Once in a lifetime

We had an amazing experience here in at Kruger Riverside Lodge. It is really well built and everything is really clean and spacious. All of the staff are really nice and helpful. We had the luck to experience zebras in the garden. An amazing experience which happens once in a lifetime. We had a morning game drive with William. A really clever man who knows alot about the animals and the environment.

What a magical journey! So much better we could have even imagined. Thank you so much for making our dream becoming reality. We will be back for sure. We are waiting for you in Switzerland! It is amazing, everything was good. What I liked the most was giving food to the animals even if they like to scare you. Its amazing! I had the best stay of my life.
