Bush Lodge so impressed me in February 2011 that I returned in May 2012. The accommodations are top-rate, the staff superb and experiencing the animals up close in a reserve that maintains the highest standards of conservation tops my list of places to visit. Owners Tracy and Rod helped by Rene are perfect hosts, rangers like Werner and Elias are... More

Best of all though was having Elias as our ranger for all our drives. He is incredibly knowledgeable, an excellent 'tracker' and friendly... More

The rooms were fantastic...we each had a suite comprising huge bedroom, separate sitting/viewing area, a great bathroom... More
