Our stay was incredible! We were treated so well by all the staff and received a personal welcome on arrival. Our game viewing guide, Ayanda, was fabulous and knowledgeable - learnt so many new things about the animals, birds and trees, etc.. I received a birthday cake, which was delicious. The food was wonderful and the menu varied. Wish I had booked a longer stay, but will definitely recommend and stay again. Thank You to all at the Train, who made our stay so exceptional.

On the advice of a friend I decided to really splurge for Kruger, spending three nights at Jock. I can honestly say it was worth every penny. Accommodation was truly luxurious: private, with an outdoor shower, tub, and sleeping area, plus private pool, an indoor shower, a sitting area, and netted four-poster bed. The food was...
