Positive: It’s a beautiful spot in a stunning park! The staff are absolutely amazing, and the game drives are conducted with so much passion, enthusiasm, and respect for nature. We were also thrilled that there was room for our 19-month-old son to join us!
Negative: The dinner follows a strict set menu; unfortunately, the chef is not flexible if there is something you don't like. Additionally, the bar closes at 20:00, which feels way too early for a hotel. To top it off, service was inconsistent as they forgot our morning request for hot milk on multiple occasions.
Summary: While the stunning location, passionate game drives, and family-friendly flexibility were exceptional, the rigid dining

Positive: We had a great time at the Riverbend Lodge. We were welcomed with a nice drink and taken to our upgraded cottage. Beautiful. The staff was very attentive and friendly. At 15:00 a very tasty complementary high tea was offered every day. Breakfast was also very good. Above all was the game drive’s with Roland (we did two). We had an unforgettable tracking experience. We had fun tracking some lions that Roland “sensed” were hidden in some bushes hiding a kill. What a treat. And to finish off at our last breakfast a family of elephants just walk in front of the Varanda and a buffalo could be spotted as well. Thanks for the wonderful memories.

Positive: My stay at Riverbend Lodge was genuinely memorable. Matthew and Leo were fantastic guides, both incredibly knowledgeable and easy to spend time with. Exploring the Addo concession with them made every game drive feel special. The staff throughout the lodge were warm, attentive and always ready to help. The food was another highlight. Every meal was delicious, and the four course dinner was a real treat. My room overlooked the waterhole, which made the setting feel peaceful and connected to nature. The space was well designed with a very comfortable bed, and the outdoor shower was a wonderful touch on hot summer days. Riverbend Lodge offered a beautiful mix of comfort, great service and unforgettable wildlife experiences. I left with only good memories.
Negative: It would be helpful to have clearer information about the different pricing options when staying on a B&B rate, as this would make planning a bit easier. The viewpoint at the waterhole could also be even more comfortable with a few cushions, especially for those relaxed midday moments spent watching for game. My car could have received a quick buff before check‑out, which would have been a nice finishing touch before leaving such a great place.
Summary: Truly a great and beautiful stay.
