Amazing location, people food and facilities

Pros: We enjoyed every bit of our stay at Casart and we would recommend the accommodation to everyone. The location is a 10/10 and with the infinity pool watching over the water pool, we were able to see amazing animals. The people that work at Casart (especially Sonia, Yannick, and Stanford) are very passionate about the animals and only care about making the stay as comfortable as possible for the guests. The food and facilities are very good as well and we do not have any complaints/tips that would have made the stay better.

This is the place you want to be when you are on a safari in Kruger

Pros: Great accomodation, great staff, great time, me and my girlfriend really enjoyed it uppermost. We realize after all that the stay was beyond our expectation. Within the scope of value of money, you get a very comfortable stay, with amazing facilities, very good food, and awesome adventures you will remember forever. The breakfast was very tasty and made with a personal touch. You can give up your preferences based on a choice selection, and the staff will make a wonderful very tasteful breakfast. The diner was also very good, a lot of variety, and the quality of the dishes we're awesome. The staff and people who are hired by this accomodation for the game tours: all very service-oriented, they know how to treath you. I wouldn't wish anything else, Sonja, her staff, and the animals in the Kruger made our stay a very very memorable stay. This is the place you want to be when you are on a safari in Kruger.

Would definitely come back! Amazing vacation

Pros: Everything! We stayed at Casart lodge on the last 2 nights of our honeymoon- and from all the places we’ve been we enjoyed it the most! The food - breakfast was really good and dinner was amazing! Also while eating there is a view to the safari. The staff - was amazing. Each staff member made his best to make our stay memorable. Sonia, Stanford, grace, fikile and happy we’re all really great hosts The rooms are spacious, clean and very well equipped, it seems like they thought about every last detail. We also had 3 game drives with happy - he is the best most informative guide, we also had a drive on our own but it’s so much better when someone so knowledgeable explains everything around, notices to little details and knows exactly where to go for the animals. It completely improves the entire experience.

Cons: Everything was perfect

It was just the perfect place to end our 1 month stay, defenitely a highlight!

Pros: When we arrived we already got a really warm welcome. During the whole stay they just gave everything that were having a wonderful time. The Food was really deliceous and gots prepaired with lots of love! They have as well some really good wines there! The rondawel cabins were really cute and clean, there was everything inside what we needed, as well a fridge. The beds were really comfortable and as well sutable for tall people. The Hotpot heats up quite fast and gets nice warm. From the big Pool in front of the diningp lace youre having just a great view. We booked some tours with them as well, the guides are really experienced and just great guys! They explain a lot about the nature and the animals!

Cons: There is nothing we didn‘t like about this place

Paradise in Africa

Pros: We loved everything about this place. It is simply a paradise in the middle of pure and calm nature. We were especially blown away by the friendliness and open-hearted mentality of all the lovely staff. It felt like home and we would love to come back one day. A huge thank you to Sonia, the owner, who created such peaceful and welcoming atmosphere and her amazing crew who are making an outstanding job.

Cons: There is not one thing we could complain about. The only disapointing aspect: all good things come to an end and so we had to leave this beautiful place. ;-)

Kabelo 8/10

Pros: The location was great, and the waterhole was a wonderful touch—especially with elephants spotted drinking from it. A truly memorable experience.

Cons: For the price, the food didn’t quite meet expectations—there was a good effort put in, but it wasn’t a 5-star experience. Would recommend they get a qualified chef. Similarly, the room felt a bit underwhelming given the cost and needs a bit of TLC.

Heerlijk verblijf midden in de natuur

Pros: Heerlijk 5 dagen verbleven bij Sonia en haar staf, midden in de natuur, met lekker vers ontbijt en diner. Leuke uitstapjes gedaan o.l.v. van Elias en Happy, die hun kennis en passie deelden tijdens de safari’s.

Cons: Het is niet het goedkoopste verblijf.

Ein rundum gelungener Aufenthalt mit tollen Safari-Erlebnissen, herzlichem Service, leckerem Essen und einer traumhaften

Pros: Wir hatten einen großartigen Aufenthalt in der Lodge! Besonders gut hat uns unsere Hütte mit dem eigenen Whirlpool gefallen – perfekt zum Entspannen. Der zentrale Essbereich mit Blick auf das Wasserloch war ebenfalls ein Highlight. Wir hatten das Glück, eine ganze Elefantenherde beim Trinken beobachten zu können – ein unvergessliches Erlebnis! Der Service war durchgehend sehr gut, das Personal freundlich und aufmerksam. Auch das Essen war richtig lecker und abwechslungsreich. Für das, was geboten wurde, fanden wir das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis absolut stimmig. Ein besonderes Highlight waren unsere zwei Safari Drives mit unserem Guide Happy – sehr erfahren und sympathisch. Wir hatten beeindruckende Sichtungen, unter anderem von Nashörnern und Löwen. Insgesamt eine tolle Lodge, die wir definitiv weiterempfehlen würden!

Cons: Es gibt nichts negatives. Was man wissen sollte: Die Lodge ist eher klein, was zwar für Ruhe sorgt, aber bedeutet, dass man meist nur mit wenigen anderen Gästen vor Ort ist. Die Lage ist sehr abgeschieden – ideal zum Entspannen, aber nichts für diejenigen, die in der Umgebung etwas unternehmen möchten. Der Weg zum Krüger Nationalpark ist relativ weit, und da man im privaten Game Reserve nicht selbst fahren darf, ist die Lodge eher nicht geeignet, wenn man den Park auf eigene Faust erkunden will. Wir würden empfehlen, zunächst eine Unterkunft direkt am oder im Krüger (nahe eines Gates) zu buchen und dann hierher zu kommen, um ein paar ruhige Tage mit geführten Safaris zu genießen. Innerhalb der Lodge ist man dafür wunderbar aufgehoben. Unser Eindruck war zudem, dass es im privaten Reservat generell etwas weniger Tiere zu sehen gibt als im Krüger selbst – die Qualität der Safari hängt also auch vom Glück und dem Guide ab (der Guide der Lodge Happy ist aber großartig und nur so haben wir sehen können was wir gesehen haben!)
