Our stay at Buhala Lodge was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed by the friendly staff, who went above and beyond to make sure every detail of our visit was perfect. The lodge itself is stunning, blending comfort with the natural beauty of its surroundings. Situated right on the banks of the Crocodile River, the views were simply breathtaking! We were able to watch elephants, hippos, buffalos, crocodiles on our side of the river as well as giraffes and many more animals on the other side (the Kruger side) of the river. The rooms were spacious, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully designed to provide both luxury and a sense of connection with nature. Dining was another highlight: the meals were delicious, fresh, and full of local flavor. Each dinner felt very special, enjoyed on the terrace under the stars. What made the stay truly remarkable, though, was the service. The team at Buhala was attentive, kind, and genuinely passionate about making guests feel at home. If you’re looking for a place that combines luxury, relaxation, and the magic of the African bush, Buhala Lodge is the perfect choice. We left with lifelong memories and a deep desire to return!!

It was all fine, including the view over the river, all kinds of animals passing by, Elefants, Hippos, Springbocks etc. About 10 minutes by car to the entrance of the Krueger park and 35 minutes to the next airport.

Beautifully decorated accommodation in the most beautiful setting. One could not ask for a better way to treat yourself. Staff is friendly, helpful and professional. Room size and privacy is awesome and the room offers more than needed. The food was delicious and the way it was served right in front of our room was extra special, not to mention how lovely the table was set. We enjoyed watching the elephants and hippos right in front of Kambaku River Lodge.

    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!

    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.
