Turaco Lodge - No Loadshedding

W O W This was our first time in SA and it did not disappoint! The lodge is in a beautiful location with fabulous animals who love to visit. We got up close to the zebra, kudu, bush babies, genet, pumba and so many more. It far exceeded our expectations! The managers, Kent, Michelle, Terry & Trudy, went far beyond to make sure we were looked after, nothing was any trouble for them. The owner also dropped in and introduced himself, which was a lovely touch. The food was out of this world (although I did get a little over whelmed at portion size by my OH helped me out) The chefs were amazing and came out every meal to explain the food. The lodge was spotless, the lovely maids made sure of that. The pool guy kept himself busy, looking after both the grounds and pool. We stayed 10 nights and had an excursion booked every day. The Game Drives were wonderful. We were fortunate enough to see the big 5 more than once. I cannot express enough how amazing this was. Our guides, Dirk and Johan (Dirk for 3 & Johan for 1) absolutely knew their stuff and didn’t give up looking for animals. Dirk even found us wild dogs in our last 5 mins on our last safari. This isn’t just any holiday, it’s been the best experience of our lives and that’s down to the fantastic staff at Turaco. Thank you.. you truly made our year!

For Trudy and Michelle We are now safely back in France, but our hearts are still in South Africa with you. We cannot thank you enough for the truly unforgettable stay we enjoyed at your lodge. You are both such wonderfully caring and generous people, and we feel so grateful for the warmth of your welcome and for all the amazing moments we were able to share thanks to your thoughtful tips and recommendations. Your values, kindness, and hospitality are truly exceptional, and we will gladly recommend you to anyone dreaming of a safari adventure in South Africa. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for everything. We wish you continued success and happiness, and we send you both our warmest hugs. With all our affection,

Absolutely everything here was outstanding! The staff was so welcoming and made us feel like family members during the whole stay. Dinner was a highlight every single evening, always freshly cooked and tasty. We had two safari drives with Dirk, who didn't give up until we spotted every single animal we wanted to see. He took us on a family trip on father's day with his wife's sisters and their husbands and we felt like family throughout the day. During our stay we learned a lot about Marloth Park and Kruger and couldn't be happier to have chosen this lodge! Thanks again to Dirk, Michelle and Kent! It was brilliant! A home away from home.
