River Lodge is one-of-a-kind. Ten spacious, air-conditioned and tastefully appointed suites offer the most discerning guests luxurious peace and tranquillity. Nestled on the banks of the Bushman’s River, the thatched lodge is unique in that it connects a Big 5 game reserve to the Indian Ocean. Guests particularly love the boat cruise along the river to the village of Kenton-on-Sea and a relaxed stroll along the picturesque sandy beach.
