One of the best vacations ever. The team at Kambaku exceeded my expectations. Hotel Location - The room is breathtaking as its right in the middle of the jungle with animals walking all around. We felt super safe but the very fact that elephants were romping outside the rooms was great Food - Amazing food service. My wife does not eat red meat and they accommodated the requested very well by preparing a separate meal for her every day Staff - By far the best staff ever. They were very responsive and cared for the guest. The safari team is very seasoned and knows how to deal with animals and keep guests safe. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rodrigo 22 Oct 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Sensacional o lugar e o atendimento. ##### Rodrigo Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2017 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Manyatta Rock Camp-Kwa Madwala Private Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hectorspruit-Hotels-Manyatta-Rock-Camp-Kwa-Madwala-Private-Game-Reserve.h4434499.Hotel-Information) > > [Hippo Hollow Country Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hazyview-Hotels-Hippo-Hollow-Country-Estate.h2417701.Hotel-Information) > > [Lion Sands River Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Lion-Sands-River-Lodge.h794222.Hotel-Information) > > [Imbali Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Imbali-Safari-Lodge.h1964193.Hotel-Information) > > [Honeyguide Khoka Moya Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Honeyguide-Tented-Safari-Camp-Khoka-Moya.h48696523.Hotel-Information) > > [Perry's Bridge Hollow Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hazyview-Hotels-Perrys-Bridge-Hollow-Boutique-Hotel.h1195055.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulela Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Tulela.h65309823.Hotel-Information) > > [Hoyo Hoyo Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Hoyo-Hoyo-Safari-Lodge.h2179397.Hotel-Information) > > [Honeyguide Tented Safari Camps - Mantobeni](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Honeyguide-Tented-Safari-Camps-Montobeni.h2850993.Hotel-Information) > > [Kambaku River Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malelane-Hotels-Kambaku-River-Lodge.h16217157.Hotel-Information) > > [Kruger Park Lodge unit No. 608A](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hazyview-Hotels-Kruger-Park-Lodge-Unit-No-608A.h40885972.Hotel-Information) > > [Rissington Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hazyview-Hotels-Rissington-Inn.h4306376.Hotel-Information) > > [Xanatseni Private Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bushbuckridge-Hotels-Xanatseni-Private-Camp.h13128100.Hotel-Information) > > [Ndhula Luxury Tented Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/White-River-Hotels-Ndhula-Luxury-Tented-Lodge.h38833772.Hotel-Information) > > [Jackalberry Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Jackalberry-Lodge.h2237662.Hotel-Information) > > [Hamiltons Tented Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Hamiltons-Tented-Camp.h2045224.Hotel-Information) > > [Thornybush Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Thornybush-Game-Lodge.h2222421.Hotel-Information) > > [Inyati Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Inyati-Game-Lodge.h12651157.Hotel-Information) > > [Sabi River Sun](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hazyview-Hotels-Sabi-River-Sun-Resort.h11965688.Hotel-Information) > > [Hazyview Sun](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hazyview-Hotels-Hazyview-Sun.h24341.Hotel-Information) > > [Muluwa Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/White-River-Hotels-Muluwa-Lodge.h21200171.Hotel-Information) > > [Destiny Lodge White River](https://www.expedia.co.uk/White-River-Hotels-Destiny-Lodge-White-River.h8158181.Hotel-Information) > > [Kruger Park Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hazyview-Hotels-Kruger-Park-Lodge.h1201749.Hotel-Information) > > [Oliver's Restaurant & Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/White-River-Hotels-Olivers-Restaurant-Lodge.h3886653.Hotel-Information) > > [Motswari Private Game Reserve Resort by NEWMARK](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Umbabat-Nature-Reserve-Hotels-Motswari-Private-Game-Reserve-Resort-By-NEWMARK.h3081112.Hotel-Information) > > [Elephant Plains Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Elephant-Plains-Game-Lodge.h15381956.Hotel-Information) > > [Timamoon Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hazyview-Hotels-Timamoon-Lodge.h15522060.Hotel-Information) > > [Thornhill Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Thornhill-Safari-Lodge.h15217462.Hotel-Information) > > [Parsons Hilltop Safari Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Parsons-Hilltop-Safari-Camp.h28823535.Hotel-Information) ---
