Leaving!

The staff, location and facilities are amazing. You can relax in a friendly atmosphere looking across the river at the animals in the Kruger. The evening meal is a pleasurable experience where quests and staff can sit together. We didn’t think that was our thing but we left feeling like we’d made friends. Couldn’t recommend this place enough. Allan, Bruce and the rest of the team will make you feel welcome and regale you with tales of the bush or let you relax in your own way if you’d prefer. We will be back!

nothing. just book this place.

this is the place if you want to sleep just outside Kruger park but close to the gate. this lodge looks out on the outer banks of Kruger and you can easily spot hippos, crocs and other animals. the owners were absolutely great. we had dinner with all the guests every night, and Bruce (manager of the park) makes sure everyone has the time of their lives. we stayed in one of their tents that overlooks the river. well maintained lodges, good food and good people. Ilse (manager) managed goes for the extra mile to get things done for the guests. ten of out 10 we will go again here!

Everything was incredible. From the friendly greeting on arrival to the social dinners and meeting other guests. Loved the dinners around the big tables with the others sharing stories and tales. The food was incredible too. Home cooked deliciousness! The rooms are comfortable and spacious. All that with the incredible views makes for a great time away. Thank you to all at the lodge!

You feel like visiting friends. In the evening everybody sits together by the fire. From the terrasse of the lodge we saw elefants, impalas, hippos, gnus and giraffes. The food was very good, even for us vegetarians : )

Crocodile Bridge Lodge is in the most beautiful setting by the river and just minutes from the park entrance. We saw hippos immediately and went to sleep to their sounds! Bruce and all the staff were so fun, welcoming and knowledgeable, and it was brilliant to be able to share delicious communal meals with other guests each night. The tents were also very comfortable and clean, a perfect base for exploring Kruger - we did a sunset and sunrise drive and saw all of the fabulous animals!

The Staff was amazing, they gave us all the information and help us to schedule our tour on Kruger. Dinner was a pleasant moment of cheering experiences at the park with all the guest and the food was delicious. I highly recommend the Lodge, the view from the rooms and the pool allows to see hippos, elephants, búfalo and crocodile.

The staff was incredibly warm and caring. The room had everything we needed, a kitchenette, air conditioning, a wardrobe, a comfortable bed, an incredibly beautiful view of the river. You can have a beer on the patio watching the elephants playing in the river. We went for safari, but I would say take 3 more days to rest in this hotel. 2 days was not enough, we wanted to spend time at the hotel, but we did not have time. It is a very warm environment where you can sit by the fire and chat with other hotel guests in the evenings. They book safari for you. Safari was also very enjoyable, we did not see the big five, but there is no guarantee anyway, you have to join the safari a few times. Some people had seen leopards on a walking safari. Evening meals were delicious, there were various salads, vegetables and barbecue, it was very enjoyable. Coffee and tea are unlimited. Thank you so much for everything. we will miss you guys

A small complaint: The hot watersystem did not alwys function

Amazing location ditectly to the river with elephants and other animals coming close to you. Very friendly staff under the exellent and humorous leadership of Bruce and Else. They were always present, and Bruce is a natural storyteller entertaining the guests. Thank you for some wonderful days.

The staff at Crocodile Bridge Lodge made us feel at home. It was more than anything we expected. The bonfire at night, the food, the great stories and information about the wild animals and above all, the very passionate staff made that we did not want to leave. Thank you for making our first Kruger-experience one to never forget! At night the elephants, hippos, and a lot of other animals play in Crocodile river, right in front of you! So very special:)

Nothing. It is a great place to relax and do your thing, whether it is exploring the area on your own or going into the park and taking game tours.

The staff were outstanding and the location and atmosphere at the lodge was amazing!

Great location overlooking the Crocodile River and Kruger Park. Excellent hosting by Alan and Michelle and the traditional BBQ dinners were top class.

We had some problems with baths but the staff solved the problem. And well, that’s why you are here-Wildlife and it includes baths too :)

The food was amazing! And even such introverted Finns enjoyed those communal dinners! Staff were super nice and and the location was exceptional. We saw hippos, crocodiles, so many elephants and even lions from our terrace.

1 of the 3 dinners didn't have hot side dish. Bugs sometimes sneak to the room, but I think that would be in all hotels close to nature.

Location is perfect - just near the Crocodiles Bridge Gate of the Kruger Park. View is superb - a lot of animals come to the river and can be seen very clearly. Hippos sounds are great. Dinner is very nice - home made food quality. No mosquitos in the room. Owners of the property are very nice people - they shared some valuable info about our next destination.

A fabulous stay with amazing staff and in a wonderful setting. Cuisine was delicious and freshly prepared each day with plenty of variety for the vegetarian in our party. Helpful and friendly staff, nothing was too much trouble from the management to the lovely cleaning staff.

Nothing about the lodge but be prepared for a long wait to enter the park first thing in the morning. It took us over half an hour!

We wonder why we have never stayed here before on our frequent trips to SA, can't believe we missed it! Lovely friendly staff, great accommodation overlooking Crocodile River and right next door (literally) to Crocodile Bridge Gate. Very small lodge so quite intimate. Great facilities and the Breakfast and Dinner provided in with the price was filling and delicious. They catered for my husband who is vegetarian.

We had a wonderful stay at Crocodile Bridge Lodge. The location is extraordinary, you can watch elephants and hippos from the pool. The staff is super friendly and helpful.

From our first communication with the property during booking etc everyone was so welcoming & helpful. We were able to book our day Safari's in advance & even pay for them (which saved carrying excess cash with us, which can be a worry when traveling) We were greeted by Arno & Adele, who couldn't have been more helpful & made us feel immediately at home. Our room was right at the front with an enviable view, we were at the end (No5) so enjoyed total privacy too....apart from the visiting Hippos & Elephants of course! They have a very good back up system so you are not affected by loadshedding which is a very strong advantage in SA. We took a supply of beers with us but they do provide an honesty bar which was amply stocked during our stay. Free Tea, coffee & drinking water are provided also. Breakfast is served 7.15-8.30 & Dinner is around 7pm. Dinner times were great fun, with such a variation of people, you can chat or not (if you prefer) to others & gain tips about allsorts! Food wise, it is served buffet style, and we enjoyed a good choice of different dishes during our 5 night stay...braii... steak, sausage, ribs etc...chicken curry etc....with choices of rice, veg, salad , bread etc. Everything we ate was very good. So what makes this place stand out....it's simply just special...it's peaceful & the location is amazing, we had Elephants come right up to the fence to greet us & Hippos galore to watch... beautiful birds all around...the list goes on. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Fantastic location. 200m from Kruger Park Crocodile Bridge gate so can be first in the queue to enter as day visitors. Alternatively, just sit in peace and watch the game come to the river from camp - we saw elephant, Buffalo, crocodile, zebra, giraffe, impala and wildebeest.
