When I raised it with the reception, there was no apology for the inconvenience but only stating that it was the thatched roof. If they know about the leaks, they should maintain the roof."

Top Elephant Whispers Hotel Reviews

Rissington Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful hotel, friendly and helpful staff, beautiful setting, great pool, delicious restaurant on site! Only 20 mins to Kruger. Highly recommend."

Bushbaby Valley Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We were blown away. The photos online don’t do this resort justice — in person, the property is even more beautiful. It’s the perfect mix of relaxing and luxurious, with a spa, full-service restaurant, and amenities that make you never want to leave. But what truly set this place apart was how much they care about guest safety. It reminded me of my teen years when your parents wanted every detail before a date 😅 When our tour guides arrived, the resort logged their vehicle info and took a copy of their ID. They know exactly who you’re with and where you’re going. That level of responsibility gave us such peace of mind. We stayed in the family lodge and it was perfect. Fully furnished, gated yard, private pool, and BBQ area — ideal for families who want space and privacy. A special shoutout to Sphiwe. Please ask for her! Her hospitality was outstanding. She went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and made our stay unforgettable. We’ll be back Chandra"
