On its own private sanctuary on the edge of the Greater Kruger National Park, pathways wind through the forest over low bridges, revealing verdant glades and secret nooks that beg you to stay awhile and watch the endless dance of light and shade as the sunlight is dappled through a million leaves.
Blending perfectly into this tranquil environment the lodge reveals itself at every turn, spread out on either side of a small, seasonal stream. Antelope and other wildlife species move silently through this haven, sharing their space if only for a brief moment. Sparkling swimming pools offer respite from the African sun and shady nooks and crannies provide intimate interludes in the wild tapestry that surrounds them.
Sit back, relax, switch off and unwind. Is this heaven? We think so!
Bundox Safari Lodge is located close to Hoedspruit, Limpopo Province, and about 40km from the world-famous Kruger National Park.

Reviews
The whole team at the Bundox Hotel were very attentive to our special needs for an unforgettable honeymoon stay thanks to a lot of attentions: private dinner by the fire with special decoration, breakfasts in different locations in the hotel, late massages on our return from our evening safari... - Meals cooked by the hotel chef are prepared and hearty, we feasted! We had booked the superior tent, particularly spacious and comfortable, special mention for the very nice heated mattress in winter and the bathtub with nature views, I recommend 100% !!
Beautiful lodge with tents, cut off from everything with a caring team. The lodge is located in a private reserve. The place is unique and huge. The Bundox team is very caring so you have an amazing stay with them and feel privileged. They are attentive and very attentive. They even provide warm duvets so you don't get cold at night in the tent. The meals are very good and the service at the table impeccable. We were able to enjoy the SPA and had a private safari with them.
The tented suites are well-separated and well-equipped. We were initially in a tented suite but were able to stay 2 nights in Rhino Chalet when it rained and turned cool. That suite was wonderful. The outdoor soaking tub and deck were beautiful. It was so great to sleep with all of the tented "windows" facing our deck open. Very quiet at night. The manager, Amanda, went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable despite the weather. She is amazingly devoted to guests' well-being. The food (we had breakfast and dinner included) was excellent. Lerato, our server, was wonderfully friendly and helpful. Very clean. It was great to see a few animals on the property...vervet monkeys, mongooses, a hyena, a nyala.... Lovely to have our last breakfast served on one of the viewing/lounging decks beside the restaurant. My rating is based on the weather we had. I'm sure this lodge would be a 10 in better weather and with more guests.
Brilliant staff, beautiful layout and surroundings, amazing food and very thoughtful personal touches to make our anniversary that much more special. The staff are friendly and professional and went out of their way to make the experience 10/10.
Everything! We were upgraded to the best tent because it was my birthday. The meals included are wonderful and I even received a surprise birthday cake! The staff are extremely helpful. We hired the game drive and the guide was great, well worth it!
I loved everything. The manager even spoke Portuguese. We were treated like kings and queens. Everything perfect. Greater care with our arrival, super attention to every detail, concern with the type of food we wanted. it was more than perfect. Note 100000000 The best hotel I have ever stayed in. Incredible cost-benefit.
impossible for anyone not to like something there. Everything perfect.
Lodge located in a private reserve. The place is unique and the staff make us feel privileged! They are very attentive and attentive! We spent our wedding anniversary there or a table was set up for the occasion and with attention! We enjoyed a relaxing day, the spa, the 2 pools and the bar. We could see animals from the pool. Half board meals are adequate.
Where to begin when describing our stay at Bundox? It really was the most amazing experience ever for us and it exceeded all of our expectations. The area is super spacious and so beautiful. Every little detail was thought of. We booked the Superior tent and it really was a dream! So big and the bathroom with the bath tub view was amazing… like a dream! Warm water without any issues and an amazing bed with electric blanket for colder nights. 2 terraces outside our tent to enjoy the outdoors. An amazing outdoor shower and more. Couldn’t be better!❤️ But overall we were so impressed by the hospitality of the entire staff. They made sure our experience was so personal and perfect! Every one of them contributed to that. The food was delicious every single time, the spa is gorgeous and massages were the best ever. And of course, one of the main reason for guests to visit: safari! It was so so amazing and Siya learnt us so much about all the animals. Literally all the questions we had, he had an answer to 🙌🏼 He spotted even the smallest animals and he made sure we had the best safari experience ever. Living in the ‘Bundox bubble’ for 3 nights was something we will always remember and we are so grateful for the great service and the many gestures of attention. Would 100% recommend it all! Thanks again to the entire staff!
Big thanks to everyone for the wonderful stay. It was one of the best we have ever stayed in and the best one on the trip. Beautiful lodge and close to Krüger. The rides with the two guides were really fun. And the staff made you feel like a king. The chef is world class and gets three stars from us. Thanks again. We will be back and recommend it 100%.
For our entire month of South Africa this was the best, most beautiful, most pleasant stay. And that includes all aspects: reception, furnishing lodges, nature, peace, maintenance of the domain, restaurant but above all: what a nice, warm people at Bundox. Also very thoughtful: hang lights in the trees that we could then take to the restaurant, handwritten notes on arrival, as well as for our anniversary (how did you know!) and what a (sincere) attention for our children who can be over-enthusiastic. There's a lovely campfire every night. The restaurant is super cozy and the food is delicious (the menu is also adapted for example). vegetarian). There are possibilities to plan safaris (we definitely recommend the afternoon safari), other activities or order lunch to take for picnics => all possible. We don't get to say anything about this lodge and it's in our hearts forever. When we come back to South Africa, we come back. Thanks for everything! You're great <3 Sharon – Jos – Seth & Sam

Hoedspruit Reviews
Beautiful and Clean, pity a place like Mali Mali can upset a persons Holiday... an event that was meant to be legendary! Mali Mali is not as per there website... they manipulate the internet!
The nature.
Morokologa game reserve, we spend our Christmas at the camp and we had a beautiful game drive and morning walks with my grandmother. Played games and reconnected as a family.
Most of Gold cabins- the weather - the sound of the birds-
Since we have family and old colleagues in Hoedspruit we enjoy everything. Love going to Hoedspruit for a weekend break away.
The quietness.
It’s a beautiful town which is easily accessible and has all the convenient shopping around the lodges nearby and one is able to do various activities around the area.
Privacy!
The town is very small yet beautiful and neat. It has lots of tourist attractions and good place to visit, just to unwind!
