Again a wonderful stay!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 23 Mar 2020
This was our second stay at the Crocodile Bridge Safari Lodge. And it was just as great as the previous time. Rooms are comfortable and very very clean. Hosts are so welcoming and caring. The facilities (including the pool) are so good. And the communal braai in the evening, with the delicious salads, potatoes and homemade bread provided by the lodge, is a wonderful way to end the day and share stories with other guests. But the best thing here is of course the view. The lodge borders the Crocodile River, so you are looking directly at the Kruger Park. We again saw lots of animals from our room, from the pool and from the deck. Elephant, rhino, hippo, etc. are all walking by. And lots of beautiful birds can be seen at the lodge as well.
The lodge is self catering, but as said, they do provide salads, potatoes and bread and the fore for a braai each evening. So you just have to bring your own meat and drinks (or buy drinks from their fridge). Each room has a coffee/tea station and own fridge as well. The lodge also provides a small breakfast bag that you can take into the Kruger Park, with a fruit, drink, muffin and yoghurt. Very welcome if you drive into the park at 05.30 and want to have a small breakfast on your way.
During our stay the corona virus started to spread in South Africa. The lodge immediately took precautions, like desinfecting arm rests from chairs etc. througout the day and providing hand sanitiser for all guests.
If you are looking for a wonderful place to stay for a very good price, book here!

Very pleasant experience and enjoyed the way dinner around a fire is held and all guests sit an eat around the same table which creates great communication between people from all over the world. The day game drive that was arranged was also worth the while as we saw more animal than a self drive with the long grass

This really is an incredible place to stay at. If you have any doubts whatsoever, take it from someone who travels to Africa on a regular basis, staying in accommodation from B&B to 5* luxury lodges, that you will absolutely love it here. You will arrive as visitors and leave as life long friends. The warmth and hospitality that exudes this little piece of paradise, will leave you wanting to return time and time again. The owners Allan and Michelle have moulded their lodge to perfectly suit the needs of all. The brai each evening brings people from all around the world together, where many stories and sightings are shared and friends are made. The side dishes provided by the lodge are incredible, so just turn up with your meat and alcohol and enjoy the evening, the beautiful views over the Kruger national park the lodge offers and the amazing night sky. To cook the perfect steak, we reckon it takes three beers :-)
The rooms are lovely, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. There is always plenty of hot water and the added bonus of air conditioning on hot, sticky nights. It is just a few metres to the gate of Kruger, where unlike the other gates, you present your indemnity form, ID and cash at one of the payment booths, meaning no need to get out of the car to stand in long queues. As visitors who are first in and last out each day, this is fantastic as we can be back in a room just a few minutes after leaving the park each day.
I really can't recommend this lodge enough, the value for money ratio is outstanding and as previously rehearsed, it really is one of our favourite places to stay...

The staff and management are very friendly and helpful. We loved to 'braai' and have dinner together with the other guest and meet the people from all over the world. The tent -with a good bed- is decorated as shown on the actual pictures and fits perfect with our needs on a safari. Everything is proper and clean. The venue is overlooking the 'krokodilrivier' no matter where you are: room, terrace, braai or pool; and it is only 300mtr. from the entrance of the Krugerpark.

We stayed in a safaritent viewing the river site of the crocodile river. It is a very nice place to stay, swimmingpool, nice deck and a very good manager who runs this place with his staff of People in a very nice way. When you want to visit Kruger, stay at this place.

A very nice stay! It is self catering, but the only thing you need to get is a piece of meat for the braai and Wine or beer. They help you with the braai itself and prepare salads and bread.
It is very nice to have dinner with all other guests at 1 big table
