An easy commute from Nelspruit airport and an easy trek back to Jo'Burg (4 hours) if you need to fly back home abroad.

Leeane and the team will ensure you have an incredible stay during your time at Kambaku River Lodge. Thank you again for an incredible experience! More

If you are looking... read more for a place to stay near the Kruger look no further this place is amazing. You can just stay in the garden if you are feeling lazy and view the amazing wildlife from there. We even saw lions just across from the fantastic viewing deck walking along the river bank. The rooms are modern, clean and very comfortable lacking nothing. The owners and staff could not make you feel more welcome. We will be going back again as soon as we can and I just can't stop wishing we were back there. More
