Emhosheni River Lodge

Locations is ar greater kuger . Animals wise much lesser compare to kurger but is located along the river so u get to see animals passing by drinking water ,

I can't recommend this lodge more. It's a intimate lodge so you get very attentive service from the entire staff. I stayed in one of the luxury tents which honestly was nicer than my on bedroom. Every meal was spectacular to the point to stop myself from overeating. The staff took care of things before you even had a chance to put in a request. Whether it was seeing your personal laundry bag in your room while you're on the morning game drive and taking it to be laundered, or setting up lunch in front of the river so we didn't have to step away from the herd of elephants we were watching across the river enjoy their mud bath. The set up at the lodge is great. Ypu can do game drives in the morning and evenings. Clement and Monet are great guides and drives. Educating you throughout the drive. If you aren't able to do game drives this is also a grwat place for you. It's right on the banks of the Olifants River which means the animals basically come to you. You can sit on the deck or the pool lounges as giraffes, elephants, hippos, gator, and many types of antelopes come walking by in clear view. I stayed at another lodge right after this one and while it was decent in paled in comparison to Emhosheni River Lodge.

My three nights in a luxury tent at Emhosheni River Lodge were very comfortable and just what I wanted. Sarah and the staff did everything they could to help me in my mission to see wildlife (particularly birds). The three game drives and a game walk I did yielded some wonderful wildlife moments and they also booked a day long birding trip through Kruger for me. I saw 56 lifers (new birds for me) during my stay. The food was great and vegetarian friendly. The gardens and surroundings are beautiful and I could see plenty of wildlife inside and outside the fence.
