Our stay at Kambaku River Lodge was nothing short of magical. Nestled on the edge of the Kruger National Park, the lodge offers an unparalleled location that immerses you in the heart of South Africa's natural beauty. Each day, we were treated to the sight of elephants bathing in the river, while at night, hippos grazed right in front of our villa—a truly unique experience that brought us closer to wildlife than we ever imagined. The evenings were a highlight of our stay, with the option to have dinner served on our private terrace or to enjoy a traditional Braai, which we could grill ourselves. This personalized dining experience was the perfect way to end each day of our South African adventure. The staff at Kambaku River Lodge were incredibly attentive and made us feel right at home. Their dedication to ensuring a memorable stay was evident in every detail. We couldn't have asked for a better conclusion to our trip. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an unforgettable wildlife experience combined with comfort and exceptional service.

The lodge is amazing in all aspects. It is situated perfectly on the edge of the Kruger national park’s river border and there are lots of opportunities for wildlife sightings. We stayed for four nights and saw herd of elephants, impalas, and hippos roaming the river banks in front of the lodge. The room was fantastically clean and homely with many facilities like a kitchenette, king bed, bath tub, shower, a private dipping pool, and a hot/ cold water dispenser. There were also many little touches such as a bird feeder directly in front of the porch, a big torch in the room in case you wanted to wander the premises at night, and a bucket of ice which the staff refilled daily. The food was unforgettable - packed breakfasts for safari tours include far more than one can eat (muffin, sandwich, banana, apple, biltong, biscuits, cheese, canned drink, chips); the lunch menu was simply but wholesome; dinner was decadent and served hot. The staff was excellent - Dennis drove us from and to the airport and was our guide for the panorama route; Leanne, the owner, was so forthcoming in sharing her conceptualisation and stories of the lodge; even the service staff were extremely polite and helpful. We had a great time and would definitely love to be back!

Incroyable endroit au milieu de la nature, les familles d’elephants passent devant le lodge en fin d’apres midi. Chambre magnifique, repas et petits dej tres bons servis sur notre terrasse privee. Et le service impecable (nous avons oublie une sacoche dans la chambre que le lodge nous a fait parvenir a Johanesbourg). Safaris prives avec Elvis organise par le lodge. Bref, je conseille vivement cet endroit, surtout pour les amoureux en couple.

Most amazing experience and already the second time for us - probably not our last either. From the moment you arrive, you’re relaxed and can leave all worries behind you. The staff is amazing, food is delicious and the location is just surreal. 100% recommend!

We had an unforgettable stay at Kambaku Luxury River House. It was the perfect place to relax with friends, spacious, cosy, and beautifully decorated. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The game drives into Kruger were action-packed, with incredible wildlife sightings, and the food was amazing. Evenings by the pool, with stunning river views, were the ideal way to unwind. The lodge is solar-powered, which is great for sustainability, and the curio shop offers unique items to take home. Kambaku Luxury River House is a perfect mix of adventure, comfort, and eco-friendly luxury. Can’t wait to return!

The lodge was designed to ensure maximum privacy. The rooms are beautifully and well laid out with every amenity you need. Every charming fitting was carefully selected. Loved my monkey chandelier. For me the filtered cold water dispenser was a winner. Got to see 12 hippos grazing next to the river and an egyptian goose tending to her gosslings. At night I heard the hyenas in the Park. The screen doors on the rooms keep out the insects and I did not even have to use the airconditioner. The fan and fresh air accompanied by all the night sounds lulled me to sleep. The fresh food was amazing. They also have a wonderful wine selection. Being able to communicate with my hosts via an App and WhatsApp made for a seamless experience without staff hovering around me unnecessarily. The pool was the perfect temperature. Every night a fire is lit next to your veranda thereby creating an authentic bush experience. The staff were all super efficient and extremely helpful. This lodge is located about 22 minutes from the Malelane Gate making it ideal for a day or few hours visit to the Kruger. I have high quality standards and always appreciate excellence when it crosses my path. Well done to all involved with Kambaku River Lodge - you got the recipe right for an unforgettable experience!

we stayed here for our honeymoon and we could not recommend more! This was our first stop in South Africa and we would go back 10x over. The staff is the friendliest and most welcoming, the food is delicious, and the views and amenities are top tier. We loved every second here and the two safari trips we took with them were unbelievable! cannot recommend more for a stay as a couple or even With your family.

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.
