Waterbuck Game Lodge Thornybush Nature Reserve is situated in the Southern part of The Thornybush Nature Reserve, adjacent to a water estuary and waterhole.

Mixed Feelings About Waterbuck Lodge We recently stayed at Waterbuck Lodge as part of our honeymoon, and while there were some highlights, unfortunately, our experience fell short of expectations, especially considering the cost. First, the positives: the game drives were absolutely fantastic! The team was warm, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable, making the wildlife experience the highlight of our trip.

Kapama Southern Camp is situated in the greater Kruger Park area within the Kapama Private Game Reserve.

The property was modern, welcoming and beautiful. We loved spending time in the pool. And the hang out spots (bar, restaurant, Boma) were all beautiful.

Offering pool views, Kubu Bush Lodge in Hoedspruit offers accommodation, an outdoor swimming pool, a garden, a restaurant, a bar and a spa and wellness centre. Complimentary WiFi is offered.

We decided on short notice to stay overnight at the Lodge, and left feeling rested and satisfied. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The dinner was good, and the breakfast was excellent. While there is no Wi-Fi in the rooms, it is available in the restaurant and main building. I would gladly recommend this place at any time for a peaceful and tranquil bush experience.

Nice breakfast but I wish it was a buffet. With a lot of options rather than dishing up what you have prepared on the plate.

    Perfect from arrival to departure. Its now around 2/3 weeks ago and we still think about our stay and Safari every day. The lodge is lovely to stay with the kindest staff who also love to make some fun! The area is amazing for safari and game drives. We saw a LOT! And of course the big 5! our tracker and guide made sure we wouldn’t leave without seeing them all. Tangala team goes above and beyond. thanks for making our safari dream coming true like this! We love to return one day!

    We had an amazing stay at Tangala. Our first safari and it didn’t disappoint. Our Guide Respect and Tracker Fumani were incredible, went all out to make sure we saw the Big 5, great guys. Karen and Bertus run a fabulous authentic lodge and all the staff were fantastic, they all made sure we had the perfect experience. Can’t recommend Tangala enough !
