Hideaways Amava River Lodge, Greater Kruger (Previously known as Bundox River Lodge) | Kruger Private Reserves

It’s said that when it comes to building an outstanding safari destination, location is everything. If that’s truly the case then Amava River Lodge has everything in abundance and more. Set on a sweeping bend of the Olifants River in the far north of the Balule Game Reserve—part of the world-renowned Greater Kruger—this new tented camp offers breathtaking views both upstream and down from its elevated perch on the southern bank.

Here, the wide river is scattered with sandbars and phragmites reeds that attract abundant birdlife. Tall grasses feed vast herds of elephant and buffalo, while deeper pools shelter hippos and crocodiles. Towering riparian trees provide shade for the camp and cover for both predators and prey—from stealthy leopards to elusive Pel’s fishing owls.

Tucked away under the leafy canopy, the camp becomes one with its surroundings. Raised on wooden walkways to limit the impact on the sensitive riverbank, it appears and disappears in patches of dancing and ever-changing light – a mystical haven that whispers of adventure and the spirit of wild Africa. Irresistible… Alluring… Beguiling…
