Exceptional Location: The lodge is highly praised for its exceptional location along the Crocodile River, offering stunning views of wildlife directly from the viewing deck.

The River House Lodge is truly a gem. The pictures cannot capture the charm of the lodge filled with treasures collected from a life well traveled, or the warmth of sundowners on the deck with fellow travelers watching the animals drink from the river, or the excitement of the kids feeding leaves to an elephant who stopped by for a visit. Johan was a perfect host -- fielding our many questions before hand, making reasoned suggestions (which we are glad we accepted!), and helping to coordinate everything from massages, to airport transfers, to a birthday cake! Our only regret was that we had not planned to stay longer.

We stayed here after visiting Kruger Park, and it was an incredible experience. The location is perfect—just 10 minutes from the Malelane Gate—and the views from the house are absolutely stunning, overlooking the river inside the park. Everyone on the staff was exceptionally friendly, and the food was delicious. Highly recommended!

Thank you, Johan and your team for a warm welcome at River House Lodge. It was a great experience for us as team on our first day to watch the lion and cab at night... The place is so nice and peaceful for business and leisure. The wild animal we saw was also great for our tema

What an amazing surprise River House Lodge was, the most beautiful setting overlooking the crocodile river, quirky in a very lovely way and with staff that couldn't do enough for you, what more could you ask for

Very characteristic and unique hotel, decorated with many antiques. The views to the river were amazing, both from the room and the beautiful deck. The staff was very friendly. Dinner and breakfast were tasty too.
