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

There were 6 of us including my 2 grand children aged 9 and 13½. Tim and Annette greeted us and arranged a delicious meal of baboortie and a bottle of bubbly... 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

From the great service we received during the booking process to our farewell, Bushwise was a perfect choice. The entire staff makes you feel so welcome and the size of the property ensures they can give you focused attention. We especially enjoyed Tim's great stories of his many adventures in the African bush. Great food, great rooms, awesome public spaces... More

The location can't be beat - right across from Kruger. Our first sight from the balcony was a herd of elephants across the river, and we had only been there two minutes. Only a fence separates you from the preserve. However, there are animals which walk around the house regularly - monkeys, warthog families - a zebra followed me back... More
