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

It's such a comfortable living space that we decided to not even go for game drives in the Kruger National Park, but instead to get up early and enjoy our coffee overlooking the Crocodile River from superbly designed little platforms along the bank of the riverbed. One morning a massive herd of over a hundred buffalo came to drink right in front of us!

We loved the fact that we could self-cater, but can also highly recommend their breakfasts, which were served at your room and were to die for!

We had a small inconvenient after leaving, they sent me a message asking if we took the hairdryer. Nothing serious, but perhaps you want to make sure your room is reviewed by one of the managers before departing. More
