Ollie, thank you for taking the time to give us that feedback.
I am pleased that your trip was such a success. It is the little things that make all the difference. I hope to see you coming back again to enjoy this special place.

Ollie,really pleased that you had such an excellent trip in terms of good service.
Thank you also for taking the time to give us positive feedback about the service on this Forum. Really wonderful to hear.So often people are far more prone to just want to complain and criticise. So a really heartfelt thank you

Morning Ollie, I'm very glad you had such a great trip with exceptional service, thank you very much for taking the time to give the feedback. I will move this over to Under the Ubuntu Tree later where your feedback and thanks will be forwarded to the camps/staff concerned.
Friday afternoon we were on our way to Tlopi camp for the weekend. A kinda honeymoon....
Although I have been to Marakele before, many years ago, and knew how to get there, we followed the stupid Iphone map directions. Result? We ended up late, in the dark, without a clue where we were. Tempers started fraying....
Then we came upon a bakkie with 2 gate personnel. They kindly collected our key from the receiption, and another member took us via shortcut to our tent.
Heavensent!
I did not get these people`s names, bur rest assured, Marakele`s people is pretty high up on my list of dedicated Park staff.
If anybody is in a position to do so, please extend our thanks and compliments to Marakele`s gate staff again!
Thanks for the feedback Mike, I will make sure it gets to the personnel concerned! I do hope the rest of your weekend went smoothly and you had a good and enjoyable time.
Ollie, thanks for the wonderful review .... so many times we are quick to complain but slow to give praise. This is heartwarming to know - we will be there in October with 2 American couples (friends) who are super excited about their upcoming trip to KNP. I will share this with them.
I made a booking with Central Reservations via email for accommodation in KNP in November. It was a bit slower than the usual phone call, but all correct and completed without trouble.
During this booking process I made use of BOOK ONLINE for the first time ever. This is the really impressive bit. Awesome way to keep your bookings together in one place. I will be in Phalaborwa next week so decided to have a go at booking a day visit for one day. Process completed in less than 5 minutes. Again - really impressive.
