We had a wonderful stay at Zebras Crossing. Service couldn’t be better. Surroundings and decoration af the lodge are beautiful. Very nice African landscapes. No big five, but you can see wild animals and the excursions are very good. Special thanks to Gildo! We can very much recommend this lodge!

My husband and I booked a weekend getaway at Zebras Crossing and enjoyed the luxurious accomodations and gorgeous setting. The lodge is all inclusive and offered a wonderful selection of house wines. Our only complaint was that we didn't realize the game drives and guided tours were also part of the package. The staff was very friendly but did not always communicate well. That said we took a great hike around the property and were very happy with the quality of the trails and abundance of wildlife on the property. The lodge is a easy drive from Pretoria, so it's a perfect spot for a couples weekend away.

We had a blast! This stay was simply an amazing one! We got a very warm welcome by the team and the house was very spacious and super clean! The staff took immediately care of us and we were pampered with delicious food. You should enjoy the game drives, there might not be so many different animals like in Krueger but our guide was great and spotted so many anyway. Take your swim stuff, it’s worth it (not ruining the surprise!) Food is prepared by the chef with dedication and tastes simply great. Size of portions is more than sufficient. The ambiance of the entire place is very nice and cozy. Enjoy a swim in the pool or watch ostriches, zebras and antelopes while having a glass of local wine on the terrace. We can definitely recommend this place to everyone!

A wonderful start of our two-location holiday (see Elephant' Crossing Review) and a very relaxing one too! The lodge is lovely and the rooms very spacious and clean however it was the wonderful team that made our stay so enjoyable and of course the lovely food, and drinks choice! It was just great sitting and watching the animals walk by at night time and not many people can say they have lunched with Zebras looking on! As it is not a "Big 5" resort, the great thing about Zebra's Crossing is that you can also walk within the reserve as well as doing game drives. I should not single out any one person out however Promise ensured we had a brilliant time whether on foot or in the jeep. He took us on some fantastic game drives and hikes to some memorable locations which took our breath away. We had some great animal sightings, including seeing an ostrich laying an egg! We would thoroughly recommend this Zebras Crossing for a gentle safari experience and is ideal for those who would also like the option to spend time relaxing around the lodge and / or pool. …

What an experience, what a great holyday never to forget! Especially the combination of both the game reserves (Zebra's crossing and Elephants crossing) makes it spectacular and extaordinary. Furthermore the food is outstanding as is the hospitality of the staff. We therefore highly recommend a stay at these beautiful, luxury and welcoming lodges!

Very relaxing and beautiful lodge with very friendly staff. Food is outstanding, simple and very tasty. Unfortunately we did not see many animals during game drives and walking, but having the zebras and ostriches walk into the lodge compensated for this. Go to different lodge for the big five.

What a beautiful and tranquil lodge. Conveniently located in the Waterberg area with fantastic views. Upon our arrival, we were welcomed by the amazing team at Zebras Crossing. The lodge and rooms are extremely spacious and comfortable. The cuisine was absolutely superb with compliments to the chef Nesta. The views are amazing and the resident animals make this lodge extra special with a great pool and relaxing area. The game drive was excellent with a visit to the rock pools and waterfalls. The service was outstanding from everyone in the team. Special thanks to Tjis for ensuring we were well taken care. We truly enjoyed our stay and would return. I highly recommend a visit to Zebras Crossing lodge.

Promise and his team make this a stay to remember. Beautiful location, excellent food and the visits of the zebras, ostrich and giraffes make it extra special. Hiking trails are available and well indicated. Just sit back, relax and enjoy.

This was our first stay on our holiday and we couldn’t have made a better decision. After 5 days staying here in combination with a short stay at Elephants Crossing we felt like being on holiday for weeks. We will definitely be staying here again! Thanks to all the great staff and the game drives by Promise!
