Absolute dream stay in the middle of the landscape. Animals around the tent, opposite a whole family of giraffes. Mike gives lots of tips for excursions, Addo Park and everything you want to know. Very nice breakfast with nothing missing, even Mike's special fruit salad, Be sure to try the braii in the evening, Mike is the grill master and Mariejke conjures up the finest side dishes and delicious desserts. We will remember this fantastic place for a long time, thank you both.

The lodge offers game drives through Addo National Park, game walks on the property and guided sundowner walks.

The view from the mountains is amazing. There is a nice pool and relaxing area. We had a dinner also with this view. The rooms are pretty, all made us to feel good!! We had a small Kia Picanto rental car, very small one. Luckily it was not rainy season, so it was no problem to go up with this car, we had to drive slow and carefully and all was fine!!! The hotel is not far from Addo National Park, so before heading there we made a 2 hour driving from the northern entrance of the park and we saw many elephants and other animals.

The Lodge is situated on a private game reserve, which boasts over 17 species of wild game animals, including a large family of giraffes. Safaris and day trips can be arranged.

Valley Bushveld Country Lodge serves authentic South African cuisine. During cold winter evenings, guests can enjoy a drink in the lounge with a huge fireplace.

The location was stunning. We loved all the animals that live in the estate. The staff was exceptionally friendly and also really helped us with all our questions regarding our visit to the Addo Park. We also had breakfast and dinner at the location which I would highly recommend. The vegetarian option we took was very good. We also did a giraffe game drive at the lodge which was awesome. We got very close to the giraffes which was magical.

Located on a private concession within the malaria free Addo Elephant National Park, River Bend Lodge offers luxury accommodation, spa facilities and private game drives. Free WiFi is available.

The Silver Thorns Restaurant at the main lodge serves contemporary and culinary cuisine. Room service and special diet menus can be requested. Drinks and snacks can be enjoyed at the bar. The lodge also hosts regular wine tasting and food pairing.

The grounds were really beautiful with cottages surrounding artfully landscaped grounds that were filled with birdsong. The chef was truly excellent and we enjoyed our breakfasts and dinners. Our park ranger, Paul MacKenzie, was outstanding. He knew the wildlife really well and had many tales from his interesting life. Rafa, one of the elephants blessed us with his presence at the gate on the day of our game drive and were fortunate to spend a lot of time with one of the lions. The Park concession was very good because it gave us long views. In contrast, during our solo drive from the bottom of Addo to the top, there was large bush obscuring views. I found the staff at River Bend to be really friendly and enjoyed my many conversations with them, particularly time spent talking to Jenna. I also enjoyed talking to Gladys, who worked in the kitchen. She and I share an interest in sewing with Shweshwe. We highly recommend River Bend. It is truly a 5 star experience.

This place is a dream, the location, wildlife and staff! They looked after us with such great attention for personal detail that we truly connected as a family and felt both rested and recharged from all the great memories. Also amazing with kids!! Thank you Shi-Ann and Jacome for being top in communication while organizing it all and the owners for checking in with each and every guest. Eileen and all the ladies from the waiting staff are a true delight and Ranger Lena had so much patience with us to search for all the animals. We will return!

    A lovely contemporary main lodge restaurant/lounge with individual sleeping lodges scattered in the hillside. Walk with elephants and the botany/bush walk a must! Delicious food, friendly helpful staff and a nice pool area to relax by or have a dip. 15km of unmade up road but don’t be put off , take it slowly it’s worth the trip!

    Best lodge! So welcoming and friendly! Our room was a dream, with lots of nice African destsils. Dinner and breakfast were delicious! But most incredible are the giraffes! A safari with Kerneels is simply the best… you learn how to approach the giraffes etc. his enthusiasm after 17 years of being with giraffes is amazing and contagious. We want to come back!

    Great accommodation concept in a very remote area not too far away from Addo Elephant National Park. Great and super friendly staff, great food and drinks options, nice pool area and our lodge was amazing. You can book a private game drive throughout the reserve, which was a unique experience as we not only spotted Giraffes but also could feed them from super close
