We had a 2 night stay at River Bend Lodge Addo. Staff Profesional, attentive and friendly. Good birding and game viewing. Great field guides, good food and comfortable accommodation. Nyathi conservancy offers many varieties of terrain and different biomes.
We had a lovely time our guide Christiaan was incredibly knowledgeable and went out of his way to find birds which we were interested in and not only the Big 5- food was great. All the staff were very welcoming and friendly at all times, We were lucky to be the only ones on our exclusive game drives with Christiaan which made it all the more personal- we hope to be back!
Recently spent 2 nights at River Bend Lodge. The suites are large and comfortable with everything you need. Our guide, Christiaan, took us on 4 amazing game drives . He was friendly, very knowledgeable and an excellent driver. You need to say what you would like to see and they will do their best to ensure that you do! Morning coffee and sundowner drinks and snacks were included on all drives along with hot water bottles and warm blankets for the early starts. We were treated to an impromptu extra drive as the lions were close by and buffalo were approaching them, they thought there might be some interaction, but sadly not. The scenery is stunning, very different from the rest of Addo. There are only River Bend Lodge vehicles in this area of Addo so no crowded sightings, it feels like you are the only ones there. The food at River Bend is outstanding, the chef came to see us each day to say what the choice was for the evening meal. Breakfast started with granola, fruit, yoghurt, croissant, meats and cheeses followed by a cooked breakfast. We couldn't manage lunch as we had such a large breakfast! All the staff were pleasant, helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend a stay here, it is well worth it and we hope to go back on my next visit. Thanks for a wonderful couple of days.…
We stayed at Riverbend Lodge for 2 nights and what an experience. The scenery was incredible, feeling really at one with nature. We took every opportunity to enjoy the game drives and Leo our guide was so knowledgable. The staff at the lodge were so friendly and made us feel so welcome. My dreams came true when we got engaged at the lodge- a wonderful celebration, with the team going above and beyond to make it so special for us. We can’t thank them enough. We’d highly recommend staying in this gorgeous lodge, and we’ll definitely be back. Thanks to all the team Grace & Dylan x
