I don't know where to begin when describing how brilliant the river Lodge is. All the staff we so friendly and funny. The food was out of this world in fact on multiple occasions I said this is the best ____ I have ever had. I don't want to ruin the surprise if you go on Safari here, but let's just say we have had multiple once in a lifetime experiences in the span of a few days. We are already talking about saving up to come back. I promise If you come here you won't regret it.

We had a 5 night stay here last week and it was exceptional. The lodge room was amazing and very clean, sights of giraffes from the room too. The game drives were fantastic and we were lucky to see everything we came to see. Ozzie our guide was one in a million, looked after our every need. We did a loan game drive and he searched high and low for the lions who hadn't been sighted for days. Only to locate them as we headed out of the reserve. Food at the river Lodge is outstanding too. We didn't expect 3 course meals every night. Breakfast to was simply beautiful. Recommend to anyone. Big love to ozzie. Ade and Laura

The game ranger was eagle-eyed, really excellent. The food, especially the menu items from the kitchen were interesting and well prepared. The fires in the lodge were jept burning in the cold weather and the staff was friendly. Minor issues were dealt with professionally. Location was unique and beautiful.

The accommodation, food and service were all first rate. Our guide for the week, Osman (Ozzie) could not have been friendlier, more professional or knowledgeable. Thank you to all who looked after us - Erkansi!

Stayed here 2 nights as part of a 7 day tour. As per our stay at another lodge, the staff were excellent and couldn't do enough for us. The location on the river is so wonderful for food and a drink (as long as the monkey's don't try to steal it). It is so calming! Our room a very good size with a comfortable bed, good size shower and very clean. It was very cool to be in the shower and look out the window to see monkeys in the trees and giraffe at the waterhole. Such a special spot. Food and facilities were also fantastic!

We spent 4 nights at River Lodge on safari and had the most incredible adventure. Every member of staff was committed to giving us the best experience. Our ranger Leigh was outstanding. We had the most amazing wildlife encounters over our 8 game drives, everything we'd hoped to see and much more. We learned so much and had such fun. The variety of landscapes on the reserve - from hills to dense woodland to open plains - gives you a different experience on every drive. Being on the River gives you the chance to take a boat 40mins down to the deserted beach at Kenton on Sea, or go kayaking in an afternoon. The room was beautiful and the food delicious. We've been on a fabulous safari before, and this topped it. We couldn't recommend it enough.

The most amazing 3 nights spent in Karina River Lodge. The staff and our ranger Forrest were all amazing. The lodge and food are stunning. The wildlife is breathtaking - lions, giraffes, elephants, rhinos, hippos all up close and in their natural habitat. I would highly recommend.
