Kambaku is the perfect place for a family relaxation. Easy acces to Kruger with the best trekker and the nicest service. Excellent food. The view from the private... read more pool across the river into Kruger will never stop amazing me.

If you’ve booked the early morning safari you’ll also get a packed lunch take. Everything has been though about in the rooms from the flasks and insulated water bottles to you have chilled water and hot coffee on your safaris. Adjustable shades on the terrace, evening lanterns and fire pits. It all makes for a very relaxing experience. Where you can unwind in your own space. If you’re wanting a big menu or Michelin star food every night in a formal setting then you won’t get this. What you will get is a hearty home cooked meal that is very tasty. It was great not to have to think about dinner or getting dressed up after a long day/early safari start. You just relax on your own terrace in front of the fire and listen for the drums to announce dinner is on its way. We did several tours with the lodges own Safari guide, Elvis. What a character he is and as someone who has grown up in Kruger and worked there for over 20 years, he makes for a great guide.

We did several tours with the lodges own Safari guide, Elvis. What a character he is and as someone who has grown up in Kruger and worked there for over 20 years, he makes for a great guide. It was a pleasure to spend several days in his company not only looking for animals (which he did in abundance including Lions & Leopards) but also hearing about his life and experiences whilst driving around.

Even though not technically in Kruger the river at the bottom of the lodge is the boundary line and the observation deck in the garden is a great spot to sit around the fire or with drink in the afternoon and lookout for passing by animals. We saw hippos and elephants, you can lay in bed and watch them on the river bank.

The team at Kambaku are basically a family and work great together. Everyone has known each other for years and knows exactly what needs doing and when. Everyone is so helpful, attentive and happy.

It was great to meet everyone at Kambaku (in particular Leanne and Martha who oversee it all and who check in with you daily to ensure you have everything you need) and share their lodge for the few days we had. We were truly relaxed when we left with ever lasting fond memories.

Thank you to everyone at Kambaku, we couldn’t have asked for a better start to our holiday or first experience of South Africa. More

  All I can say is WOW ! This lodge is awesome from the friendly staff to the most amazing view across the river and beyond, there were so many animals... read more to see Elephants, hippos, giraffes, buffalo herd, warthogs, impalas, crocs and many birds if your a twitcher...!

The service and food are excellent and served on your terrace and fire lit each night by Dennis who is a laugh a minute.

Elvis was our safari guide in the Kruger booked via the lodge, he was amazing and knew all the great places to spot animals and made the journey fun ! Highly recommend the trip with him first then you can self drive after.

Sorry to leave but have jobs to return to to save up for next time.

#Loved it !

  Where do we begin. When we checked in, our first words were “we should have come here earlier and stayed longer” without even seeing or experiencing the lodge. This is... read more how we felt the moment we walked it and greeted by Leanne. The warm welcome smile and greeting by Leanne, the decor, the views the location just everything was soooooo amazing.

Martha and her team, Dennis and his team and Elvis our Safari tour guide was just amazing. They all made us feel special and greeted us with a smile each time they saw us. Setting up our fire pit, dinner and breakfast service, even the gardeners walked by with a big smile and welcomed us again. They all seemed so happy to be there as well. The hospitality was just above expectations.

Dinners on the patio watching and hearing the hippos talking to each other. The elephants who came to greet us and played in the river. Wow oh wow.

Thank you for making us leave with a tear in our eyes Leanne and your staff. It is tears of happiness and memories that would stay with us forever. Everything was just perfect. It was much more then what we expected. It exceeded our expectations.

Until we meet again
