Worst ever .. simply dont go
Place was terrible left after 2 days of a 6 day booking
I would recommend the lodge for private travel or a vacation but not for business travel. The mobile signal was terrible and the wifi did not reach the room I was in. It would be great if I wanted some alone time without any disturbances as I was unreachable during my time there.
The best place to hide out and restore the spirit. The stuff is AMAZNING...he attended to us like we were the only guests.... I Loved their spirit, attitude and how the showed care...

Great weekend get away!
Saturday game drive (although limited wildlife) and bbq buffet was great!
We had a really great stay. Ditholo is beautifully situated. We loved how quiet and beautiful it was! The staff was super friendly and the food delicious. Were super happy with our stay and we would definitely recommend it.
Also, if you are an allergic person such as myself, it is a great place. Staff was so helpful and accommodating. From a allergy perspective they got the highest score possible.

Friendly staff but poor access
The hotel was good and the staff friendly. Guests should be warned about the terrible access road of over 30 minutes rough driving.
The staff was incredible! Lebo deserves a special mention - thank you for your help!
Ditholo could not have been more accommodating to our needs.
We were slightly let down by limited game viewing, but the lodge itself was amazing and we really enjoyed spending time up on the viewing deck. Local hippos were a great plus!
Food was local but lekker!
This is a great location to get out of the urban nightmare of Jo'burg and Pretoria and acclimatize from your flight. The staff is awesome as is the ambiance. Superb. If a dirt road puts you off, stay in town.
