Bushbaby River Lodge

Very nice place to get away from it all and be in the bush. Close to Hoedspruit.

Bushbaby River Lodge was a great, quiet, peaceful play to stay in Hoedspruit. Everyone was very friendly and the setting is great. Be sure to have a rental car! The lodge is a very long walk from anything.

Real bush experience can spot leopards relatively easily, lovely options for activities in terms of game drives in other private reserves and activities like star gazing tours. Lovely place, lovely staff and the owner goes out of her way to accommodate all requirements.

Fomos muito bem atendidos pela proprietária, Sra. Ivete. Funcionários atenciosos. O chuveiro fica do lado de fora do quarto aberto ao tempo. À noite aparecem insetos atraídos pela luz.

Location on a wildlife estate. Very peaceful with just the sounds of nature surrounding you. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Não poderíamos ter escolhido melhor lugar em Hoedspruit, Africa do Sul. Equipe simpática, atenciosa, serviço 10! Yvette e Ayla sempre presentes, excelentes anfitriãs. Recomendo muito. Se um dia eu voltar pra fazer um safari, é lá que me hospedarei novamente.

Best place to stay near Hoedspruit. Beautifully appointed with exceptional staff. The proprietor thought of absolutely everything to ensure guests are comfortable and happy. -Teresa O’Kane Safari Jema

Hotel lindo. Os donos dão um toque pessoal que faz toda a diferença. varios animais na reserva do hotel!!! Recomendo

Bed and breakfast in a small nature reserve which means animals are always close by. Well designed rooms (we had the Leopard room) with a deck that looks out on the river bed. Large room, good bed with musquito net and large bathroom area (also outside shower). Hosts are very friendly and love their b&b which can be seen in all details that have been thought through. Note that this is b&b so you have to drive (5 min) to hoedspruit to have dinner.

Super schöne Lodge! Angenehme Gastgeber, schöne neue Zimmer, sehr sauber

Das B&B liegt in einem Estate, hiervon erreicht man super den Krüger Park und die Panoramaroute... Man wird sehr herzlich aufgenommen und die Unterkunft ist perfekt... beim Frühstück hatten wir Warzenschweine um uns herum :-D auch der angenotene Grillabend war sehr gut.. ein rundum perfekter aufebthakt :-)

Os donos Ivette e Edgar são maravilhosos, simpáticos, solícitos, fazem tudo pela gente! Deram mil dicas sobre tudo, sobre todos os safaris, onde ir no Kruger, onde jantar, onde passear. Eles fizeram um churrasco Sul-africano para nós que foi perfeito! Interagimos muito com eles e com os hóspedes! O hotel é pequeno, mas absurdamente exclusivo, reservado, lindo, bem distribuído, com javalis e Kudus no quintal! Eu voltaria mil vezes para lá! E ficando lá, fizemos safaris na reserva privada do Manyeleti! Perfeito! Amei mais que tudo e me despedi como se estivesse deixando minha família para trás, de tão apegados que ficamos! Recomendo um milhão de vezes!

Amazing stay at Busy Baby, beautiful place to visit with lovely spa and pool area. Really clean, helpful staff (booking spa treatments for us, game rides etc). Really incredible to see zebras and giraffe walk straight through the lodge every day.

Bushbaby é uma reserva onde lá dentro você poderá avistar varios animais sem nenhum custo onde vc mesmo fazendo seu próprio Safari diurno ou noturno. O café da manhã maravilhoso.

No issues with hotel or Host. They were very profession, concerning and enjoying.

Nós adoramos a pousada, os proprietários foram muito cuidadosos e se preucuparam a todo momento para que nós tivéssemos uma ótima experiência. Recomendo fortemente!

The place is new and thus very clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. The staff was very friendly. The food was excellent. I only wish I could have stayed longer than one night. I had some problems with the directions but once I finally arrived, I really enjoyed it!

It was a bit different from what we expected, but definitely in a good way. The owners are both Dutch and they were super helpful and kind from the beginning. There are only 6 rooms in total and we stayed in the Elephant Room. The room was spacious, beautiful and clean. We especially appreciate the fact that it had both a fan and and AC, as it could get quite warm in South Africa.

Pretty cool waking up to kudu and zebra roaming through the lodge grounds.

I can't recommend this lodge highly enough. They exceed "5" on all levels. New and eager hosts sincerely look after guests and take pride in their property. They have excellent staff whom like to engage with guests. The bungalows and dining area / bar area were well loved spaces where they served up the best breakfast! Quiet and serene, relaxing and luxurious in the wildlife reserve where we saw many animals. Reserve was safe for biking and jogging and very secure premises. Nice pool as well. which was relaxing to sit around in the winter as it was a little chilly for actual swimming! I would suggest this Lodge as a stepping stone when traveling from Johannesburg to the Kruger National Park. You can comfortably rent a car @ Airport and arrive @ Bush Baby River Resort in afternoon. Have an awesome dinner @ The Hat In the Creek (in town) and return for a luxurious sleep with the National Park only 45 min away drive to take on the next day. Or visit Timbavati Private Game Reserve or take a public safari trip @ Manyeleti Reserve which the owners can arrange.
