It was the best place I have ever been to. I did not expect such service. All the staff was very friendly. All the staff were like best friends who were constantly worried about us. There were more staff than guests in the lodge. The food was very tasty. The Internet worked reliably and we watched youtube. The Lodge area is very cozy and large. We did not think about anything and enjoyed being in this place. The safari was also great.

Unyati is well located between the Kruger Park, Swaziland and Sainte Lucia. The grounds are lovely, the tents beautiful. The atmosphere in the bar/restaurant is wonderful, the staff really ensure that all is well and they were very welcoming. The dinner and breakfast were very good. The pool was one of the bigger pools we had on our trip, much appreciated. It was the Marula season, what a pleasure. Had we known we would have stayed longer.

    Breakfast was ok but supper was bland, no starters, no salad bar, and plain simple food, for the price u pay, u would expect more. I've been to a 5 star lodge in the Barberton area and the food, there was excellent, rooms huge, here u living g in a shoe box.

    The accommodation is good, clean and comfortable but the real stars of Boulders Safari Lodge are their staff and service. Nothing is too much effort for them, they will go out of their way to assist. The food and atmosphere at night was also great, we ate so well, thank you!

    River House Lodge is a really beautiful hotel in the banks of the river. Amazing deck that you can relax and watch all the animals that come and go. You can even skip a safari game and stay there to relax. You will see many many animals The room we had is a very big double room with a small balcony that has river view. Cause we were leaving very early in the morning i dont know how is the normal breakfast (we were taking a breakfast box that was ok) and a tastful dinner Highly recommended

    I was lucky enough to be upgraded to a room in the "Lions" lodges, facing the river (Thank you the Pestana Kruger Lodge and Genius 3 status). A herd of elephants crossed the river and came to eat under my balcony. Then we had dinner on the restaurant deck outside, in the dark, with the herd below and the sounds of the birds. An incredible location. Food from the buffet was excellent and as I left very early the next day, instead of breakfast I was given a full takeaway breakfast / lunch pack. All in all, an incredible stay!

    If Booking.com would offer to give more than 10 points for super extraordinary lodges than we would give here 12 points. Kambaku River Lodge is for a stay close to the Kruger Park just perfect. We spent 5 beatiful nights with delicious breakfast, dinner and wild animals just passing in front. We recommend also to book Kambakus Safari with most experienced Kruger driver.
