River House Lodge

What a wonderful stay we had. Christos and his team, Emanuel and others made us feel at home. They served us with nice dinner on our arrival late at night, that shows a lot of humanity. Thanks very much Christos keep it up!!!!. Chef Emanuel big ups to you guys

River House Lodge is probably my favorite lodge in SA. The staff are amazing, the property is wonderdul, the service is superb, the location is great. I don't have a bad thing to say abput it.

We went back again and loved it just as much. Come through twice a year, off the plane from U.K. 4 hour drive and we’re there for a couple of days before heading into Kruger. Always stay at River House Lodge - clean, comfortable and very friendly and a view that’s out of this world. Thanks again Johan and staff - see you in October.

This was our 2nd stay at River House Lodge and again it did not disappoint. There have been some upgrades since our last trip which only enhanced our stay further. On this trip my sister and I decided to just stay at the Lodge and not do a safari as we just wanted to relax and see what animals we could spot from the veranda, we were not disappointed! We saw hippos, elephants, impala, crocodiles, warthogs, water buck and many bird species. An absolutely wonderful 4 days. Our room was clean and very comfortable with all that we needed and was beautifully made up and cleaned daily. The food served at breakfast and dinner was very tasty and plentiful, we had some traditional dishes that we possibly would not have chosen, the food was served hot and nicely presented and breakfast is now served on the terrace which was a lovely addition, especially being joined by a very playful solitary elephant each morning! But what really sets River House Lodge apart is the wonderful staff. Hard working, polite, kind and friendly who always greet you with a smile and ask about your day or if you need anything. I’ve read some negative reviews on here and for me it seems like they are describing somewhere else! This place is not a shiny, faceless corporate hotel, it’s homely, friendly and has a wonderful ambience providing a wonderfully authentic African experience! I can’t wait to go back soon.

Excellent stay. Great hospitality and food. We were even able to see two of the big five from the property garden (elephant and rhino). Highly recommended!

The very best of everything, keep up the good work. We had a wonderful stay, we were so welcomed and everyone was so happy. The place is beautiful, the view. I will definitely go back soon
