Amazing

fantastic house in the middle of nature. We enjoyed the stay and the meeting with elephants, impalas, warthogs, etc. and many brightly colored birds at the watering hole.

Longer term holiday rental

We were here for nearly 5 weeks. The lodge lived up to all our expectations. Totally private and surrounded by the Kruger bushveld and were visited by 3 types of antelopes and other animals and many birds in the garden. The staff and owner were extremely accommodating and responded very quickly to any queries and offered very good advice on where to go and what to see. We didn't want to leave and will definitely return

Great lodge at Krueger

We had a wonderful stay here for a few days while we toured through Kruegar. We loved the remote feeling and the views of nature and animals, birds, from the porch. Staff were very helpful especially showing us to our house when we arrived after hours, and we had great massages one day. We would recommend this to friends and would love to stay here again.

Dear Barbara & Michael, We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay so much! When you said it was a childhood dream... the expectations were high! So glad we fullfilled those. You had many elephants and other animals around the house. That must have been very impressive! You are always welcome back!

Nice lodge well Placed with Nice Views

We Stayed here for Three nights and the lodge was well maintained and had good views of the Bush, although we only got to see a Leopard tortoise but plenty of Birds. We had breakfast on a couple of mornings and the disappointing thing about this was, it seemed that they could not wait to clear up and get you out . On the house keeping, the outside were we sat was always covered in dead moths from the night before and the cleaners always left them there, so by day two it was left to me to clear up the bodies, and there were lots of them. Very Nice couple that ran the place, but that was not enough to want us to come back.

Dear John, Thank you so much for your review! I am glad you loved the view. Being in the bush like this gives you the best experience of the real bush! This year is an awful year for animals because of the drought. We have been at the house since April 26th and we did have some mornings as well where there were many moth on the floor outside. The problem is that there are not enough birds to catch all of them. Did you ask the housekeeping to clean them every morning? They would have gladly done that for you. In South Africa it is common that waiters clear your plate as soon as you have finished eating. May be that has caused your idea that they wanted you out at breakfast. I know Pretty (the lady) very well and she has all the time in the world to give you a nice breakfast. So this must have been a misunderstanding. If you do decide to come back, you will see more animals, less moth and breakfast is on us !

Luxury home in the bush next to the Kruger Park

Yingwe is a luxury home in the Silonque Bush Estate. The home has 2 bedrooms with a private bathroom next to the bedroom. There is a big kitchen en living room including all the equipment you need to feel at home (airco, microwave and standard oven, Satellite TV etc). There are a lot of nice spots to sit and relax outside the house and the Estate has a very nice swimming pool. You can also have a breakfast or diner (not all year) near to the swimming pool. You are very close to the Kruger National Park so you have the possibility to spot animals like Giraffs, Kudu's, Spingbok, Impala's, Monkeys and even Elephants next to your house. The people at Silonque Bush Estate are very friendly and always willing to help. There are enough possibility's to book Safari's or to visit interesting things in the neighborhood. We were a there for almost a week and we had a very nice and relax time in the house and at the estate.

Wat a great location in the middle of the Bush!

It was not only the location. Also the views, the house, the whole environment, and so much animals we have spotted during our vacation. The house is nice en very relaxt to stay in with a fantastic view over The Kruger Park and the drinking place nearby for the animals. It was for us a vacation we will not forget. We will come back!!

Quiet, luxury and friendly

We arrived at the reception and were very warm welcomed by Laura & Pascal, the managers of the resort. They took us to the beautiful house. We had a beautiful view and were visited several times by local animals, like warthogs, impala's and waterboks. At night we could hear the lions roar in the Kruger NP. The children loved the swimming pools. It was a bumpy ride to get there, but worth it!
