Owned and personally hosted by Tony and Leanne Santana, the lodge is named after ‘Kambaku’, one of the legendary Magnificent Seven Big Tusker elephants, reflecting its deep connection to the heritage and grandeur of the Kruger.

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.

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.
