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.

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

Dear Johan I would like to thank you for taking the time to give us a review and we are glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. I note your comment of being clear and will certainly look into this. I would like to point out that when you book on Expeida it gives you the options that you can choose from for example self catering or Bed and breakfast. We also sent you a letter on the 10th of May which explains that you are welcome to book meals with us should you so wish. See the point below. All units are equipped to self cater except for Ndlulamithi, however you may choose to book breakfast and dinner with us if you have not booked them. Please be so kind to give US A DAYS WARNING should you wish to book any meals with us, as we serve a lodge menu for the day and buy fresh produce each day. We would also appreciate you mentioning any dietary requirements, such as vegetarian etc. so we can cater accordingly, to avoid disappointment. Warm regards Leanne and the Kambaku River Lodge team.

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.

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.

Great Location for Kruger National Park
I was visiting Kruger National Park and Kambaku River Lodge was perfect. While the website described it as a hotel room it was really more like having my own house, or at least half of a house. It had a kitchen, large bedroom, and huge sliding doors that opened to a view of the park. Each night the staff would come and lit a fire and lanterns for each unit. There was also a viewing platform where you could sit and watch for animals. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Meals were available and they also offered assistance with booking tours and restaurant recommendations. Instead of booking a safari I rented a car so I could drive through the park myself. This worked extremely well because I could stay in the park as long as I wanted and wasn't confined to a single lodge. Kambaku River Lodge is near the Malelane gate so this worked extremely well.

のんびりするにはぴったりの場所
プール付のお部屋に2泊滞在しました。 ロッジの部屋から見える川にはカバやウォーターボックなどの動物が見られ、椅子に座ってのんびりするだけでも最高の時間でした！ クルーガーは今回が初めてでしたが、チェックイン時にゲームドライブに参加したいと伝えると、翌朝のロッジ主催のゲームドライブをブッキングしてくれました。 しかし、朝のゲームドライブ後に夜も参加したいと伝えるとフルブッキングだったので、予定が決まっている方は事前に予約した方が良さそうです。 朝食は朝のゲームドライブに行く場合、パックして前日の夜に渡してもらえます。 朝食、ディナーともにボリュームもちょうど良く、美味しかったです！ ただ、配膳してくれる方に英語がたまに通じなかったり、スタッフのサービスにばらつきがあるように感じました。 全体的にはお部屋、プールも綺麗で、心地の良い滞在でした。

Show de Horror! Nunca passei tanto nervoso!
Parecia filme de terror! Reservei esse hotel para passar minha lua de mel e foi um show de horror! Vou descrever algumas coisas pelas quais passei. 1)Longe de tudo: o hotel fica há proximadamente 40 minutos do aeroporto internacional do Kruger. Você precisa pegar uma estrada de terra, passar por umas fazendas para chegar no hotel. Super afastado de tudo! Por ser uma cidade pequena não há taxis e nem uber, somente transfers que custam caríssimo! SE VOCÊS NÃO FOREM ALUGAR CARRO, NEM VENHAM! 2) ME COBRARAM POR UM SAFARI QUE NÃO FIZ! Teve um dia que nós queríamos marcar um safari e pedimos para a dona do hotel agendar. A resposta dela foi que ela já tinha agendado. Como que ela agenda antes de nós pedirmos? Super estranho! Depois desta resposta dela, perguntei se aceitavam o cartão American Express e ela disse que não. Diante dessa resposta eu falei pra ela que então precisava cancelar o safari pois eu não tinha outro cartão, nem uma quantidade grande de dinheiro vivo para pagar safari + hotel. A resposta dela foi: Infelizmente eu já reservei e agora vocês vão ter que pagar! E ainda me disse que se eu quisesse ela me levava no banco pra sacar dinheiro! Como assim??? Eu cancelei com umas 10 horas de antecedência! ! E como que ela me marca um safari antes mesmo de eu pedir? 3) No hotel não servem almoço! Passei fome! Funcionários mal educados! Lugar longe de tudo! Não tem taxi nem uber na cidade! HORRIVEL

Giovanna I am really concerned with regards to certain comments and allegations that you have made. We are off the tar road only 1.3 kilometres to reach the lodge. Unfortunately Leopard, Lions, Elephants etc don’t live in the city , they live in the bush and that is the prime reason for our location right on the banks of the Crocodile River away from the hustle and bustle of town, close to their natural habitat. Your comment that I scheduled your safari before you asked is totally untrue. I have your message to me on my phone where you asked to cancel your safari at 9 o clock at night / 2100 hours at night after your request in the afternoon for us to book a safari for you - paid the sunrise entrance fee on your behalf which would have to have been done before their office closed. - what were you cancelling if you never booked anything with us. You were not charged for the safari in full at all but merely the entrance fee that we had already paid. Unfortunately we don’t accept American Express cards and I told you not to stress you could pay me when you got home. Not sure what is rude or ugly about offering to allow a guest to leave the premises without having paid and giving her the options to pay the balance that was owed when you returned home. We also offered to take you to town to draw cash if your card was not able to go through. Offered as a service certainly not to offend you. You arrived at the lodge at 10.30 in the morning when check in time is infact 2.30 and we took you straight to you suite. My gentleman even took you to town. Unfortunately we serve light lunch as the main meal is served at night which you were not happy about - I can only apologise . On the last night you said you did not want to have dinner with us as you were not hungry. We have a high score from many guest 9.7 for service and hospitalit

本当に快適な宿！
クルーガー国立公園とは川を挟んで対岸に位置する広大な敷地に点在する、２棟式のコテージ。 部屋は広く解放的で、ディナーは外の半野外空間でサバンナの空気を感じながら取ることができる。 夜は一部屋一部屋に篝火を焚いてくれて、古きアフリカンサファリの気分。 コーヒーを片手に目の前の雄大な景色を見ることができる、至福の時を過ごすことができた。 この宿にはフロントがなく、到着とチェックアウトの時には直接部屋で行う。 HPにはチェックイン時間が１８時までとなっているが、連絡しておけば大丈夫。 チェックアウトも臨機応変に対応してくれ、ゲストの利便性を第一に考えてくれるホスピタリティは素晴らしい。全員が評価１０をつけるのには本当に納得の宿だった。 次には一週間くらい、何もせずに滞在してみたい。 自炊設備があるが、夕食も出してくれる。前もって確認すると良い。 ネルスプロイト空港への送迎や、各種エクスカーションも手配してくれる。 余談だが、サファリはレンタカーを借りて自分で周っても良いが、ガイド同士で動物の目撃情報を交換して連れて行ってくれるので、ガイド付きツアーをオススメする。

Am Crocodile River
Super Unterkunft zum Start unserer SA Reise. Hatten die Shingwedzin River Suite, war die einzige die etwas zurückgesetzt war zu den anderen Suiten im Verhältnis zum Flussufer. Dadurch Blick etwas eingeschränkt aber nicht störend. Lage ist genial, dirket am Fluss. Je nach Glück können bis 200 Buffalo stehen, oder Elefanten, Hippos (die auch immer zu hören sind), Antilopen etc. Man kann den ganzen Tag Tiere beobachten. Die Suite war sehr liebevoll ausgesttatet, wer auf old colonial style steht kommt voll auf seine Kosten, wer es schlicht modern mag, wird es akzeptieren, tolle Betten.Super Gastgeber und Staff Ladys die einen jeden Morgen auf der eigenen Terrasse ein super Frühstück nach Wunsch auftischen. Ach übrigens Eingang Malelane Krüger NP liegt nur ganz wenige km entfernt.

Traumhafte Lodge direkt an der Grenze zum Kruger
Wenn man beim Frühstück von der eigenen Terrasse bereits Elefanten und Hippos beobachten kann, dann ist es einfach unbeschreiblich. Eine traumhafte Anlage, herzliche Gastgeber, einfach perfekt vom Service und dem Ambiente!

Als in een filmdecor gelegen lodge.
De lodge ligt aan de krokodilrivier. Aan de overkant is het Krugerpark. Het uitzicht op de olifanten, nijlpaarden, buffels enz. Is prachtig. In de grote tuin krioelt het van de vogels. De staf is zeer zorgzaam en de maaltijden zijn prima verzorgd. Kortom, beter dan deze lodge zul je niet snel vinden.

Lodge mit Sicht auf Hippos, Buffalos, Elefanten us
Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt im Honeymoon-Zimmer mit eigenem kleinem Pool. Von der Unterkunft aus haben wir jeden Tag neue Besucher (Tiere) aus dem Krüger-Park begrüssen dürfen. Darunter waren Hippos, Elefanten, Rhinos und Buffalos. Das Personal und die Inhaberin waren super freundlich, hilfsbereit und sehr unkompliziert. Die Erholung ist in der Kambaku River Lodge garantiert! Das Malelane Gate zum Krüger Park ist nur 10-15min entfernt. Eine Tour auf eigene Faust lohnt sich genau so, wie eine geführte Game Fahrt. Wir kommen gerne wieder!
