Crocodile Bridge Safari Lodge

We stayed at Crocodile Bridge for 4 nights. Beautiful position by the river and very close to the park gate. Such friendly, welcoming staff, especially the young couple managing the lodge at the time of our stay,

Brilliant food, service and views :) would recommend to anyone! Book here for your next family getaway!

Our stay at Crocodile Bridge has been absolutely fantastic. The owners, Bruce and IIsl are super friendly, extremely welcoming and really make you feel at home from start to end. Even prior to arrival IIsl was on hand to email me all the relevant information we needed about the accommodation and safaris that are available to book. This place really is a stones throw from Kruger, on the edge of river at Crocodile Bridge with amazing views into Kruger National Park. We had numerous visitors during the 5 nights that we stayed here, that included crocs, buffaloes, eagles, elephants, giraffes and to top it all off a huge family of hippos which kept us entertained for the whole time we were there. The accommodation is luxury tents and the standards are superb. They are super clean, extremely comfortable with double beds and mozzie nets, air conditioning, fridge and kettle. We also had constant hot water for a nice shower before and after safaris. We loved staying in our tent, hearing the animals at night really made us feel like we were outdoors with them. The owners are great hosts on hand every day and prepare the bbq for all the guests every night. The bbq are is a great place over looking the river and is a great place to sit and chat with the other guests after your visits in the park. The hosts prepare salads, potatoes and bread to go along with the meat that you bring along for the bbq. The pool is also the perfect place to chill between your early morning sunset and late afternoon sunrise tours. The things that make this place probably the accommodation in Kruger is definitely the location, friendly staff and the owners hospitality. I'm sorry to leave but I would definitely stay here the next time I visit Kruger and recommend this place to everyone who wants a perfect holiday.

We had a lovely 3 days at the Croc Bridge Safari Lodge staying in great air-conditioned tents from which you hear the sounds of the Kruger Park at night. It has the most spectacular view onto the Kruger, where you can sit outside your tent and enjoy sightings of elephant and buffalo crossing the river and grazing right in front of your tent! Dinner is communal in an open kitchen for everyone to use with Scott making a fire for the braai (not barbecue!) and his wife preparing great salads and potatoes. It's a wonderful way to be near Kruger and enjoy night drives when all other tourists have left the park or start an early day-safari on your own being the first ones inside. Thanks so much for a wonderful experience, we will definitely be back!

We arrived as guests but left as family. What a beautiful and intimate lodge. We had a fantastic 3 night stay at this wonderful lodge. I was wondering why I was unable to find any photos of the food but now I know why. The food is so delicious that you can't focus on anything else but every bite you take. Hence, I myself didn't take any photos either 🤦‍♀️. We were fortunate to meet both managing couples. They are so welcoming and friendly. The staff at Croc Bridge Safari Lodge are all wonderful. The culture of this lodge is unique and rare. It is truly a special place in every way. We can't wait to go back!

Perfect base for your trip to the Kruger National Park. Located right on the Crocodile River, Good accommodation, good food, and good hosts. We will be back!
