Emhosheni River Lodge
Plot 22, Parsons Private Nature Reserve (98 Parsons 155Kt), 1380 Balule Game Reserve, South Africa – Excellent location - show map
We had an incredible stay at the lodge. The staff was so friendly and made sure our stay would be unforgettable. Besides that, Sara made sure our traveling went as smoothly as possible so that was really nice. Also, the game drives were beautiful, we would recommend the morning drives but also a visit to Kruger is definitely worth it. Also, the view from the lodge itself was already unbelievable, we saw elephants, hippo's, giraffes, impalas, and monkeys. The food was also really good, and the atmosphere was at dinner was magical. In overall we had an amazing experience here! We would definitely recommend staying here.
