We spent 2 nights at Bhula primary to enable us to play golf at Leopards Creek, however we took advantage of a couple of game drives our guide Pat was truly amazing and Sean so helpful thanks guys for fab memories. The lodge whilst physically in the Kruger is on the edge and you have to drive to Malelane Gate approx 15mins.

You can sit in room balcony using wifi to broadcast photos to your friends at home or if feeling social you can join others on back deck as sun goes down. Dinner has great options for both meat eaters and vegetarians. Room peaceful and bubble bath a relaxing way to get dust of Kruger safari off. (Staff helpful in setting up safari rides in park if you don't want to self-drive.) You drive through a commercial papaya grove to get to the property adding an air of adventure. Mistakenly parked under mulberry-like tree. Staff kindly washed car before we left demonstrating the high level of service. Highly recommend for relaxing getaway. ##### JG Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### SB 18 Jun 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Duur maar wel dik in orde Het is wel een heel duur verblijf, wellicht een tikkel overpriced, maar alles is wel super en dik op orde. Vriendelijke mensen, ruime comfortabele kamer, heerlijk bed, kwartiertje van de gate van het Kruger Park en het diner en ontbijt waren zeer goed verzorgd. Het uitzicht vanaf het terras over de Crocodile River en het park waren subliem. ##### SB Stayed 1 night in Jun 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ulrich, Full-Reuenthal 16 Jun 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Winter in Südafrika Winter in Südafrika / waren fast alleine ##### Ulrich ### 6/10 Okay #### Margrith 10 Dec 2015 #### Zu teuer Preis leistung stimmt nicht ##### Margrith ### 8/10 Good #### Emil, Wittenbach (Schweiz) 20 Nov 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Erlebnisreiche Lodge Tolle Lodge an sehr gutem Standort mit ebenso gutem und persönlichen Service. ##### Emil ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer 18 Sept 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A real find - gem guest house Had a fantastic two night stay with some co workers during a trip to South Africa for a conference. This place was a real gem, great place situated directly on the crocodile river which borders Kruger National Park. It is located just minutes from the gate. The rooms were wonderful and the food was five star. We had breakfast and dinners each day which were served el fresco on a beautiful patio overlooking the river. This place is perfect for couples, small groups and I would definitely return with my family. ##### Jennifer ### 10/10 Excellent #### Timothy 14 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Timothy Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew 13 Oct 2023 ##### Andrew Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Nuno 23 May 2023 ##### Nuno Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [5 Star Hotels in Nice](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Nice-Hotels.s50-0-d180102.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Beyond Krabi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Krabi-Hotels-Beyond-Resort-Krabi.h4850034.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Newark Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newark-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-Newark-Airport.h7825.Hotel-Information) > > [Moxy Plymouth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Plymouth-Hotels-Moxy-Plymouth.h92452544.Hotel-Information) > > [Family-Friendly Hotels in Oman](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Oman-Family-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d139-tFamilyFriendlyHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Carrick-on-Shannon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carrick-On-Shannon-Hotels.d6064257.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Uganda](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Uganda.d187.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Beach Resorts & Hotels in Great Britain](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Great-Britain-Hotels-Beach-Hotels.0-0-d553248623451644244-tBeachHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Makryammos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Thasos-Hotels-Makryammos-Bungalows.h20001563.Hotel-Information) > > [The Wee Hoose: Probably Scotland's Smallest Holiday Home](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Callander-Hotels-The-Wee-Hoose-Probably-Scotlands-Smallest-Holiday-Home.h27119850.Hotel-Information) > > [Hostels Glasgow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hostels.d1334-aaHostels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hippo Hollow Country Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hazyview-Hotels-Hippo-Hollow-Country-Estate.h2417701.Hotel-Information) > > [Sand Dunes Resort and Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-Sand-Dunes-Resort-And-Suites.h22497.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Brussels off Grand Place](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brussels-Hotels-Ibis-Brussels-Off-Grand-Place.h16260.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Southampton (SOU) to Oban (OBN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/sou/obn/southampton-to-oban) > > [Flights from Chicago (ORD) to North Charleston (CHS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ord/chs/chicago-to-charleston) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Palma de Mallorca (PMI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/pmi/london-to-palma-de-mallorca) > > [Flights from Faro (FAO) to Birmingham (BHX)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/fao/bhx/faro-to-birmingham) > > [Flights from Newcastle-upon-Tyne (NCL) to Bristol (BRS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ncl/brs/newcastle-to-bristol) > > [Flights from Romney Marsh (LYX) to Le Touquet-Paris-Plage (LTQ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lyx/ltq/lydd-to-le-touquet-paris-plage) > > [Flights from Birmingham (BHX) to Lahore (LHE)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bhx/lhe/birmingham-to-lahore) > > [Flights from Newcastle-upon-Tyne (NCL) to Aberdeen (ABZ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ncl/abz/newcastle-to-aberdeen) > > [Ryanair Bishop's Stortford (STN) to Bergerac (EGC) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/ryanair-from-stansted-to-bergerac-perigord-dordogne/fr/stn/egc) ### Cars > [Car hire in Praslin Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Praslin-Island.d2874.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Guildford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Guildford.d4648.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Reims Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reims.d2987.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### Holiday Rentals > [Sunset Crest Holiday Rentals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sunset-Crest-Holiday-Rentals.d6258229.Travel-Guide-HolidayRentals) > > [Madrid Holiday Rentals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Madrid-Holiday-Rentals.d178281.Travel-Guide-HolidayRentals)
