well-located for an early entrance to Kruger at Pafuri Gate. Admin team informed us well in advance of some temporary WiFi issues due to their network provider's tower outage. Limited data network (close to the pool) was sufficient to maintain Whatsapp access to contact friends/family.

The staff was very accommodating and pleasant throughout our stay. We checked in at 03:00 in the morning versus 21:00 previous day as planned. They even made means to have someone available for us to check in after it was clear we were not going to check in on time due to accident on route. Breakfast was lovely. Tents are beautiful and cater for privacy.

I was one of the previous HR Managers at Tshikondeni Mine. Tshikondeni was home to our three children and will always be. The evening at dinner one of my previous staff members at the Mine, named Girly, saw me and remembered me from more than 21 years back. That lady is so special. She is a gift to Avelanie lodge!. Please look well after her. We will definately be back and next time we will do the cave braai.

Self catering lodge, very clean. We didn't use the kitchen etc. we ate at the restaurant meals were good, with good size portions. Breakfast was cooked when you arrived with a good selection of cereals and juice. Pool was nice size, but no seating. We think that this hadn't been put out yet

A great place to stay in before or after visiting the Kruger National Park. The lodge grounds are beautiful, and the rooms are clean and comfortable. We had breakfast and dinner at the restaurant and were satisfied with both.
