“Receiving Two MICHELIN Keys is an incredible honour,” says General Manager Gavin Ferreira. “But what makes it meaningful is that it reflects the passion of our team and the spirit of the place we are privileged to share with our guests.”
The summer rains have reshaped the landscape of the Kruger, and with them, the way the park is experienced in this moment. From our vantage point on the bridge, we’ve been witnessing a season of resilience, collaboration, and extraordinary wildlife encounters unfold day by day.
