Blyde River Canyon Lodge

Beautifully furnished rooms, really pleasant staff and delicious food. You don’t want for anything here! Zebras by the pool add that little bit extra!! Before you go to Kruger, and after you have witnessed the splendours of the Panoramic Route, you must stay here!

We had now our second visit here and it was great and fantastic. The location is so wonderful and the people and service was perfect. I like the breakfast, the dinner, the pool and the nice animals there especially the zebras. We are really lucky to have the possibility to visit such a wonderful Lodge.

We’ve stayed at Blyde River Canyon Lodge twice and had a fantastic experience both times! The serene location, warm hospitality, and comfortable accommodations make it a perfect getaway. We’re already planning to come back soon. Highly recommended!

We stayed here after 15 days of self drive / self catering in the Kruger for a spot of relaxation. We used the family cottage which is situated near the main house and pool area. It suited us well for a family of 4 (teen/tween girls). The stairs in the cottage are not for the unsteady though! There is a small kitchen in the cottage, but not much in the way of crockery and utensils, but I’m sure the Lodge would accommodate any requests/needs if asked. There is a good size fridge and freezer. The downstairs twin room has a shower room, with the upstairs double having a bathroom with bath. We had a warm welcome from all the staff and enjoyed home cooked breakfasts and dinners. The food is lovely, with traditional South African dishes served. The Lodge is well organised and efficient, but homely and relaxing at the same time. We would recommend to others and stay again!

What a wonderful stay we had at Blyde River Canyon Lodge - we really wished we could have stayed longer. Our "cottage" was a beautiful African mansion! So luxurious, amazing decor and with the comfiest bed we didn't want to get out of. The garden is glorious and we felt as if we were staying in the jungle! Service was brilliant, from the welcome drinks to the car washing, and we just loved the resident zebras, bushbuck, impala, and monkeys. We highly recommend this as a place to stay!

Beautiful lodge. The walk to the river was amazing. The staff went out of their way to make our stay awesome. It was truly amazing. And the food was divine. I would definately recommend the lodge and cannot wait to go back one day soon.
