Bushwise Safaris was a great choice for our last night in the Kruger Park area. After 4 nights inside the park, staying at bare minimum rest camps with basic amenities, Bushwise was a refreshing change with its wonderful traditional dinner and knowledgeable owners. The room was beautiful and entire place had loads of charm; we especially enjoyed the second story... More

My husband and I were to excited to see the animals in their natural habitat....we encountered everything!! Bushwise offered morning walks, sunset drives, full day and half day drives. We went on one full day, two morning walks and two night drives plus a visit to the Swazi cultural center and an elephant sanctuary. Our very first night ride we... More

Hi Lynne & Rich, I'm really pleased that we could share your first anniversary with you and that you were lucky to have such wonderful sightings on your morning walk. Glad the elephants behaved themselves during your elephant back safari. Hopefully you will make us your yearly anniversary destination. Tim More

We stayed at Bushwise for three nights, not encountering any other guest for the whole stay. We felt at home, being really good taken care of by our knowledgeable guide. We had some fantastic trips to Kruger with our guide from Bushwise, the highlight was the "morning walk" that we highly recommend! Rooms are nice, though there are lots of... More

This property states they are a 4 star lodge but I would give it 2 stars. The lodge is small with very small rooms. The bathroom was tiny and smelled musty, probably due to the door mat they used for a bath mat. The carpet was dirty and stained. After taking a shower I walked over to the bed and... More

Hi Brenda Thank you for your review. It is a pity that you did not bring your disappointment to our attention while you were with us, then we could have given you a bigger room with new carpets. I accommodate you in the room with a private balcony and great view over Kruger Park and the Crocodile river as all... More

Travel- do not use the first entrance to Marloth park, but the the second entrance further along the tarred road. It is tarred all the way to Marloth Park, but cannot recall being sign posted. Not going to give the normal write-up, go and see and experience it for yourself. My son totally enjoyed the swimming pool, and the afternoon... More
