Guest review
10.0Die Kambaku River Lodge hat unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Der Manager hat uns sogar ein kostenloses Upgrade auf das Mainhouse gegeben. Das Haus und der Garten sind überwältigend. Jeden Abend kommen die Elefanten auf unsere Flussseite. Das Personal ist superfreundlich und diskret.
− Das wir wieder von dort weg mussten
Absolutely Breathtaking!!!
10.0We had the most incredible stay at Kambaku River Lodge! My husband and I first came for our honeymoon and loved it so much that we returned for our second anniversary. The staff are amazing, and Leanne, the owner, is truly phenomenal. A big thank you to Dennis and Gary for making our stay so special. And a special shoutout to Elvis, our game driver-his professionalism and knowledge are unmatched. We were lucky enough to see the Big 5 in one day! The food is incredible, the accommodation is beautiful, and the views over the Crocodile River are breathtaking. A truly sensational, boutique experience right by Malelane Gate. We will definitely be back!
Fantastic place to stay
10.0This lodge is fantastic overall and the food is outstanding! Just about the best lamb chops and steak we’ve ever had anywhere! Ordering on their app was super easy. Location is great as it sits on the crocodile river and animals (hippos, elephants, impalas) came to drink. Note that it is not close any “town” so plan to stay at the lodge. They do arrange game drives into Kruger. Airport transfers (50 min away) are also available. Friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend this lodge if you’re in that area.
