Buhala Lodge

The welcome was warm with cake and hot drinks offered. The staff were professional but friendly. The accommodation was exceptional with amazing views over the Crocodile River. Dinner was a gastronomic experience served outdoors with exciting sighting of wildlife in the gardens and river. The African night sky added to the ambience. Our personal guide Connor Beukes, treated us to a veritable feast sharing his extensive knowledge of the Bush, the Big Five, birds and other animals in their natural habitat. He also educated us about all the vegetation and how the Kruger adapts to its animals. The highlight was sighting of a leopard on both days; one day using vehicles as camouflage and the other day, seeing a leopard slink across the road stalking impala on the river bed below.

Stayed in the Elephant Suite, beautifully decorated room with a stunning view, friendly staff, delicious food, would definitely recommend Buhala and can't wait to go back.

We stayed at the Buhala Lodge in July 2025, magnificent location on the Crocodile River where we from the veranda could look at an abundance of crocodiles and hippos, service was first class, food excellent and our waiter, Toki, unbeatable at his job, transfer to Kruger's Malelane gate is only some 20 minutes - a highly recommended lodge to stay at.

excellent venue. On the banks of crocodile river. Nice evening setting. Well maintained lodge, has great character to it. Food was divine. Great hosts, special thanks to oTlani. Rooms were well maintained and comfortable. Hope you can get the telescope working, will be amazing to watch the night skies and stars!!

Perfect place to stay, either for a round of golf at Leopard Creek or a safari in Kruger Park. Great view on Crocodile River, excellent food, perfect accommodation very friendly and helpful staff

Zimmer mit schönem Ambiente. Elektrische „Installation“ lässt leider sehr viel zu wünschen übrig. Armaturen sind überholt. Eine moderne Ausstattung wäre wünschenswert. Leider hat das Haus keinen Aufzug. Das war für mich ein Problem. Personal war sehr freundlich. Beim gebotenem Essen gibt es Luft nach oben. Die Aussicht auf den Fluß sowie auf die grasenden Büffel war sehr schön
