Buhala Lodge is an enchanting five star colonial style lodge, situated on the Southern banks of the Crocodile River. The ample veranda space, provides all guests an opportunity to relax and dine outside while admiring gorgeous views of the Kruger National Park, and all the wild life splendor it has to offer. Members of the Big 5 are frequent visitors to our property along with hippo, crocodile and many antelope species. Buhala Lodge is well known for exceptional cuisine and a wine list showcasing only the best South African wines. Dinners are served either al fresco or in our gracious dining room. Dinners are as a three course meal with some options offered. The menu changes daily and dietary requirements are attended to with prior notice. Our guests have the rare opportunity to play golf at the exclusive LEOPARD CREEK COUNTRY CLUB which is usually only reserved for members. An open air bush spa is available at Buhala for guests who want to relax after a long day of game viewing.
