Kruger Riverside Lodge: the perfect gateway into the Kruger National Park

The Kruger National Park is a truly magnificent place to visit for families, groups and romantic couples needing a change of scenery. Here the unspoilt African wilderness – with its forests, plains, rivers, sunsets, historical sites and herds of wildlife, delivers an experience like no other in the world.

Yes, it gets a little crowded at times, but to witness the park’s natural wonders is truly a blessing. I recommend ditching the safari vehicle and taking a hiking trail for a more personal bush experience.

Situated on the banks of the Crocodile River and overlooking the Kruger National Park, the aptly-named Kruger Riverside Lodge offers guests a perfect gateway to the many adventures that await visitors to the park and its surrounds.

The lodge is actually located in the heart of the park’s Marloth Park Conservancy section where herds of wild animals roam free.

Upon arriving at the lodge, the owners, Charl and Riana, along with their friendly staff, will go out of their way to make you feel as though you have come home from a long journey.

Accommodation is offered in a choice of three Double Rooms and one Family Suite. Two of the suites are on the ground floor while the third Double Room is situated on the top floor and has a private balcony from where you can enjoy among the best African sunsets.

The Family Room is situated on the top floor of Kruger Riverside Lodge and consists of two bedrooms with two en-suite bathrooms. One bedroom has access to its own private balcony and the other bedroom has access to the main balcony overlooking the Kruger National Park.

All the suites come with comfy beds, DSTV, coffee and tea making facilities as well as en-suite bathrooms that have a shower, toilet, basin and bidet. Clean linen is provided along with bath towels and swimming towels, free Wi-Fi and air-conditioning in every room. There is also free secure parking on-site.

The lodge offers two guest lounges as well as two dining areas where you can enjoy delectable meals – breakfast and dinner is provided. There is also an outdoor swimming pool for those really hot days.

The suites are serviced daily, so you won’t have to lift a finger on your holiday. Visitors also enjoy immediate access to anything they could possibly need, including a variety of restaurants, shops and a fuel station nearby.

So, how about taking your loved ones to the Kruger Riverside Lodge this summer? To find out more about this amazing place, call 064 860 9035 or email info@krugerriversidelodge.co.za or visit www.krugerriversidelodge.co.za today!

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation? Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose.

Expensive is not always better. Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday. They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice. A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday.

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance. Of these, service is the most important.

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion. However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review. We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience? The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table.

Well that’s our theory anyway. It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced. However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience. In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe. It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
