Wonderful staff, exceptional remote location on Blyde River, excellent food! Beautiful grounds, swimming pool and comfortable room. Perfect spot for a base to explore Canyon and area after Kruger.

Gloomy and under managed. Extras extortionate.

Stay was fine- happy with the place-however- the road to the hotel is terrible for cars. Breakfast wasn't included and way too expensive considering how long it takes to get to town to buy supplies.

There's nothing around and that's good. You need to drive down back roads for twenty minutes or so before you go through a series of security gates which help keep the animals in/out. If you come through late in the evening after the sun goes down you can see an amazing dark sky. The staff is very friendly, room was comfortable but be careful ordering the dinner...it ended up costing us more than our room :)

Breakaway needed after great work year satisfy with lodge will recomened

The road to the lodge is poor, but the lodge is in a lovely setting when you finally arrive .

Nice place to relax. Wonderful dinners.

The Blyde Wilderness Lodge is a lovely little place hidden away on the edge of a river. It takes 15 mins off the main road over gravel tracks to get to the site. Once in the site, we saw zebras and giraffes coming in but didn't see any animals in the river (hippos or crocodiles). We had some accommodation that had recently been added and, although the website says all accommodation faces the river, ours had a view of the wildlife reserve. However, the rooms were nicely furnished and clean and we had a little kitchenette with a sink and fridge. The food, both breakfast and dinner, was good value and nicely-presented. The only disturbance we had was the last afternoon when we were sitting having a drink outside of our accommodation and watching the impalas. Some guests arrived that day who seemed to be the owners or friends of the owners (they were later showing off a drone in the bar and told us they had been filming the place). They brought 2 big dogs with them and let them roam around the nature reserve off their leads. I'm terrified of dogs, so this was quite unsettling, but some of the animals were clearly disturbed by this as well. To top it off, one of the dogs defecated in front of us and outside our accommodation, but the owners didn't even bother to clean it up! This rather marred our view of the place after such a good experience.

It's a 20 min drive on dirt road from the paved road and a full hour drive from Hoedspruit, which is much farther away than on the web site.

What a nice place to spend a couple of days! Very relaxed and luxurious hotel with a spacious natural garden landscape right on the river. Great to watch the animals go by on the lawn. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Especially enjoyed breakfast on the patio over looking the river at the main lodge, and learning some Zulu greetings from the charming ladies who served breakfast.

Nice and quiet place to stay. Good for couples. Very good value for the price. I only stayed one nite, would be good if you stayed a few nights. No air conditioning in the room so take that into account.

Blyde River Wilderness Lodge is an excellent place to stay. We really enjoyed our stay, our only regret was that it was too short.The staff are helpful and friendly, the setting is magnificent, the lodge is nicely built and decorated. The only problem is getting hold of the lodge, but that is because it is in the middle of nowhere. In short, this is a great place to stay.

Die Unterkunft ist in einer sehr schöne Lage an einem Fluss. Das Abendessen war hervorragend.

Man hat dort absolute Ruhe. Hierfür muss man aber 10km schotterpiste fahren.

Cadre magique et animaux en liberté dans le parc. Le calme et la gentillesse. Parfait

Wir hatten eine ganze Gartenlodge und man fühlt sich wie in einem botanischen Garten. Das die Zufahrt schwierig ist, wie von anderen Gästen bemängelt, kann ich -trotz kleinem Polo- nicht bestätigen. Die Zufahrt ist so wie die Straßen im Kruger-NP. Was nicht so toll war, war der trübe Pool und das für SA-Verhältnisse zu teure Menü. Da würde ich eigenen Braai empfehlen. Das Frühstück war gut, wenn auch die Damen dort ihren ganz eigenen Rhythmus und Charme haben. Fazit: Wir haben die Zeit dort genossen und können es empfehlen.

Sehr schöne Lodge, aber sehr abgelegen. Guter Service, Hatten nur Frühstück, das war aber gut!

Fantastic stay! Cabin was very cosy and comfortable. Great service and the food was absolutely fantastic! 7 km gravel drive but so worth is, we saw monkeys, zebras and wildebeest on our way there. Relaxing!

Nettes Team, tolle Zimmer !

Eine wundervolle Anlage, direkt an einem Fluss gelegen, super ausgestattet, tolle Athmosphäre. Tiere laufen zum Teil frei herum. Von einem kleinen Wildpark mit Giraffen und Zebras umgeben. Sehr lange Anfahrt über eine 6 km Wellblechpiste. Abendessen recht teuer, nicht sehr gut. WLAN kostenpflichtig, Küche spärlich ausgestattet.
