218 guests' feedbackVery nice stay. Neat, equipped chalets. From the chalet's porch we saw many animals: waterbucks, wildebeests, impalas, warthogs. The highlight was the family of cheetahs that came to drink water, and the herd of buffalo that passed by early in the morning. You will definitely see us again.
Very nice stay. Nice to be able to witness wildlife like this.
It was very special to be able to see lots of wildlife coming to the waterhole in front of our chalet.
Very nice stay, hosts were very friendly and the location with all the animals in the morning and evening made it an excellent stay!
Place was comfortable, tidy and the host was very friendly and helpful.
Very nice stay at De Kleine Setengeti!
Very neat and well located accommodation in a peaceful woodland environment. Close to all the main self-drive game routes of Dinokeng and also a variety of game on own premises. Friendly service and daily cleaning leaves you with a real holiday feeling.
The hostess is a star. All the staff are fantastic. We really enjoyed the unit. Everything was super neat and modern.
We had a great stay, thank you. Katryn and her staff were friendly and very helpful.
Thank you very much, we had a great stay.
Once again, Katryn and team have exceeded our expectations. Thank you for making our getaway so special and memorable!
No one will ever regret booking this beautiful place. Great atmosphere and great people! Not a single complaint.
Great! The unit was very well equipped and clean. The staff were very friendly.
Place was peaceful and refreshing. I enjoyed myself.
We had a wonderful stay at De Kleine Serengeti Game Lodge. We would stay there again anytime.
Comfortable and clean and tidy.
It was very pleasant to stay at De Kleine Serengeti Game Lodge. The game passes right by the lodge. I was so blessed to see three lions a few meters from the entrance gate. It was truly a fantastic experience. The restaurant's food was also very tasty and the service very good. Thank goodness that a previous visitor let me know about mosquito stuff, otherwise I would probably have been carried away by the mosquitoes.
Awesome place to stay. Relaxing atmosphere and super friendly staff. Restaurant serves delicious meals.
Very nice stay as always.
Beautiful, clean accommodation. Staff very friendly and helpful. Can definitely recommend it.
Perfectly clean, quiet, and saw game from the fence.
It was an absolute feast to stay at De Kleine Serengeti! The long weekend was just too short and we wish we could have stayed longer. The unit was nice and clean with everything you could need, and the daily cleaning service was a bonus! It is the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The restaurant on site is fantastic and makes the most delicious milkshakes! I also highly recommend doing one of their game drives. We will see you again in the future for sure.
See stars.
Thank you very much for the friendly reception. The place is very neat and clean. All the best. The air conditioner was great. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The food at the restaurant is great! The wild animals come up to the fence. We will definitely come again.
We had a very nice stay. Everything was very clean and the unit was cleaned every day. The braai and especially the braai grill have been cleaned very well. Will only bring mosquito nets next time, because there are a lot of biting bugs.
The De Kleine Serengeti Game Lodge was a lovely weekend getaway.
Very nice stay. Got the best service, it's peaceful and you can shut down and have a good rest. Will definitely go again.
Most friendly welcome on arrival. Beautiful, clean, and neat. Plus, there is a swimming pool and restaurant on the premises. Game drive also available at the lodge was amazing. Will definitely be back.
The owner was so friendly and welcoming. Our wellbeing and enjoyment was her first priority! We will definitely be visiting again and we have already started recommending the place to friends and family!
Very relaxing and so much of nature to see. Exquisite location and very clean. Just what we needed to break away from busy work life. Thank you to the hosts for having such a great guest lodge.
Although the service was good and we had a nice stay, there were one or two things that bothered us. There is a terrible ant problem that is clearly not being addressed. We almost lost some of our food, but luckily found out in time to put everything away where the ants can't get to it. The build quality of the housing is also a bit neglected with roof beams that are loose on the roof, as well as the shower that does not drain properly and pools in the middle. The internet is also not reliable at all. The photos on the website are old and the yard is now fenced off, which dampened our expectations a little in relation to wildlife photography. Apart from the little things that bothered us, we received great service from the owners and staff, but unfortunately will not return due to the wild experience in Dinokeng. Dinokeng is just not worth it for wildlife lovers. The map is inaccurate and the wildlife advertised is not discernible. Kruger or Pilanesberg is by far a better choice.
My husband and I enjoyed it so much. The people are friendly and the natural beauty is incredible. We had a great stay and it was exactly what we needed in our busy lives. Worth it for sure.
Very nice stay. Place is very clean and quiet.
We had a great stay, thank you.
Thank you very much for the nice visit with you. The reception and service was great!
Very pleasant and friendly hosts, Pieter and Katryn.
Our stay was peaceful and so relaxing that we just had to extend our visit. The restaurant food was fantastic, and all the staff are amazing. Birdlife was superb. We'll definitely be back.
The housing is comfortable with all the necessary necessities to make your stay comfortable. We had a view of the pond where we could hear the frogs croaking through the night. There is a great variety of birds to see and you can hear them throughout the day. We could see wildlife around the boundaries of the property. The braai is conveniently located on the stoep area.
We got more than I expected, clean and tidy and the air conditioning was a lifesaver. Katryn was friendly and very helpful. The restaurant on site is very convenient, bacon and cheese pizza was well priced and delicious.
The best so far in Dinokeng. The place is outstanding. My words won't be enough to describe it. Thank you, Katryn and Oom Piet. I will definitely be coming back soon.
Katryn and her team are hospitable and friendly — we immediately felt at home. The rooms are beautiful and clean.
Neat, private place where we could just rest our souls and catch our breath! Thank you guys!
We were kindly received by Katryn. The unit is very neat and clean, and has everything needed. The breakfast at the restaurant was very nice. We had a great stay!
Tasteful accommodation surrounded by a relaxed, tidy, incredibly beautiful guest farm with very friendly management and staff.
Booked accommodation for my dad's 80th. They were made to feel like part of the family and Sam took exceptionally good care of them at breakfast. The food was delicious and the place was clean and well-maintained. They had such a wonderful time that they booked an extra night. Thank you, Katryn, for taking such good care of my family.
Lovely clean and tidy, quiet place. See the wild animals from the front porch, Katryn and Piet are very friendly people.
Very central, nice to stay there. Ideal for driving out in reserve.
We had a really great time. It was a fun and relaxing stay. Thanks.
The accommodation is well located and offers value for money. Our room was spacious, clean and tidy. Owners and staff are very hospitable and professional. The restaurant's food is top notch. We will definitely go there again.
Katryn is extremely friendly. The nicest, softest beds. Attention to small details like the elephant towels make it just that little bit more special. Thank you Katryn!
Piet and Katryn are 2 lovely people. The staff very friendly and helpful. We will definitely visit there again. The animals were beautiful, saw a lot. Many thanks to Piet and Katryn who were so helpful and treated us so kindly and with respect. It was a very pleasant week. Very nice place, very tidy and the chalet is great, everything is there and in its place. Thank you very much, Piet and Katryn.
This place is a gem. Clean and tidy facilities that are well equipped. Friendly and attentive staff. The owners are friendly and very pleasant people who go out of their way to make you feel welcome. We will definitely visit there again.
We were received hospitably and everything was neat and clean. Rooms have everything needed for a great weekend getaway. Animals are plentiful and you can sit on your porch and watch them come to drink water. The restaurant's food is delicious and the prices very reasonable. Would recommend the place anytime.
It was a necessary break.
We were kindly welcomed by the staff and owner. The place has a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere. The service is good and the staff are friendly and helpful. The restaurant with its outdoor seating under the trees is a plus. The small pond just outside the fence is nice for bird watching and you can hear the frogs in the evening. There are many animals to be seen around the fence early in the morning and at dusk.
We had a great stay at Kleine Serengeti, everything worked and the room was lovely. We enjoyed birding in Dinokeng and the peace and quiet.
We had a very nice stay, had a nice breakfast. Katryn, Piet and their staff are very friendly and helpful, we just stayed an extra night and will definitely visit again.
Everything was neat and clean every day. Comfortably furnished with everything needed. Unit three just needs a large spoon and a pair of sturdy tongs.
Very nice place. Friendly staff. Clean, tidy and safe. We will visit again.
Also missing tea and coffee pack on arrival. Not talking about load shedding in relation to TV and WiFi. Fix small things, because space is not cheap. Expect the basics.
The units are clean, tidy and beautiful. The owners are friendly, helpful and made us feel very welcome.
Beautiful accommodation and the hospitality makes you feel at home immediately.
Good, interesting and unique.
Was nice to get away from the hustle and bustle for a few days. Katryn was a very easy-going and friendly host.
Wow. Wow. Great service. Value for money. Hostess comes to greet us personally and collect from the car. Chalet is neat, clean and just what one needs to get out. Silence, rest and just the sounds around you. You don't need TV there! Place was served that we did not expect. Thank you! Will definitely come again.
The owners are very friendly and always willing to assist. Overall great place for a mini holiday.
Hagen the game warden gave a very informative knowledge about the nature/animal life during the Game Drive.
We had a great time at De Kleine Serengeti. On arrival there was no one to receive us. We didn't meet the owners until later in the day. The staff is also not one of the friendliest and doesn't really make you feel welcome. There is also no soap provided in the bathroom. The rooms inside are beautiful, but the layout is not great. The WiFi was also only available on the veranda, with no reception inside the rooms. The pool was not the cleanest either. The restaurant did have a delicious breakfast.
We stayed for a weekend at Unit 4 & 5 with friends. The units are clean, great facilities and in good condition. We also had the pleasure of seeing a Lion on the dirt road just at the entrance to the lodge. A wonderful weekend in all.
Nice comfortable rooms and kitchen equipped with everything you need.
My wife and I really enjoyed our time at Kleine Serengeti. The room was neat and comfortable, and we were kindly received. Breakfast at the restaurant was top notch. The environment is peaceful and relaxed. Wish we could have stayed longer! Will visit again for sure.
The Chalet has a queen size bed with a single bed and sofa bed and is fully equipped with DSTV. Braai facilities on the private stoep are very neat and are cleaned daily. The location is great, many animals visit the area. Katryn and Piet are an outstanding hostess and host. Rudie's field knowledge is very good.
All we needed in a visit.
A magnificent place to get away from the city. Situated not too far in the reserve, making it accessible and comfortable to reach if you arrive later in the evening. The owners, especially Katryn, make you always feel so welcome and appreciated. Beautiful people. The lodge has all the necessary comforts to make your stay magical. The game drive with Rudy was fantastic, fun-filled and educational. Thank you for a memorable weekend.
Fantastic service, very neat and clean accommodation and we will definitely visit again. It is so peaceful and we were blessed to be able to see the most beautiful animals right from our front porch. The breakfast is also something for the books! Very good value for money and very tasty. We were kept informed the whole time of when load shedding was and even offered an extra light. Really excellent service.
I was in the reserve for a few days, my first visit. It was nice to visit a game reserve with many animals so close to Pretoria.
Had a wonderful stay. Everything one need to recharge.
They were very impressed and would like to go again some time. Thank you .
Staff is friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean. Nice place to relax.
We stayed 2 nights. The photos on the web page are 100% true to how it looks. Wonderfully quiet and peaceful. Very clean and tidy. We will visit them again.
We had a lovely weekend. Everything that was needed in the unit. Peaceful atmosphere with animals grazing very close by. Ate very nice pizzas at the restaurant. Katryn was extremely hospitable and friendly. We will visit again.
Incredible gem in Dinokeng, with fantastic host and hostess. Lovely to sit on the veranda and look out over the grassy fields. Wild ride definitely recommended. As well as nice meals at the restaurant.
Rest well, sleep well.
What a wonderful reception and hospitality. Since I myself have a guest house, the eye is even more tuned. Our time was hopelessly short.
Will definitely visit there sometime. We felt so welcome.
Restaurant and accommodation highly recommended. Will go back again.
The lodge should only provide for candles during loadshedding - big problem.
Excellent customer service, very neat and clean. Everything we needed was there. Lovely game drives. Recommend the place any day. Thank you.
Friendly staff going out of their way to make you feel welcome. Our chalet was very comfortable and clean. We enjoyed good food at the restaurant. Good location with easy access to the self-drive routes. We will be back.
Hostess received us kindly. She was helpful. The unit is well equipped. We had a nice rest while there was load shedding.
Beautiful, neat chalets. Friendly service. Quiet and peaceful. Will definitely go again.
The fridge needs attention. The fridge door does not seal effectively (-above).
The was amazing and will definitely go back again.
My husband and I had a great stay. The units are neat and fully equipped. All that bothered me a little was the boiler that was started, full of lime. We expected a bit more privacy, the restaurant is right in front of our unit and the vehicles were passing by. Not the best place to go if you're looking for that quiet bush experience. But still we enjoyed the weekend and would recommend De Kleine Serengeti. Thank you for the good service.
The perfect place for city jays to bring body, soul and mind back together!
As last time, the accommodation was comfortable with everything needed.
Easter weekend very rainy. Some of the units are leaking. Hospitality very nice. Thought the game drive we would have used more of the private routes. At least saw lions.
Well equipped accommodation loved the covered braai area.
The unit is very modern, well located and very tidy.
Extremely friendly hosts Pieter and Katryn. Rudi the safari guide also very knowledgable and friendly.
Neat rooms and nice view.
Katryn is a super cute hostess!
The people are very hospitable, silence is a wonderful prospect, with only the sounds of the animals. The view is breathtaking. My husband and I really enjoyed our stay.
The best place to rest. Best hospitality and service.
A wonderful experience. Would love to do it again.
Our little boy really enjoyed it and we were able to have a nice walk on the premises with him. Their restaurant also makes very good food. We really enjoyed the weekend.
The accommodation is modern and is the ideal place for a quick getaway. The service is great and the staff friendly. Would definitely recommend it.
We really enjoyed the quiet weekend visit and congratulate Katryn and Piet on the beautiful units. All the best with your planned expansions.
Room was fantastic, grounds well kept, game ranger was knowledgeable and went out of his way to make the game drive fun. Owner was accommodating and friendly and the restaurant's food was amazing. Will be going back!
We had the most amazing stay, the staff, especially the owner Tannie Katryn were fantastic. The room was spotless and clean and we had no need of anything. The Dinokeng reserve is absolutely lovely and it is so great to have a big Five reserve in Gauteng. The game drive with Erik was fabulous with sightings of cheetah, giraffe, jakkal, zebra, impala and more. Erik made it so special with his insight and friendliness. We will return soon for certain.
Very well located. Staff are very friendly and helpful. I just slept a little uncomfortably. The mattress was very hard and I usually struggle with a double bed if you are not used to it. But to sum it all up, I definitely recommend De Kleine Serengeti. Had a delicious breakfast the Sunday morning before we left.
Location is excellent and the room was neat and clean, we really enjoyed it and even saw elephants next to the camp on the first night!
We had a great time at De Kleine Serengeti. The units are clean and tidy. Katryn made us feel very much at home. We will definitely go there again.
We had a great time at De kleine Serengeti. The owners are amazing people and made us feel extremely comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay and will come again.
Constant wildlife visible from porch, good food and very neat rooms.
Visited De Kleine Serengeti, it was very convenient for a quick getaway.
The unit is tidy and the rates fair. We were there during bad rainy weather and the only small thing was that the roof leaked, it didn't bother us much, we just moved our things away, but it later became a nagging problem when you wanted to use the bathroom. The co-owner apologized and informed us that the problem had been fixed before. It's very quiet, no loud music, excessive drinking is not allowed. It was particularly nice to be able to relax by the pool and see a lot of wildlife pass by every day in the late afternoon. The location is perfect, it's not too far from the Safari Mall or the main entrance and it's very safe. I recommend the place to anyone who might want to experience something different and just need a nice rest.
The reception by Uncle Piet, the atmosphere at the restaurant and the place as a whole are all top notch. We really enjoyed our time there. We were also pleased with the progress taking place at Dinokeng Game Reserve as a whole compared to 6 years ago when we were there for a one day "self drive" excursion. Well done to the management of Dinokeng. For such a young park, everything looks and functions quite well. We will use De Kleine Serengeti again for a quick getaway. He is close and convenient.
The chalet had everything we needed and was spotlessly clean. Great location, would definitely recommend it.
Reception was friendly. Rooms are spotless. We have been to De Kleine Serengeti Game Lodge before and we will visit there again.
It is a very nice and comfortable place to stay. Hammanskraal's music could be heard on Saturday afternoon and evening, but I believe if trees were planted around the site to break the sound it would be even better. We really enjoyed it and will definitely go back again.
The units are very clean and tidy. We had a very nice stay. The owners make you feel very welcome and go out of their way to make you feel at home and comfortable. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. We will go again for sure.
We stayed here for one night as a mid-week break. We really enjoyed it and the owners were incredibly hospitable and helpful. My only criticism was that we stayed right next to reception. In the sequel, we will instead request a unit that is away from the receiving unit. The unit was otherwise clean and tidy and very well equipped.
The photos are not clear. The residential units are a few meters from the restaurant garden where guests can look directly into your residential unit. Not what we expected.
The rooms may be a little close to each other for that quiet getaway in the woods. Our neighbors had been noisy and the room was full of ants in the kitchen. But the unit itself is very neat and has all the necessities. It is a terribly beautiful setting and the game drive was very interesting. The garden restaurant is also well priced with delicious food and the staff are very friendly.
We went to De Kleine Serengeti with our son who is 2. He had the best time. There was plenty of space for him to run around and roam free without us feeling any anxiety for his safety at all. The location is right in the bush, where giraffe visited multiple times, and a truly inviting pool that should definitely be enjoyed in warmer months. Eric - our guide - was an absolute pleasure to deal with - he also helped us in and around the lodge on a few occasions. All-in-all it was a nice, quiet family holiday at a relaxed venue.
Everything you need. Game runs up to the fence.
Peaceful and beautiful! Very nice and neat. The self-catering unit meets all requirements.
Quiet place worth developing further.
De Kleine Serengeti was lovely for a short break from the busy city. The unfortunate reality is that one has to incur additional costs in Dinokeng, which we considered part of the accommodation. The owners and workers were all friendly and helpful.
Self-catering unit is neat and clean with sufficient facilities.
Lodge did not expect us, we were not well received. Our fridge was hot, some of the cutlery was dirty.
Cottage was not cleaned on Saturday and no generator when loadshedding. Plus no WiFi.
Comfortable accommodation with a breathtaking view of the wildlife on your doorstep. Best service and value for money.
Will consider putting benches with shade by the fence in front of the pond so one can sit quietly and watch the wildlife
Very clean and tidy, peaceful atmosphere. Will go there again for sure.
We enjoyed our stay, and can recommend the game drive with Erick!
Top notch hospitality
Calm atmosphere and friendly people. Very welcome feeling and environment is beautiful.
One can view Dinokeng's wildlife from the campsite by the little pond, it is especially cute and convenient with children. The reception was very hospitable, friendly and accommodating. We would definitely recommend the place and would love to visit it again ourselves!
We spent the September 2020 long weekend there. Our hosts were amazing and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. Our chalet was clean and well equipped and the location absolutely wonderful. Every day we could sit quietly and watch the wildlife graze there. We were very impressed and will definitely go there again.
Wonderful mini honeymoon for us and game drive was wonderful as our guide would not give up until we saw loads of animals, he searched and found the baby rhino which was amazing!
De Kleine Serengeti is perfect for those who want a break within the Gauteng province - probably about 45 minutes' drive from Pretoria. The management is very helpful and friendly and has many big plans for the Lodge. I look forward to visiting De Kleine Serengeti again!
Perfectly located to either do the self drive, but I recommend the game drive with Eric. Definitely worth the money and your best chance to see some of the Big 5.
We had a lovely week-end. The chalet was lovely, very clean and well equipped. We will definitely be going back. The game drive was great and Eric was very knowledgeable and friendly. We will definitely be going back.
Unfortunately, our neighbors did not understand speaking softly and respecting others. Music was played and loud laughter unfortunately destroyed the ambiance. The bed also creaked terribly and the power went out intermittently throughout the night. Unfortunately, it cost a good night's rest. Furthermore, we really enjoyed it.
Upon our arrival, Katryn came to greet us and had a nice chat with us. She was very helpful and spontaneous. She told us about their new plans with the lodge and we trust that it will work out nicely for them. Everyone always greeted us kindly and asked if we needed anything. The accommodation was beautifully clean and tidy, the crockery was well equipped. Daisy was very helpful and friendly when she came to clean. It was a really great few days - it's very peaceful and quiet - we saw lots of animals grazing in the fields and heard the foxes and lions at night. I would definitely recommend De Kleine Serengeti. I will definitely go back again.
Enjoyed stay, game drive with Eric was special. Eric was very friendly, helpful. We will definitely go again.
De Kleine Serengeti conditionally offers value for money. We were surprised to find out the self-catering chalet had an aircon in it, it's the best thing they could have put in there. But we were more surprised that there was cleaning service every morning. We could really just rest and be lazy. Neat clean linen was available. Thanks to the owners for the hospitality.
Just an hour away from home. Beautiful area, accommodation was excellent, peaceful atmosphere, service was fantastic.
It's very easy to drive through the reserve yourself or you can do a game drive with the lodge. The people are very nice. There is a braai and fridge and stove, just not an oven. You can hear the foxes and other animals in the evening which gives a nice woodland feeling.
We really enjoyed the time we stayed there. I can recommend De Kleine Serengeti.
Maybe something for the future: Inform visitors in advance that you cannot leave the camp on foot. The kettle was out of order, but we were able to cope with a pot on the stove. It would be nice if this lodge can pay visitor's reserve fare (stamp on ticket) as with many other lodges.
Owner and his wife made us feel very much at home. The place is very nice and clean and has all the facilities for self-catering.
Breakfast was delicious. It was convenient to use it on site. Eric was awesome, and we were very grateful to see the lions on our game drive.
Will definitely go back! Great place to go with a group of friends.
Perfect place for a getaway. Chalets are exceptionally clean and well equipped. Lovely view out on the plain and dam; plenty of birds and animals came calling. Friendly staff and very good service. Enjoyed our game drive with Erik.
Very friendly people. Katryn and Oom Piet are great. Will definitely go back again. I asked Katryn if she could please arrange a picnic for me and she did it perfectly at a good price.
Very good value for money. Can definitely recommend a "game drive". We also saw 4 of the big 5 within 12 hours!
Nice place for a quick getaway.
I would suggest that it should be mentioned that guests must be out of the reserve's gates before 10:00, otherwise one pays a day visitor fee again.
Only an hours' drive from Johannesburg, so a nice quick breakaway to the bush. Would be prettier in spring or summer.
The host and hostess were friendly and helpful. It was a big disappointment that Dinokeng has so few animals. It was nice to be able to drive around on the owner's land.
Neat and has a good location near Pretoria.
The best place to be when you just want to get away from everything, infused with a good measure of wildlife and tranquility. Sadly no water in the dam, hence no birds as advertised. Piet and Katryn are welcoming hosts and the staff are super friendly. Thank you for a lovely stay.
Our stay was just too short, since you only get to be part of the wildlife and then you have to go back. It was a nice break from the city.
It's a plot with a few rooms, it's not a lodge. Very uncomfortable, hard bed and pillows. The pictures are very misleading. No privacy from neighbors or workers walking by all the time. Shower head is broken. Very flimsy patio table and chairs.
De Kleine Serengeti was booked as a nice weekend getaway, and the representation on the website that detached units are available confirmed our choice. Unfortunately, this is a misrepresentation. Units 5 and 6 are one building, so one could hear the neighbors in unit 5. On the contrary, there are no detached units available. There was also no Covid-19 protocol followed upon our arrival. The employee who was working with the angle grinder in front of our room on Friday afternoon was very disturbing. Accommodation is clean, but maybe the management could consider turning on the fridge before guests arrive. It took hours for the fridge to get cold, and on top of that it made so much noise that you couldn't sleep well. The lodge looks a bit like a construction site at the moment, and a lot of attention can be paid to the first impression guests get. Perhaps building materials can be stored in one place out of sight and areas under construction screened off. To sum up our experience in one word it would be nothing but disappointed.
The hospitality of Piet and Katryn was genuine and is a plus to go home there again. The accommodation is such that it can be recommended to visit De Kleine Serengeti. The advantage of sitting on your porch and admiring nature and animals is indescribable. Piet and Katryn will see us again.
Very nice place to relax amongst all the animals you see there daily. Would recommend it to anyone.
We enjoyed it thoroughly. Tranquil area, lovely view. First class service. We will definitely make a turn here again.
We decided at the last minute to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary somewhere quietly. Piet and Erik were the perfect hosts and we were not disappointed. The additions will ensure that this will become a top destination in Dinokeng. We were privileged to see so much wildlife at the dam. In the early evening the foxes announced the evening and just before we went to crawl in, a lion wished us good night with about three oomph noises. They will definitely see us again.
Very happy with the accommodation. Open area for my child with beautiful animals.
Beautiful and clean. Good hospitality and excellent service.
Great views on a large open plain where a herd of blue wildebeest graze. Friendly fantastic service. Willing to help out.
Uncle Piet and Aunt Katryn. What an experience to be able to stretch out at De Kleine Serengeti. We and our little one were welcomed with open arms and what a surprise to see how luxurious and tidy our unit was. The kitchen was fully equipped (at no time did we need anything that wasn't there). The unit is nicely finished and the location of the lodge is perfect. We will visit your place again and again. Even when we locked ourselves out of the unit, these 2 people helped us right away! No noise, although the lodge was fully booked. Thank you very much for a wonderful time.
Lovely getaway and very nice place. Good view of the game from the veranda.
Will definitely go again. Views are incredible and owners are very friendly. The place is very nice and clean and I will definitely visit again soon.
The place was clean and tidy, everything in the rooms one looks for and is good for one's soul. We look forward to going back and seeing what the future holds for De Kleine Serengeti Game Lodge.
The owners are incredibly friendly and hospitable and informed us of where we could go to see the lions. The accommodation was very neat and has everything you need and it is incredibly peaceful and you can see many animals from the veranda. Will definitely stay here again. Many thanks Oom Piet and "Aunt" Katryn.
A small piece of gold in Dinokeng. All the animals on your doorstep, the lions were on the plains before us. You will definitely see us again. Friendly people!
I would maybe recommend maybe a nice reception area as guests arrive at De Kleine but other than that the facilities are nice and modern. We had an awesome time!
Very friendly welcome by owner, incredible view over the field, especially with the animals wandering around you drinking water. Saw the Sunday lions right in front of us on the plain and the tour guide, Eric went out of his way to take us to them! The chalet has everything needed for comfort. Would definitely recommend for a peaceful getaway!
Little Serengeti is what the advertisement indicated. Ideally central location in Dinokeng. Views from the accommodation excellent. Highly recommended. Everything was clean and in order.
Nice view with different animals you can see in the open field.
We will definitely go again!
It was a very nice weekend. We were just a bit disapponted with the game, we didn't see much.
It's very peaceful relaxing on the veranda and watching the game on the plains.
Peaceful environment, friendly owners, look forward to witnessing expansion of the lodge.
Accommodation modern, comfortable. Saw a lot of animals. Large, open plain right in front of units. Game drive was excellent, guide went out of his way to show us rhinos.
Neat and clean with all the necessary facilities. No negative critique, only compliments.
I would recommend The Little Serengeti to any one, it's value for money!
Thanks for your friendly service, Oom Piet. We enjoyed it so much and stayed an extra night. Saw a lot of game. Will definitely go back to relax.
Will definitely go back and highly recommended. Outstanding.
Had a great stay, unit is well equipped with everything you need.
Value for money. We arrived after hours. The bedroom and bathroom are spacious and neat and clean. The location was ideal for our itinerary. We felt safe.
The units are very well equipped, very clean and is serviced daily. I will definitely stay there again next year and recommend it to parents who has to stay close to Camp Discovery for their children's' sport.
Very neat and clean room and facilities. The owner, Oom Piet, and the rest of the staff were very friendly and helpful. They still have major plans for improvement that will make it a very pleasant stay.
The accommodation was very neat and clean. Everything and more that one needs was in the unit and outside. Wildlife walks in front of the units and you can listen to sounds at night while you sit on the porch and have a barbecue. The hospitality was also very good.
We enjoyed the tranquillity at De Kleine Serengeti. Hopefully this can be maintained in the expansion programme. Management and staff were very helpful.
Uncle Piet and Eric made our visit worthwhile. Eric, who observes the game drives, has a special love for and knowledge of the animals, plants and birds. The amount of wildlife that can be observed from the porch is exceptional.
We only stayed 1 night after a wedding. Place was very neat and clean. Close to town ideal for a peaceful getaway.
The lodge is bordered by bush veld, and faces open Plains that always had wildebeest and zebra. We also watched ostriches, eland and blesbok grazing the area, and two really great jackal sightings on an early morning drive. The area is also great for birders, particularly beyond the little dam. The lodge is quite new and some surroundings aren't getting tended to, however our room was beautifully decorated and very spacious. The game drive offered by Piet is maybe amateur, but is still lovely especially if you did not arrive in a big vehicle. Really pleasant overall and what an absolutely lovely setting! Need to pay conservation fee at your own cost.
Overnight facilities very neat and clean. For the amount of R450 per person sharing (R900) just for sleeping is quite high. For foreign visitors it might be cheap, but for South Africans with full ID it might be made available at a cheaper rate.
Place is beautiful, not far from the main road, however the cleaning service can still be improved. The table outside was full of dust, there are cob webs on the veranda roof. The game viewing service can be better coordinated, we missed out on it, no effort was made to inform us of time or ranger contact so we could arrange directly with him. Overall its a beautiful place and the owner is super friendly.
Rooms spacious and clean, adequately equipped, facilities relatively new, quiet and peaceful. Really good value for money.
The chalets are really very beautifully and convenient. Perfect layout, spacious and very classy and fully equipped kitchen. The braai area with the porch is lovely. They are neat, and has a very nice view of the open bush with zebra, blue wildebeest and springbok's gracing throughout the day. However, we weren't greeted on arrival or departure, and the owner isn't exactly very forthcoming and friendly, their house is also very close the chalets and you almost feel like you are a bit too close to the main homestead. The pool is quite nice, just a pity about the concrete wall blocking the beautiful wall. The place is quite new and obviously still being renovated, looking forward to see what they will do with the rest of the property.
This resort can be highly recommended! Tips: With the temporary fly plague, they might consider supplying Doom in the units. Shade netting for the motor vehicles will be appreciated.
Ideal place to break away for a few days if you don't want to travel too far from the city. Rooms are neat and well equipped with everything you need. Looking forward to the pool they are building.
Cozy and well-equipped, got some great rest and enjoyed it.
We got a friendly welcome from the owner and game warden. The room was neat and clean and well equipped for all of our needs.
Beautiful, well-equipped room, serviced every day. Wonderful game drive and saw some game, even from the patio.
Please see the stars.
Will recommend this to anyone and we will definitely visit them again. Piet and Katryn's service was excellent and the chalets are beautiful.
Very nice and relaxing. Saw a lot of animals from our veranda. Not necessary to drive around to find game. New place and I will definitely go back to see the development.
Wonderful view of game from room.
