Komati River Chalets - Kruger National Park - Self Catering
Komati River Chalets is nestled on the confluence of the Komati and Crocodile Rivers in the Southern Kruger Park region of Mpumalanga’s Wild Frontier. Situated on 12 acres of Komati river front wilderness, Komati River Chalets is one of the regions premier country accommodation providers. The famous Kruger National Park's, Crocodile bridge gate is a mere 12km from the lodge. The sweet veld grasses of the South Eastern Kruger National Park ensure that this is arguably the best game viewing areas of the entire park with vast herds of plains game followed by the predators who are attracted to the spoils of this pristine area.
Both Mozambique and Swaziland are but a stone throw from Komati River Chalets providing the perfect base from which to explore both exotic destinations. The restaurant, bar and pool facilities, and the individual chalets, are no more than fifty meters from the water’s edge where pods of hippos and an array of spectacular bird life will entertain for hours on end.

...moreIt was a pleasure having Max as our consultant. As I'm in the service industry myself, Max was very flexible and took all my requests to create a fantastic itinerary. African Travel Consultants delivered on their promise. Once I arrived in Cape Town, I never had to contact him as everything was in place. We highly recommend ATC!

The lodge itself is incredibly luxurious, rooms were very tidy, bed was comfortable and the front balcony with the pool is lovely touch. All of the staff are very friendly and attentive. The food was simply outstanding and consisted of a buffet breakfast and lunch, and lovely dinner out on the deck.
The lodge itself is situated within a private concession of Kruger National Park which is densely populated with animals. The guides know their way around like the back of their hands and we were fortunate enough to see all of the big 5 (and even wild dogs). The highlight had to be seeing a leopard drag an impala up a tree - a once in a lifetime experience which wouldn't have been possible without our fantastic guide, Connor

...moreI together with my other five friends we booked safari with Sally from African Travel Consultants, we spent three days on safari to the Masai Mara. Everything was well organized, the driver came to pick us on time and the whole safari was full of fun & excitement. We managed to see the big five and we were lucky to have a fantastic cook Joe ! We really enjoyed the meals. I highly recommend Sally from African Travel Consultants as it's the only company that was cost effective for a group of interns & students, Great service and very professional.
