Great location!
Fantastic staff and great owners. The food was awesome. The place needs updating and maintenance as well as a thorough cleaning. I later stayed at the Kruger Gate Hotel which had more amenities, free meals, cleaner and much cheaper.

We had the pleasure of spending two unforgettable days at Buhala Lodge, and it was simply perfect! The lodge offers a breathtaking view of the Crocodile River – a sight you’ll never forget. The mornings were a true highlight: we watched elephants crossing the river right in front of our veranda! Buffalos, impalas, and an incredible variety of birds added to the experience. The proximity to wildlife is simply magical. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and tastefully decorated – a true retreat to relax in after the exciting experiences of the day. The service was outstanding: the staff was attentive, warm, and made sure that every detail was taken care of. Tip: The morning hours on the veranda are an absolute must – the wildlife sightings are spectacular!

A very nice, quiet hotel with a fantastic view to Crocodile River with Hippos, crocodiles,elephants, buffalos, kudos and all kind of animals. The staff is very kindly and helpfull - the food is exelent. the rooms are a little bit "tiree" with minimal space for your luggage. In fact you have to "live in your suitcase"! In all - a very nice hotel with a fantastic location.

excellent location, great atmosphere, lovely food en wonderful staff. in short a superb choice for a wonderful experience. a young and top ranger called Connor helped us to create safari memories for life. we enjoyed every second here. all rooms are nice but the two lodges with mini pools are just one of the nicests rooms i experienced in SA.

The outsourced taxi service from the airport to Bahula failed to arrive. Eventually sorted but a delay of approx 2hrs in arrival at the lodge. They apologised but we felt it lacked empathy. No welcome drink offered either. Serving staff were attentive but it seemed some lacked a bit of training or in experience. New admin staffed were being introduced as,we were there and they seemed to have newer and fresher ideas on things. The Lodge is quite old and some aspects of the rooms could have had a slightly more modern feel, but still keep the rustic ambience. It also is not inside the Kruger Park but a 15 minute drive away, which is not ideal. That said the view from the Lodge of the Crocodile River and beyond could occupy you for the day quite easily with animal activity. We only did one days game drive but the guide Connor was amazing and we had an incredible day of sightings. Food was excellent, although we only knew of Veggie options half way through our stay.....on back of menu card! Lodge is aptly placed for Leopard Creek Gold club though. A lovely overall stay though.

Buhula is a great location for playing Leopard Creek. As it is located outside the Kruger Park you cannot do night drives as the park Closes at 6pm. Conner the ranger is excellent, v knowledgeable and the perfect host for the game Drives. The lodge is comfortable, which makes it is the location overlooking the Crocodile River. Food is very good. The WiFi is not as good as we are accustomed to. The service could be improved. Hopefully, this will be addressed with change in the management team. It is not 5star when you compare it to some of the lodges in the park which are far superior. Normally at a 5 star Lodge everything is included. Here everything was an extra including tea and coffee which was a surprise.
