We stayed there in December of 2008 and it was great! Albert and his infamous apperetiffs at 7pm on the dot were excelent! Dinner cooked by Hennilein, his lovely wife, was also very delicious. Nice pool and nice view from the edge of the hill onto the valley!

Conveniently located near all the Blyde river canyon attractions and some 'boer' settlements, the iketla lodge is a nice location to rent a cottage. Ask for one of the cottages with a view. Dinner is included and very tasteful, the hosts are friendly in a professional way. From here, you can drive around the canyon for a day, see all... More

We stayed 3 nights in early April and found the Lodge very relaxing and well appointed. The location is perfect for the Panorma Route and the Blyde River Canyon. The hosts were very welcoming and informative. We found the evening meal nothing extra special, but perfectly acceptable. Good overall value for money. Would recommend Monsoon on the R527 as a...

We had planned to arrive at the lodge in the late afternoon but because our train to Johannesburg was 6 hours late we did not get to the lodge until 11pm. We had asked if they could leave a sandwich for us and were apologetic for keeping staff up. We were told not to worry and arrived to a terrific... More

After a long drive from Johannesburg arriving at Iketla was like entering another world, having been greeted by Albert and given a much needed drink, we were shown to our thatched chalet overlooking some beautiful countryside, with a waterhole situated below us. Taking a shower in the open air was just the start of a wonderful few days relaxing and... More

From the moment you drive into the shaded carpark, you are treated in a warm and welcoming manner which continues throughout your stay. Iketla is wonderfully situated for those wanting to do the Panorama Route, which makes for a beautiful drive either on your way into or out of Kruger. Rather than stay in one of the towns, we were...
