Overall Ratings & Reviews RiverBend Lodge

Set inside Addo, you get 5 star service, and knowledgeable game guides who zero in on your individual needs. Lots of elephants, kudu, zebra, and a mating pair of lions made for outstanding sightings.

Superb accommdation snd food. Stunning close up elephant experiences and we were fortunate enough to also see lions, againe very close up. Highly recommend

Truly remarkable service from the management and staff.

A truly remarkable lodge, staffed by attentive, smart and genuinely friendly people. Very highly recommended.

This was an amazing place to stay in. How ever, the dinner which the establishment marketed as “gourmet” was a bit disappointing.. nice but nothing special, or that “wow” effect which you would expect from a gourmet meal. A bit unimaginative.

Overall we enjoyed our stay at the River Bend. The staff were friendly and helpful. Darlington was our Ranger for the Game Drives, who is very experienced, knowledgeable and very pleasant. During our stay we were lucky to see four of the "Big Five" and enjoyed each Game Drive. The furnishings at the River Bend are in need of some TLC; furniture is worn, the bathroom towels old and areas such as the the library need a good dusting- we found "coffee-table" style books coated in thick dust. It is has a "faded glory" colonial style, which needs updating to make it luxurious.

A very tranquil and relaxing stay, with fantastic food, and very informative game drives.

We stayed at River Bend Lodge with another family. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The game drives were amazing and we were lucky to have some good sightings . Our game ranger was extremely knowledgeable and full of fun facts which kept the children entertained. Our room was a little tired and the water pressure wasn't great would be our only complaints . Overall we had a very enjoyable stay.

We were the only couple staying at the lodge,our table for breakfast lunch and dinner was set next to the log burning fire..Staff were warm and friendly ,only too happy to ensure our stay was a pleasurable one..We had 2 game drives while we were here, so much more wildlife than in public areas at Addo.There is also a watering hole for animal viewing.Highly recommend the lodge..WiFi was good in the room and around the property

We just got back from a two night stay.. great rooms, lovely food. Really friendly staff, excellent safari guide. Maybe a few more up to date toys in the kids play room would be nice.

Amazing place with a real luxurious touch and attention to detail regarding service. Would love to come back and stay longer although it is pricey. Dinner and wine was very good value though. We had honeymoon suite with own private plunge pool and outside shower. Loved watching elephants at the watering hole.

The staff could not have been better and the entire experience was wonderful

Lovely helpful and welcoming staff. Sadly we didn't see any Elephants while at the property!! Rooms very comfortable, food excellent.

Very friendly staff

Excellent stay in very comfortable lodge with super service, very informed guide, who managed to show us elephants, rhinos, lions, zebras , buffalo, warthogs, various boks and birds and thoroughly recommended.

Gorgeous room with private plunge pool. Delicious food. Excellent game drives. All the staff went to immense trouble to ensure we were taken care of at all times.

Wundervolle Lodge im Addo Nationalpark. Es lässt sich jedoch nicht verbergen, dass der Zahn der Zeit nagt und an der einen oder anderen Stelle renovationsbedarf herrscht.

Ganz tolles Erlebnis, toller Guide, absolute Empfehlung!

Einzigartige Location und hervorragender Service. Die Köchin hat das Dinner sogar persönlich auf unsere individuellen Wunsche angepasst.

Sehr schön dort und die game drives sehr samtenem, da direkt von der Lodge aus!
