Our close proximity to the world’s most famous wildlife reserve makes us one of the best options when you are looking for Kruger National Park accommodation. Your safari starts the moment you arrive at Kambaku River Lodge, as various animals can be seen coming to quench their thirst in the river below. Kambaku is also a bird lovers paradise - we have up to 220 species recorded at Kambaku River Lodge so far as well as a wonderful, fully equipped, photographic bird hide.
