Great location!
Fantastic staff and great owners. The food was awesome. The place needs updating and maintenance as well as a thorough cleaning. I later stayed at the Kruger Gate Hotel which had more amenities, free meals, cleaner and much cheaper.

Wonderful experience but!!!!!
We spent 2 nights at Bhula primary to enable us to play golf at Leopards Creek, however we took advantage of a couple of game drives our guide Pat was truly amazing and Sean so helpful thanks guys for fab memories. The lodge whilst physically in the Kruger is on the edge and you have to drive to Malelane Gate approx 15mins. The staff are wonderful and so helpful if there was one fault it would be the quality and choice of the evening meal I sent my salmon back because it was raw the same piece came back recooked this should never happen under any circumstances

From the moment we arrived we were welcomed as if we were family. Marjie and Erica were fabulous and the entire staff went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and well fed. From our room we watched crocodiles and hippos enjoying the river, an elephant visited the riverbank, kudus and bushbuck were everywhere. We enjoyed wonderful massages in a tent overlooking the Crocodile River and Sean, the guide took us on a wonderful tour of the panorama route. This is a lovely spot with wonderful staff.

Nice safari lodge facing the river and KNP
We had a wonderful weekend stay at Buhala Lodge. Breakfast and dinner were tasty and served in the dinning room which opens into the garden and to the crocodile river. Beautiful location near the Malelane gate. The lodge offers golf in the surrounding courses and safari drives in the KNP. We were extremely happy with our stay

Luxury of afternoon tea while watching elephants
Loved the afternoon tea and scones while watching elephants and giraffes come down to river to drink. You can sit in room balcony using wifi to broadcast photos to your friends at home or if feeling social you can join others on back deck as sun goes down. Dinner has great options for both meat eaters and vegetarians. Room peaceful and bubble bath a relaxing way to get dust of Kruger safari off. (Staff helpful in setting up safari rides in park if you don't want to self-drive.) You drive through a commercial papaya grove to get to the property adding an air of adventure. Mistakenly parked under mulberry-like tree. Staff kindly washed car before we left demonstrating the high level of service. Highly recommend for relaxing getaway.

A real find - gem guest house
Had a fantastic two night stay with some co workers during a trip to South Africa for a conference. This place was a real gem, great place situated directly on the crocodile river which borders Kruger National Park. It is located just minutes from the gate. The rooms were wonderful and the food was five star. We had breakfast and dinners each day which were served el fresco on a beautiful patio overlooking the river. This place is perfect for couples, small groups and I would definitely return with my family.

Überragender Aufenthalt in einer super Lodge!
Tolle Lodge gegenüber des Krüger Nationalparks. Blick auf eben jenen mit Blick auf Elefanten, Büffel (vor dem Fenster), Impalas und jede Menge Nilpferden (Ohropax mitnehmen für die Nacht!) Die Zimmer sind traditionell aber modern eingerichtet. Das Personal super klasse, immer freundlich. Das Essen war ebenso super. Die Safaris auch. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Duur maar wel dik in orde
Het is wel een heel duur verblijf, wellicht een tikkel overpriced, maar alles is wel super en dik op orde. Vriendelijke mensen, ruime comfortabele kamer, heerlijk bed, kwartiertje van de gate van het Kruger Park en het diner en ontbijt waren zeer goed verzorgd. Het uitzicht vanaf het terras over de Crocodile River en het park waren subliem.
