Excellent value for money - the dinner and breakfast that were included were great and we enjoyed the family style dinner with other guests. The accommodations are basic and a little rustic but for the price you pay we were very satisfied.

What a special place! One cool newer addition is an observation platform so you can watch the sun set and scan for leopards! The camp is so peaceful and comfortable and meals were exceptional! Speaking of meal, our first few moments of a morning game drive we found a leopard in a tree eating breakfast with hyena underneath waiting for scraps. Everything about this place and the people who work here was wonderful!

Rustic & welcoming

Well designed tents with very comfortable beds. Showers worked fine, solar powered lighting was just lovely. We were there in August - very cold at night (need wholly hats & gloves, especially for the early morning safari). Surrounded by the bush, just on the other side of the fence from the reserve. Staff very friendly. Patrick the safari guide was great - very knowledgable and professional. Highly recommended.

La struttura è molto wild per gli amanti della natura. È caratteristico e originale per il suo essere in piena sintonia con l’ansia natura! Questo pregiudica le comodità.

The staff here all go out of their ways to please. The food is decent, and the luxury tent gives you a nice experience of roughing it in Africa — combined with appreciated basic amenities that you wouldn’t get if you were actually roughing it! The game safari ride they offer (for an additional fee) showed us lions, leopards, buffalo, elephants, Impalas, giraffes, and more! Very good value for the money.

Awesome experience

It is so much better than amazing, it's the real deal. Rustic, but if you want a real African Safari this is the place. We took the evening Safari and it was an awesome experience. Don't let the affordable price scare you away...it was priceless.

Great overnight stay, close to Kruger, heard lions crunching on a kill during the night next to the fence.

Campo tendato situato in una posizione strategica a pochi chilometri sia dall'Orpen Gate del Parco Kruger che dal Manyeleti. Si possono organizzare Safari sia alla mattina (6 AM) che nel pomeriggio (4 PM) a un presso di circa 40 €. Hoedspruit (e aeroporto) sono raggiungibili in un'oretta di auto (80 km).

Pleasant Experience

Good experience but my fault for not realizing it would be hot in the tent with no air movement. Check in was smooth. Greeted nicely Dinner was good nothing special. We left at 5am for Kruger and had arranged for a packed breakfast to go which we picked up from the security guard. All in all a nice visit but like other reviews stated it is not for everyone. I think it would be better in cooler weather.

Authentic tented-camp experience.

Very good experience for tented-camp, with as much comfort as needed for a city family to make it through a couple of days in the wilderness.

2/10 Poor

Es handelt sich um einfachsten Minimalstandart wenn überhaupt. Von eigenem Bad kann keine Rede sein. Stockdunkel dort. Duschboden wackelt und Toilette läuft unten aus. Moskitonetz zu klein und voller Löcher. Zum Dessert gibts Dosenfrüchte...

Incredible stay at The Wild Olive Tree

I'll start by saying that the Wild Olive Tree would not be to everyone's taste. It's a bit rustic but that was the charm for us. We struggled to find accommodation that wasn't super posh and overly priced in Kruger and Wild Olive Tree totally suited our style and expectations. From the moment we arrived everyone who worked there was super kind. The food was quite nice - though at breakfast some pesky monkeys stole the yogurt from the common table! Dinner was served at communal tables and it was nice to get to speak to other travelers. The best part of our stay, however, was our safaris we had booked with Wild Olive Tree. We did an evening safari and a morning safari and both were incredible. Patrick, our guide, took us through Manyeleti Reserve which shares an unfenced border with Kruger. So as Patrick said, "if you can see the animals in Kruger you can see them here". And, wow, what amazing animals we saw. I would highly recommend you stay at the Wild Olive Tree if you want a low key local experience. And you must book the safaris! One last note, the only down side was the hot water was too hot in the shower for me to use. It seemed to be either hot or cold but that was a small inconvenience in an otherwise great stay.

Esperienza molto positiva!

L'arrivo è stato dopo il tramonto con un buio pesto ma la sicurezza all'entrata del Kruger è stata di una gentilezza incredibile a spiegarci la strada verso il campo che... non è proprio semplice arrivarci con il buio. Il campo è molto locale assolutamente non occidentale, per noi è stata un esperienza unica. La manager è carina e disponibile, ci siamo sentiti subito a casa. Aperitivo intorno al fuoco, cena tipica tutti assieme, un sereno riposo con il barrito degli elefanti. Semplicemente una bellissima esperienza!

Bffff

No hot weather for a shower!! Some of them were nice and some not. But the worst is my room was paid before and they keep telling me that I have to pay again 50% of the room even I have the prove but for not spending more than already one hour. U did paid again and I will resolve this with hotel.com..I will not come back again

Authentische Glamping Unterkunft

Die Unterkunft ist wirklich toll. Direkt an einem privaten Reservat und unmittelbar vor den Türen des Kruger Nationalparks gelegen, ist sie ein toller Ausgangspunkt für Safaris. Die Zelte sind groß, mit Toilette, Waschebecken und Dusche versehen sowie einem gemütlichen Doppelbett mit Moskitonetz. Nachts hört man das ein oder andere Tier aus dem Reservat. Abends gibt es ein Abendessen sowie ein Lagerfeuer. Ein Pool ist ebenfalls vorhanden, sollte man mal eine abkühlen brauchen. Ich fand es absolut toll und würde jederzeit wieder dort übernachten.
