Property was more "rustic" and more geared towards Afrikaner couples than i was expecting. Food was "home style", basic but good.
Property just wasn't a good fit for me.

Great Lodge Great food Great location..
A real friendly welcome when we arrived at the Crocodile Bridge Lodge was followed by a delicious dinner and informal chatting with other guests. The staff were and consistently provided delicious food at dinner and breakfast time. The location is amazing for seeing wildlife across the river and I to the park. It is a delight to stay at such a grounded non pretentious well run lodge.

Crocodile Bridge Safari is one of my favorite locations in the world. Steps away from Kruger Park across the Crocodile River. You can spot hippos and listen to them snort. Many times other animals are along the river as well. Unfortunately for us the recent floods closed the bridge and the entrance to the park. This meant we had to drive to another entrance. The food is fantastic, hearty breakfast and delicious dinners are included in the price. We stayed in a delux tent cabin and it was great, also air condition. Highy recommend

Absolutely loved this place. The staff was very helpful and welcoming. Our tent had a river view and we woke up to the sounds of hyenas whooping and hippos grunting. They have a communal dinner where everyone was very friendly and we stayed up pretty pate around the fire socializing with everyone. Such a fantastic experience, we wished we would have booked more nights there.

Best Kruger Lodge Ever!! Can't wait to come back!
This place is the absolute best!! We loved our time here. It's right on the end of the park and the safaris we booked through the lodge were exceptional-we saw the big 5 every time and the guides were awesome spotters. Bruce and Ilse really make you feel at home and welcomed. We loved sharing stories by a fire every night and loved the home cooked delicious meals. When we go back to Kruger, we are 100% staying here and could not recommend it more!

Family style, firm beds
Extremely nice people. It’s very family style where you eat together. Our bed was extra firm and couldn’t sleep well. The owners were nice and tried to see if a different room would have a softer bed but we elected to leave so we could be closer to the airport. They really tried to make us comfortable, we just like soft beds.

Close to park
Excellent location right next to the Park. 100 feet to the park. You can see wildlife from your room. Extremely friendly staff. Staying in a tent (with walls) in the wildness, like a camping experience.

Where else can you have a sundowner with an elephant herd and morning coffee with lions? I would definitely recommend this place to everyone! The owners have created a wonderful community that is very welcoming (even shared her curry with me!) and just outside the park but honestly, you can see so many things right from this camp! I watched hippos run down the hill to return to the water after being out all night and we had lion roars and hyena whoops to wake us up!

This was excellent, we arrived late and all shops were shut but were able to get food and drink from owners. Our tents were first class with mozzie nets and spray just incase and comfy beds. Listened to hyena and lions in night and by 8am in morning had seen hyena, lion, elephant and more
