Our three-night stay at Kambaku River Lodge was nothing short of unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and hospitality from Garry that immediately set the tone for the entire experience. The lodge itself is beautifully designed, blending comfort with an authentic safari atmosphere. Our room was spacious, impeccably clean, and offered stunning views of Kruger National Park and the Crocodile River. We shared the outside space with a few nyalas who took little notice of us! Waking up to the sounds of nature each morning was truly special. What made the stay exceptional, however, was the incredible safari experience. The game drives were expertly guided, with Elvis, our knowledgeable ranger who went above and beyond to ensure we saw as much wildlife as possible while also educating us about the ecosystem. Both drives felt unique and exciting. The food was another highlight — consistently delicious, delivered to us by drumbeat, thoughtfully prepared, and enjoyed in a relaxed, scenic setting with a log burner adding to the special atmosphere. Dining under the stars added a magical touch to the evenings. Most of all, the staff made this trip memorable. Their attentiveness, friendliness, and passion for what they do created a welcoming and personal atmosphere throughout our stay. We left feeling relaxed, inspired, and already planning a return visit. Kambaku River Lodge is truly a special place, and we couldn’t recommend it more highly.

From the second that Dennys picked us up, it was just like Home. Awesome Guy. The Food was Stunning, the Installations were Flawless and the Elephants, Giraffes and Hippos accross the river was amazing. The owner/manager was super friendly and our Safari Driver Elvis Was unbelievable funny and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

De locatie is in 1 woord geweldig: ons huisje kwam uit op de grote tuin die aan de Crocodile river grenst. Wij hebben meerdere keren olifanten zien oversteken en nijlpaarden en andere dieren aan de overkant gezien. Het huisje is mooi ingericht, alles is aanwezig en het personeel is heel vriendelijk en op service gericht. En het eten was ook nog eens heerlijk. Kortom: wij komen graag nog een keer terug!

The location is wonderful with game regularly visiting the river from the Kruger opposite. When we arrived, about a dozen elephant were wading across and hippo were wallowing. The rooms each have their own private terraces where fires are lit each night, and open up into a lovely common area where birds and the 3 incumbent nyala are encouraged. Meals are served on your terrace, ask if you want tea or coffee delivered with breakfast rather than make your own from the room tray. Rooms are comfortable, it's about 15min drive to Melelane gate.

We stayed at Kambuka 30th July for 3 Nights celebrating our 30 year anniversary and can honestly say this Lodge is worth every one of its 5 Stars - its Pure Luxury. The Location, service, food, staff, rooms and grounds are Truly Exceptional. The WOW factor you get as you enter the lodge is one that will remain with us for years to come, Likewise the room is probably the best room we have ever stayed in. We also went on a game drive in Kruger with Elvis 'The Driver' and again this exceeded all our expectations The elephants, crocodiles and Hippos were regular visitors to Kambuka Lodge - Literally came up to the lodges viewing platform and this is a sight to behold. That personal touch you receive from all staff is one that sets this lodge aside from others Honestly this lodge is wonderful and one we will absolutely be returning to. You have to see this Lodge to believe luxury of this quality exists Thank you so much Kambuka for a wonderful stay Ian and Katrina - UK

A really beautiful place. We felt very welcome from the first minute. Breakfast and dinner are served on your own terrace. Everything tasted great. The fire in the fire bowl made the dinner very atmospheric. Unfortunately we didn't have time to go on a safari. We would love to come back.

Absolutely fantastic. A beautifully designed, maintained and serviced property on the banks of the Crocodile River, running along the southern boundary of the stunning Kruger National Park. Leanne and her delightful team provide a first class service, complete tranquility and privacy. Food served in your private residence is delicious and plentiful, rooms and grounds are immaculate. We spent 2 nights here and one day lounging in our private pool, watching buffalo, hippo, deer and unidentified animals drinking and playing in the river all day. A truly fantastic place that I recommend without hesitation.

It was a treat to stay at Kambaku River Lodge. The ritual for breakfast and dinner is very special, with food arriving to the beat of a drum, a fire pit blazing and a lantern lit table, on your patio. The food was excellent and the fillet steak to die for...melt in your mouth. We were lucky to see hippos in the river and another day a herd of elephants. We also spotted a buffalo, kudu and a family of warthogs as well as the usual herd of impalas that graze each day. The viewing platforms are terrific, with comfortable camp chairs and umbrella. Safaris into Kruger National Park are available if you wish to venture further than this piece of paradise. Bird feeders on the lawn attract all sorts of colourful birds with characteristics to amaze. We had the honeymoon suite with its private dipping pool. The kitchen is well equipped. Beds very comfortable and luxurious.

Our stay at Kambaku was absolutely magnificent! Leanne and her wonderful staff kept this place pristine and catered to all of our needs. We loved the food, the wine, the grounds, the friends we made, and of course mother nature. Stay here!

For anyone with an interest in wildlife this is a must, a real gem with a wonderful owner and lovely staff who give you a fantastic reception. Nothing is too much trouble and everyone is so friendly. If you do not want to go into the Krugar all the time you can see plenty of wildlife sitting in the garden. A place you will always want to go back to.
