My husband and I spent 3 nights in Kambaku River Lodge, and we had a wonderful time.
The staff is very kind and welcoming.
A special thank you to Martha... read more who is an amazing cook, to Anzelle who coordinated all our safaris, and to Elvis with whom we did our morning safari and saw the Big Five!
Because the hotel is located alongside the Kruger National Park, we even saw animals from our hotel room (hippos and warthogs), and Leanne kindly texted us when the giraffes came out!
A truly unforgettable experience.

  Cannot fault this Lodge
Ambience, tranquility, location. Food and attention to detail given to the guests.
We had a wonderful time and will highly reccomend if for anyone one... read more who is looking for peace and closeness with nature

  Everything was exciting as anticipated. My imagination in anticipation of the visit was in overdrive. I wanted the animals that could be seen from the Lodge would be much-much closer.... read more Instead they looked like moving dots, separated from the lodge by a 50 yard with of water. I was very disappointed after we specifically chose our visit at the time year when 'prey' and predator were forced to drink at the same water supply. The lodge totally puts you in the Safari mood. The decor is one of a kind. The resident chefs were above excellent. The Driver Dennis, is a resident celebrity. He's guaranteed a good paying career if he would join my company in Los Angeles. Azanne is the hostess with the hostess for the owner Leanne who was gracious with vestiges of old school attitudes. For our group the end of July visit was the perfect time of year for pleasant weather and NO biters that fly. More

  The lodge is very well situated. The near distance to the Crocodile River guarantees a good view for all kinds of wildlife. We had a daytime safari to the nearby... read more Krüger Park. The guide was excellent and gave us the opportunity to see the Big Five in a day. Further trips nearby and even further away can be arranged by the landowners, who are very helpful and friendly and run a good service- team.
You get more than your money's worth!

  We had a wonderful visit to Kambaku over New Year. The lodge was beautiful, spotlessly clean and so serene in terms of surroundings. It is just 20 minutes drive to... read more Kruger National Park so perfect location to go on safari trips.

One of our highlights was the amazing homecooked food we had each night - set up private dining style outside our lodge. Wish we could have the same every night at home!

We also did a game drive with Elvis which was great and arranged seamlessly via the lodge.

Special thanks to Martha and Anzelle who are both fantastic at their jobs and so lovely.

  Can’t recommend Kambaku enough. We stayed in the Mafunyane room for two nights and had a fantastic time. The hotel organised us a sunset drive (via San Parks) as well... read more as a morning drive which were both amazing with the entrance to the Kruger just 30 min away. The service was consistently good and both dinner and breakfast were delicious.
We really enjoyed the activities as well as being able to relax in the pool or by the evening fire, just looking on the river and the hippos!
