Spoil yourself watching the big animals on the other side of the river (sometimes as close as a couple hundred meters) while sipping some great Cape sparkling or white from your private deck or from the observation deck. Awesome!

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

  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 !

  We stayed for three nights and loved it here. They had very good Covid procedures. We stayed in the honeymoon suite with its own plunge pool. Unfortunately... read more too cold to use in June. The room has everything you needed. I thought the prices were reasonable for level of service. The setting is wonderful and only 25 minutes away from the entrance to Kruger. Included meals were delicious. We had dinner and breakfast. We also did a morning game drive which was very nice and we were the only guests so it was a treat. I would highly recommend staying here. We drove ourselves around Kruger for one day and it was wonderful. More

Food: Our group had meals included in our package and it did not disappoint. The food was freshly prepared and delicious. When you ask for breakfast to be served at 9am it comes at 9am. Staff: The staff ensured that we had a phenomenal stay.

Game Drives: Elvis was the lead ranger on our game drive, and he delivered a top-notch experience. We saw all the big 5 and received all sorts of knowledge about animals that we did not know about. Elvis was constantly in touch with the other rangers in Kruger to ensure we were able to experience the best that Kruger had to offer. THANK YOU ELVIS! Location: The lodge is ideally situated on the Crocodile River where you were able to look into KNP. We saw some incredible sightings from the small viewing deck that was 100 meters from our front patio. You can whip out the binos and see elephants...

A lovely touch is the lighting of the fire prior to dinner & the drums beating to announce the imminent serving of dinner to your private dining area. This place is super special More
