    I loved how comfortable,peaceful and clean the property is. The location is really convenient. Close to Malelane CBD and also located on the Crocodile river. Once you enter the gates of the lodge it doesn’t even feel like you’re so close to town.

    The accommodation is good, clean and comfortable but the real stars of Boulders Safari Lodge are their staff and service. Nothing is too much effort for them, they will go out of their way to assist. The food and atmosphere at night was also great, we ate so well, thank you!

    River House Lodge is a really beautiful hotel in the banks of the river. Amazing deck that you can relax and watch all the animals that come and go. You can even skip a safari game and stay there to relax. You will see many many animals The room we had is a very big double room with a small balcony that has river view. Cause we were leaving very early in the morning i dont know how is the normal breakfast (we were taking a breakfast box that was ok) and a tastful dinner Highly recommended

    I was lucky enough to be upgraded to a room in the "Lions" lodges, facing the river (Thank you the Pestana Kruger Lodge and Genius 3 status). A herd of elephants crossed the river and came to eat under my balcony. Then we had dinner on the restaurant deck outside, in the dark, with the herd below and the sounds of the birds. An incredible location. Food from the buffet was excellent and as I left very early the next day, instead of breakfast I was given a full takeaway breakfast / lunch pack. All in all, an incredible stay!

    If Booking.com would offer to give more than 10 points for super extraordinary lodges than we would give here 12 points. Kambaku River Lodge is for a stay close to the Kruger Park just perfect. We spent 5 beatiful nights with delicious breakfast, dinner and wild animals just passing in front. We recommend also to book Kambakus Safari with most experienced Kruger driver.

    Hidden away in the hills outside Malelane is this fantiastic gem, surrounded by a forest and a rapidly flowing river add to the allure of this great spot. The lodges amongst the canopy are very tranquil.
