This place is simply incredible - The houses are nicely decorated, fully equipped and very comfortable! Leanne and Martha are both lovely and always helpful. We saw elephants, buffalos and hippos right from the deck on the premises. Even though you are not technically in the park (and don't pay the park fee each day unless you enter) you are right at its border and can see animals at the river just in front. We are very happy we found this place and would definitively like to come back. ##### Moritz ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diane Dec 6, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastic location, luxurious peaceful stay 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. ##### Diane Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ian Aug 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Kambuka River Lodge S.A 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 ##### Ian Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ryan Feb 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Ryan Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jan 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Harvey Dec 28, 2024 ##### Harvey Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### JEAN MICHEL Jan 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Hébergement de très haut niveau bien situé avec vue sur le fleuve crocodile river et le Kruger personnel parfait ainsi que la cuisine quatrième séjour réussi ##### JEAN MICHEL Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul Sep 5, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Paul Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### glendan Mar 9, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### glendan Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Johan Jun 1, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort It was Great!

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. ##### Kurt Stayed 1 night in Mar 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Mar 9, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Mar 2, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Feb 6, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The view was stunning.

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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Vulcan](https://www.expedia.ca/Vulcan-Hotels.d6260778.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotel Corona d'Oro](https://www.expedia.ca/Bologna-Hotels-Hotel-Corona-DOro.h48544.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard By Marriott Nanaimo](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanaimo-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Nanaimo.h91017280.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Omni-Orlando-Resort-At-ChampionsGate.h1029950.Hotel-Information) > > [Maldron Hotel Newlands Cross](https://www.expedia.ca/Dublin-Hotels-Maldron-Hotel-Newlands-Cross.h2191510.Hotel-Information) > > [The Residence at Vila Porto Mare](https://www.expedia.ca/Funchal-Hotels-The-Residence-At-Vila-Porto-Mare.h8034952.Hotel-Information) > > [Barceló Bávaro Palace - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Barcelo-Bavaro-Palace-All-Inclusive.h2438582.Hotel-Information) > > [Capri Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Capri-Inn.h2895885.Hotel-Information) > > [Morden Motor Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Pembina-Valley-Hotels-Morden-Motor-Inn.h38947527.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lodge Red Hook](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-The-Lodge-Red-Hook.h4494312.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Halifax](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels.d602873.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotel Marina El Cid Spa & Beach Resort All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-Hotel-Marina-El-Cid-Spa-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive.h1319425.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia Principe Grand Jamaica - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Bahia-Principe-Grand-Jamaica-All-Inclusive.h1576054.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Niagara-on-the-Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-On-The-Lake-Hotels.d8957.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Beijing (PEK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/pek/vancouver-to-beijing) > > [Flights from Charlotte (CLT) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/clt/yyz/charlotte-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Singapore (SIN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/sin/edmonton-to-singapore) > > [Flights from Kelowna (YLW) to Mexico City (MEX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ylw/mex/kelowna-to-mexico-city) > > [Flights from Barcelona (BCN) to Santiago de Compostela (SCQ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bcn/scq/barcelona-to-santiago-de-compostela) > > [Flights from Fargo (FAR) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/far/yyz/fargo-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to Sa Khu (HKT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/hkt/halifax-to-phuket) > > [Flights from Sidney (YYJ) to Ho Chi Minh City (SGN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyj/sgn/victoria-to-ho-chi-minh-city) > > [Flights from Guangzhou (CAN) to Osaka (KIX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/can/kix/guangzhou-to-osaka) ### Cars > [Car rentals in São Miguel Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Sao-Miguel-Island.d6051142.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [Car rentals in Aix-en-Provence](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Aix-En-Provence.d601680.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [National Car Rental Car Rentals In Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/National-Car-Rental-Car-Rentals-In-Montreal.d178288-c42.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Packages > [Canada Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Canada.d31.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Disneyland® Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Disneyland-Resort-Anaheim-Resort.d6025613.Vacation-Attraction)
