  We had a great 2-Night-Stay at Kambaku. Anzelle and her collegues have done a great job. Booking the dinner is worth it and easy. Served on your own terrace with... read more a fire. Made also the 7 hour Safari to Kruger with Elvis which was great.

  We expected the best and got so much more, we found a little piece of paradise! We wll always remember the stunning view over the crocodile river and all the... read more wild animals we spotted from our terrace. We loved observing the hippos, the elephants and all the other beautiful animals and we absolutely enjoyed the unique sound of wildlife! We really enjoyed every single second!
A very big thanks to Elvis, both game drives with you were an incredible and exciting experience!
Thank you so much Leanne and Anzelle for all your support and service (Anzelle, your fillet is world class). You and your team are doing an excellent job!

  Absolute perfection! Kambaku is a true slice of heaven on earth. From the moment of our arrival to when we sadly had to leave we had the most wonderful stay.... read more The location is totally stunning, set directly on the Crocodile River looking across into Kruger National Park. Talk about wow factor! The wildlife (safely) on your doorstep is beyond description... loads of elephants, hippos, crocodiles, buffalo, baboons, warthogs, antelopes, and one night even lions! And that's just to name a few. What makes it even more special is the staff, who are all extremely friendly and attentive, looking after your every want and need. The rooms are lovingly designed and extremely comfortable. Outside, the gardens are just gorgeous! The landscaping is really something special. Also worth noting, we spent 3 days at Kambaku leaving only once for a game drive (awesome!), so we were able to enjoy several home-cooked meals, all of which were delicious! We so enjoyed spending each evening outside of our suite, relaxing around our very own wood fire, with the symphony of hippos as our soundtrack. I never wanted to leave and very much look forward to returning someday! Thank you to Leanne, Martha, Dennis, Anzelle, Elvis, and all the rest for making our stay so beautiful, relaxing, and above all else memorable! More

  We spent the last two nights of our holiday in Kambaku after 3 days self drive in the Kruger. What a good choice! Our room was very private, with excellent... read more faculties and spotlessly clean. We had a private dip pool which was fantastic in the heat. Tea, coffee and a cool water dispenser were very welcome. There is a small kitchenette, though we never used it. The real treat, though, is the outside area where we had armchairs, sunloungers and a large umbrella, dining table and chairs and a wonderful bird table where we spent hours watching the constant scramble for seed and the hilarious attempts of the ‘boss’ bird to scare away all his rivals. There is no restaurant at Kambaku so breakfast and dinner are served on the terrace outside your room. Breakfast is huge; fruit, yoghurt, juice and a choose of full English or an omelette (make your own coffee). A fire is lit at night and a two course meal served if you order it. We ate in both nights as we didn’t fancy driving out - we like a glass of wine with dinner! Drinks can be ordered and again, delivered to your room. Make sure you are on WhatsApp as that’s the easiest way to contact staff. The greatest memory though will be sitting on the observation deck looking across Crocodile River (aptly named) into the Kruger. We saw elephants, giraffe, hippos, crocs, warthog,...

The greatest memory though will be sitting on the observation deck looking across Crocodile River (aptly named) into the Kruger. We saw elephants, giraffe, hippos, crocs, warthog, nyala and impala without moving from our seat. Fabulous! Our thanks to all the staff and looking forward to another visit. More
