What our guests have said about this accommodation

Caroline Dichmont
We had a fantastic stay. The park is wonderful and we were very comfortable in our cottage. Our only criticisms were with the bathrooms. One shower had no hot water and in the other, it was impossible to regulate the temperature - it was either scalding or ice cold. Also, the absence of toilet-roll holders was a mystery - there was everything else one would need! These things did not spoil our stay.
Udo Sachse
Was a total pleasure in all aspects.
Carien du Plessis
I just love the Abrahamskraal house, it is on its own in the middle of nowhere! The house is also suitable for someone in a wheelchair.

Ons het n geruime tyd gelede verslag gegee in verband met ons verblyf in die park, ons sal bly wees indien ons terugvoering kan kry.

Ons het die park vanaf Langebaan hek ingekom. Die persoon daar het ons net deurgelaat sonder dat ons enige dokumentasie getoon het. Het aanvaar dat ons iewers die kantoor gaan kry en in proses by die ander hek uitgekom waar die persoon ons darem toe gehelp het en sleutels aan ons oorhandig het.Ons moes toe "conservation fee" betaal en die volgende dag ons volle "wild card" van R560.00. Die water vir stort was net lou - en dit in hierdie koue tyd van die jaar.

Very helpful even with ever changing trip!
Anja was very helpful in getting our tour booked for our group. With date changes, time changes, even up to the last minute flight changes, she was on top of things! We will use Safari.com in the future for our Kenya safari trips.

Wonderful experience with Safari.com
Wonderful experience with Safari.com. My Safari Agent, Dolan, has 20+ years of experience in booking a memorable safari. He guided me in picking the right lodging and safari within my budget. He offered several options and answered all my questions. His response time was fast, regardless of the international time difference, and we were able to make quick decisions. Highly recommend.

Shann was very responsive
Shann was very responsive, provided multiple options, and was flexible to our changing needs and desires. Our travel selection was somewhat last minute and Shann was able to accommodate with many price points and reserves that were lower malaria risks.

Exceptional Planning and Service by Shann & Safari.com
I had an exceptional experience working with Shann as my travel advisor for planning my upcoming trip to Kruger, Botswana, and Victoria Falls. She was incredibly attentive and accommodating, seamlessly tailoring the trip to fit our budget and preferences. Shann’s meticulous attention to detail in the planning process has given us complete confidence that our trip will be smooth and memorable. She is always prompt in her responses and available to answer any questions we might have. I highly recommend her and safari.com

Leigh-Ann was amazing.
Leigh-Ann was amazing. She worked incredibly hard to provide us with our complex safari in Botswana and our travel and accommodation in South Africa. Leigh-Ann was always very helpful and encouraging which must have been very difficult for her as we were within a very tight time schedule to arrange our holiday. She was very thoughtful and even included a list of the things we would need to take. I am so happy with the final outcome and I am very thankful to Leigh-Ann and the other Safari.com team members who worked so hard to make our dream safari a reality.
