We actually stayed at Kruger View Lodge on the same property but couldn't find on this site! Accommodation and view of Kruger, Croc River etc was really great. Had friend from overseas so was impressed. Clean simple accommodation. Nice and quiet atmosphere. Easy walk in the evening to Rio Vista and The Deck Restaurant. Bush atmosphere (on the river), food and service great. Thanks for a lovely stay.

What a wonderful start to our trip to Kruger. The location on the Crocodile River is simply amazing. There were yellow weaver birds, eagles, hippos, bushbuck, waterbuck and more. Our room was clean and comfortable. The service was very warm and welcoming. It was very convenient to go pick up groceries and other supplies in Malelane. We also picked up a sim card for our phone right in the Spar grocery store. We only stayed one night but I really wished we had stayed one more. This lodge was the best value of all the places we stayed in South Africa.

Excellent service and good food. Breakfast can have a few changes like real sausages instead of Vienna's or pork sausages and some fried tomatoes and mushrooms

Staff is excellent. Comfort and sleep are very good. I have stayed there for many years and never had a bad experienced. My first choice of stay when I travel to Mpumalanga on holiday or work.

Rio Vista Lodge is so well placed for Malelane Gate with the Luxury rooms looking over the Crocodile River to the Kruger Park. The staff couldn’t be more helpful and polite but the great benefit is the on sore restaurant which is very reasonably priced.
