Kambaku River Lodge
About the 5-Star Lodge at The Kruger Park
Kambaku River Lodge is a privately owned, five-star safari lodge set on the banks of the Crocodile River, directly overlooking the Kruger National Park. Just minutes from the town of Malalane and the Malalane Gate, this exclusive lodge offers guests unparalleled access to one of Africa’s premier wildlife destinations.

“The lodge is named after ‘Kambaku’, one of the legendary Magnificent Seven Big Tusker elephants.”
Whether relaxing next to the pool or scanning the Park from the viewing decks, the location provides the perfect setting for the abundance of animals and birdlife it has on offer. The lodge offers an array of spa services at its own Dzombo Spa that can be enjoyed in the privacy of the designated onsite spa, giving relaxation and rejuvenation after a day of exploration.

Kambaku prides itself on providing an exceptional culinary experience that reflects
the rich quality produce and traditions of South Africa. The 'home-cooked' cuisine is crafted with care and creativity, using fresh and local ingredients.

PlanBee Honey
Tim & Anny Van Stormbroek are the ones in the suits getting stung to preserve our partner's in Agriculture (Our Bees.)
Besides working sustainably with bees, pollinating farmer's crops and providing pure unadulterated honey, we have been formulating a plan to help keep the Kruger Park's fence and trees from being tampered with by elephants. This also keeps our elephant friends safe in the Kruger Park.
