- Romy (10/5): -
- EDUARDO (10/5): Sejour Inoubliable - Notre sejour au Foxy Lodge a été des plus agréables. En effet les propriétaires sont adorables et se mettent en 4 pour faire de votre sejour un souvenir inoubliable. Nous avons été tellement conquis par cet endroit que nous pensons deja y retourner des que possible. Le lodge est situé dans un parc naturel face au parc Kruger. Tout est parfait. Vous avez la possibilité de commander des diners et 2 dames viendront vous dresser le table et servir le diner, l'organisation d'un barbecue est egalement une option que nous recommandons. Cerise sur le gateau d'inoubliable Game Drive sont proposés et vous vivrez des moments qui resterons gravés à tout jamais. Bref on recommande à 10000% vous ne serez pas deçus.
- Peter (10/5): Good location nice people. - Nice staff Nothing
- Ricardas (10/5): - Fantastiška vieta ir šeimininkai. Labai estetiškai ir patogiai viskas įrengta. Būtinai užsisakykite vakarienes, buvo nuostabi patirtis. Ateina laukiniai gyvūnai (impalos, kudu) į kiemą. Turėjom privatų safarį su Jaun, jis nuostabus gidas, daug išmano ir papasakojo apie gyvūnus, žino kaip juos surasti. Per dieną pamatėme iš BIG 5, net keturis. Nebuvo
- Julia (10/5): - Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt in der Lodge und haben uns vom ersten Moment an sehr wohlgefühlt. Die Unterkunft ist sehr schön und wird von den Besitzern mit viel Herzlichkeit und Liebe geführt. Man merkt sofort, wie viel Mühe und Leidenschaft dahintersteckt.
Besonders begeistert waren wir auch vom hervorragenden Abendessen – wirklich spitze! Für unsere Safaris haben wir außerdem liebevoll vorbereitete Lunchboxen mitbekommen, was sehr praktisch und aufmerksam war.
Auch die über die Lodge organisierten Safaris können wir absolut empfehlen. Alles war bestens organisiert und wir hatten tolle Erlebnisse.
Vielen Dank für die wunderbare Zeit – wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen!
- Grazyna (10/5): - Die Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich und haben weit vor Anreise mit uns Kontakt aufgenommen. An der Tür unseres Appartements standen zur Begrüßung unsere Namen. Das Appartement war sehr schön, stilvoll eingerichtet und sehr sauber. Das Frühstück wurde auf der Terrasse serviert. Ebenso das Abendessen, dass eine Woche vor Ankunft bestellt werden musste. Leider hatten wir nur einmal das Abendessen gebucht. Das würden wir nächstes Mal für alle Abende bestellen. Es war sehr lecker und reichlich. Die Unterkunft liegt nah zum Krugerpark. Auf dem Grundstück laufen Kudus, Impalas und Warzenschweine frei herum und begrüßen einen schon morgens. Die Unterkunft ist sehr schön. Man schaut auf den Fluß und kann abends die Terasse genießen. Wir können die Unterkunft sehr empfehlen und würde sie wieder buchen.
- Lufuno Netshitenzhe (9/5): Book Immediately. We did again. - The food being brought to the villa is amazing. The staff are on another level when it comes to hospitality, they made my birthday weekend very special. The animals roaming the lodge was amazing. Pool temperature was quite cold even though it was hot and it wasn't super clean but we definitely take a dip when the weather allowed.
- Henrik (10/5): -
- Paula (10/5): Best place ever - This is the best place in the world. My husband and I stayed two nights at this lodge and everything was perfect. The place is beautiful and very clean, the food was delicious, the owners are amazing, they are very kind and helpful.
We got to see a few animals around the lodge and is the best experience ever.
We will definitely come back for a longer stay.
We recommend this place 100%
- Sabelo (9/5): Very relaxing - Location close to the river as well as entrance to Marloth park. Plenty of animals visit the location. Great breakfast Perhaps unfair criticism for a 5 unit facility but thought privacy could been better. I am sure the other units offered more privacy.
- Sandra (10/5): Recomendadíssimo! Voltaria e indico a todos! - Lodge maravilhoso!! Um local tranquilo, bastante reservado e bem próximo ao Kruger!
Os proprietários são muito simpáticos!!
O jantar foi muito bom..
- Guest (10/5): -
- Bruno (10/5): Voltaria mais vezes :) - Foi tudo incrível, nos sentimos totalmente em casa. As acomodações estavam impecáveis e os hosts eram pessoas incríveis.
- Tristan (10/5): Gastfreundliche Hosts und top Safari Erlebnis - Wir haben uns direkt willkommen und gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Basil und Riëtte sind wundervolle Hosts. Unser Unterkunft war sauber und perfekt für unseren 3-tägigen Safari Aufenthalt.
Die Hausdamen Elisabeth und Patricia waren super lieb. Sie haben unser Abendessen immer angenehm gestaltet.
Auch die gebuchten Safari Touren über die Lodge waren erfolgreich. Wir haben die Big 5 gesehen :)
Der Guide Jaun hat ein super Gespür für die Tiere und immer ein gutes Bauchgefühl wo wir weitere Tiere sehen könnten. Alles super
- Paulo (10/5): Paraiso em meio a savana africana - Bem localizado, com um Game Drive interessante, e com tudo o que voce precisa para uma estadia confortável. O Lodge é rodeado de animais da savana e bem próximo ao rio crocodilo é possível observar elefantes, búfalos e rinocerontes
- Naomi (10/5): Best place to stay in Marloth Park - Excellent location! Best place to stay in Marloth Park! Hosts were the best! Beautiful villa with excellent staff.
- Mbali (10/5): Excellent stay and staff and owners of the property were great . - Tranquil and quiet. Enjoyed game roaming around and having breakfast over looking the crocodile river None
- FELIXAT (10/5): Paraíso Base para Visitar Kruguer - Todo, en general todo. Nos han hecho sentir como en casa desde el primer minuto que entramos. Pero no una simpatía forzada por ser huésped, cuando estas con Basil o Riette ves que les gusta vivir alli y llevar su lodge con una dedicación total y eso te lo transmiten.....
Nuestro guía en los safaris Jaun es un tío que nació en la zona que conoce muy bien Kruguer y que vive cada avistamiento de animales como el primer dia, el mismo graba y hace fotos, conoce las especies de flora y fauna y siempre prioriza el cuidado del parque ... si ve un aglomeramiento es el primero que se va para no estresar al animal. Un guía buenísimo.
Todo el staff se lo curro muchísimo para hacernos sentir bien, Maria, Patricia, ........... Una pasada en resumen. No nos gustó estar tan poco tiempo.
- Jonathan (10/5): A stay you won’t regret, thank you immensely for having us in your little piece of paradise! - Incredible room, food, service and location! Nothing!
- Joelle (9/5): -
- Henk (10/5): Awesome escape for adults - This is an absolute gem. Very near the Crocodile Bridge and it located very near the Crocodile River. We booked the half board option. The Braai was an experience in itself. The owners are hands on and always available. Everything was perfect
- Larissa (10/5): Estadia perfeita - Tudo foi perfeito! Fomos super bem recebidos, comida e instalações maravilhosas. Funcionários super atenciosos, Maria, Elizabeth e Jaun foram incríveis! Nada!
- Manoela Graff (10/5): SIMPLESMENTE PERFEITA! - Simplesmente TUDO impecável. A decoração, o aconchego, a estrutura… Amei tudo, não teve um ponto negativo sequer.
- Niene (7/5): - Comfortabele kamer vriendelijk personeel Ze zeiden uitzicht rivier, wat overdreven was ver van de river met veel bush/struiken er voor.
Eten verhoudingsgewijs erg duur en ontbijt wat je meekreeg op safari ver onder de maat
- Christian (10/5): Super Unterkunft. Es passte einfach alles. - Sehr netter Empfang von der Chefin.
Super freundliches Personal.
Frühstück sowie Dinner waren sehr gut. Das wir nur eine Nacht dort waren😊😂
- Cameron (10/5): The team treat you like family as you arrive. We were honored to have our honeymoon there and cannot wait to go back. Th - Everything. The location, staff, facilities. Everything is beyond perfect.
- Tarquinn (10/5): Was absolutely perfect I wouldn’t change a thing. - I love the modern and the safari aesthetics of the lodge it really brought the feeling of luxury while still being able to connect with nature.
- Hannah (10/5): - Our stay at Foxy Crocodile Lodge was the perfect start to our Africa trip. We honestly can’t put into words how warmly we were welcomed by Basil and Riëtte. From the very first moment, they made us feel at home and went above and beyond to make our stay special. Their hospitality made these two days truly unforgettable for us. Thank you so much for the wonderful time – we will always remember it. Hopefully we will be back very soon!

- Nicole (9/5): -
- Michael (10/5): - Wunderbare Gastgeber, hervorragende Unterkunft mit toller Lage
- Ina (10/5): -
- Orestis (10/5): Eine einmalige Zeit am Crocodile River - Traumhafte Lage mit regelmäßigem Tierversuch. Besonders ans Herz gewachsen ist uns das Haustier, ein Kudu ;)
Super freundliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeber!
Würden jederzeit wiederkommen
- Mark (10/5): Not to be Missed
6b - Everything. Read my Google Review.
- Christiaan (7/5): -
- Luke (10/5): An unforgettable experience, with incredible wildlife right on your doorstep, beautiful and comfortable accommodation, o - We couldn’t recommend Foxy Crocodile Bush Lodge highly enough, if you’re planning a stay in Kruger Park, look no further.
From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by kudu, antelope, and wildebeest roaming freely right outside the lodge (see photos). It was such a magical welcome and immediately set the tone for the rest of our stay.
The lodge itself is incredible - spotless, beautifully designed, and wonderfully homely. The bed was huge and exceptionally comfortable. Spending time on the terrace or in the splash pool, watching animals wander by just metres away, was an unforgettable way to relax and soak in the surroundings.
The food was outstanding. Breakfast was brought to us on the terrace each morning, which felt like such a treat, and dinner was equally impressive. The bush braai, especially the T-bone steak with its incredible glaze, was a real highlight.
Basil and Riette were fantastic hosts who truly couldn’t do enough for us. They were warm, attentive, and made us feel completely at home throughout our stay.
The safari departing directly from the lodge each morning was another unforgettable experience and made everything so easy and seamless.
Overall, this was one of the most magical places we’ve ever stayed, and we can’t wait to return. Nothing, the lodge was perfect
- Jesse (10/5): -
- Jörg (10/5): - Wir haben uns super wohl gefühlt bei Basil und Riette. Ab der ersten Minute hat die Chemie gestimmt. Basil hat uns empfangen und alles erklärt. Die Lage und die Lodge sind wirklich einmalig. Jede Menge Tiere u.a. Gnus, Zebras und Kudus kommen permanent vorbei und grasen direkt vor der Veranda.
Sowohl das Frühstück, als auch das Abendessen werden auf der Veranda serviert, was uns sehr gut gefallen hat. Das Essen war jedes Mal hervorragend.
Alle Mitarbeiter sind sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Die ganztägige Safari mit Jaun war ebenfalls super.
Basil und Riette geben dem Ganzen einen tollen familiären Touch. Dies findet man nicht so oft.
Wir werden auf alle Fälle zurückkommen und nächstes Mal auch etwas länger bleiben.
- Nick (10/5): - The location.
The peace with the sounds of Africa.
The wild animals stopping by.
The staff who are super friendly and you can tell that they love their job.
The owners who have built a wonderful little osasis in Marlon Park.
The bed which was super comfortable.
The closeness to the Kruger Gate (Crocodile Bridge gate is 20mins drive).
Food and drinks shops are 10-15 minutes drive.
Various restaurants are a similar drive.
The in house bbq/braai on an open fire pit that the staff prepare and serve.
The size of the room/villa.
1 min walk to the fence dividing Marloth Park from the Crocodile river and the Kruger.
For my wife and I it was a wonderful 4 days of relaxation in the African Bush just chilling, reading, watching African wildlife from our terrace. Having to leave and move on to Paternoster.
- Dennis (10/5): -
- Donald (10/5): The safari guide was on point and well away of our surroundings, the owners are very good people and the staff had excep - The outdoor private pool, cleanliness and food The outdoor shower was not squeaky clean
- Steve (10/5): A fantastic place to stay - Have stayed here before & would definitely stay again. The location is fantastic, the rooms are more like an apartment. Everything was clean & lovely. The private splash pool was really nice as it was pretty hot. Love the fact that the kudu, giraffe and zebra roam freely around yet it’s not in the park. The owners were really friendly. The ladies prepared & cooked our meals and prepared our rooms. Nothing
- Holger (10/5): Einfach perfekt - Super schöne Unterkunft. Mit hautnaher Tierbeobachtung von der Terrasse aus. Super freundliche Eigentümer. Der vorherige Kontakt hat immer perfekt geklappt. Sehr nettes freundliches Personal. Es ist sehr sicher dort.
- Carina (10/5): Tolle Lodge, sehr empfehlenswert! - Großes, stilvolles Apartment
Sehr nette und hilfsbereite Gastgeber und Angestellte
Super Safari mit außerordentlich engagiertem Guide
Nähe zum Krüger
Leckeres Abendessen
Braai (auf Bestellung), tolles Erlebnis Portion des Abendessens war klein
Mückennetz über dem Bett ist nicht ganz dicht
- Sophie (10/5): - Toller persönlicher Service! Essen privat auf der Terrasse während die wilden Tiere wie Warzenschwein Familien oder Kudus direkt übers Grundstück laufen!
- MARINA (10/5): -
- Silke (10/5): Einfach super - Lage, Ausstattung und Personal - Die Unterkunft ist einfach nur schön. Schön gelegen, sehr gut und geschmackvoll ausgestattet mit einem eigenen Pool und verschiedenen Terassen. Eine kleine Anlage, dadurch sehr privat.
Ideal, um nach einer Safari perfekt zu entspannen. Kurze Wege zu zwei Toren des Krüger Parks. Lieget direkt am Corocodile River. Auch kann man von hier direkt Safari Trips starten, auch der Guide war super. Alles war perfekt
- Andrei (10/5): Ideal pace to explore Kruger - We had a wonderful four-night stay at Foxy Lodge and are so glad we chose it for our first Kruger adventure!
It’s just an hour and a half from Kruger International Airport, so getting there and back was super easy. Plus, the lodge is right by the river, offering amazing views of Kruger National Park and a chance to see and hear hippos.
Marloth Park, where the lodge is, is bursting with wildlife, and we saw heaps of different animals just around us. Being so close to Crocodile Bridge Gate (a quick 20-minute drive) meant we could easily get into Kruger Park, which meant more sleep and more time to explore.
The rooms are big, air-conditioned and have everything you need. The WiFi is great and the dinners are delicious, especially the T-Bone dinner.
The lodge also runs safaris with their own car and guide, and we managed to spot all the Big Five. Our guide, Jaun, was fantastic.
The friendly and helpful team, from booking online to the lodge staff, made us feel welcome and we had a great time.
- Sean (10/5): -
- Beate (8/5): Schöne Bushübernachtung - Leider noch im Bauzustand Infos ganz haben die Fotos nicht zu Realität gepasst. Nichtsdestotrotz hatten wir eine tolle Zeit!
- Gaynor (10/5): Wonderful, we will definitely be back - Amazing staff and experience. Joretha was a wonderful, ever-present host, and Johan was an engaging, knowledgeable game-drive guide who got us up close to the lions. Delicious meals, wildlife everywhere for selfies, and hippos visible in the Crocodile River just across the lodge. Nothing
- Portia (10/5): -
- Florian (10/5): Tolle Unterkunft und tolles, herzliches Team! - Basil und Riëtte sind außergewöhnlich zuvorkommend und herzlich. Egal welches Anliegen man hat, die beiden sind immer direkt zur Stelle.
Wir haben uns während unseres Aufenthalts wie zuhause gefühlt, das liegt vor allem an der tollen Unterkunft aber auch an dem überaus liebevollen Team.😊
Die von der Unterkunft organisierten Safaris mit dem super Guide Jaun in den Krüger Park waren ein absolutes Highlight und sind eine absolute Empfehlung. Wir hätten es uns nicht besser wünschen können.
Als Abschlusshighlight unseres 5 tägigen Aufenthalts wurde dann auch direkt bei uns an der Grillstelle ein T-Bone Steak gegrillt - sowohl Show als auch Geschmack sind eine absolute 10 von 10!
Wir empfehlen von Herzen die Foxy Crocodile Bush Lodge und würden jederzeit wieder hier her kommen. Nur schweren Herzens geht man von hier.
Wir bedanken uns auch nochmal für diese außergewöhnlichen Tage und die Herzlichkeit von Basil, Riëtte und dem ganzen Team!😊 Hier gibt’s nichts zu meckern.
- Kitsiso (10/5): -
- Sandra (10/5): We will be back.its was amaIng - Really Clean, extra comfy bed, great staff who were always there to help, everything needed to be comfortable. Nil
- Joshua (10/5): Wake up to Kudu at your doorstep, braai to the sound of hippos at night. A true Kruger experience. - The location was stunning, we woke up to Kud, warthog and other antelope at our door step more than once. Walking along the border fence of the Kruger seeing and hearing hippo and different types of antelope. Our room had a private dipping pool which was perfect for roasting midday before we headed out back into the park. It was only a 15 minute drive from crocodile bridge gate. We felt completely safe the entire time.
The staff were amazing: warm, genuine people who are willing to go above and beyond. Breakfast was delicious and if we were heading into the park they prepared some food for us to take in. We got to braai every night, they have gas or charcoal options. We loved everything about our stay, we stayed at a few different places during our Kruger trip but this was our favourite by far.
- Florin (9/5): Excellent Safari Lodge - The lodge is nice and the owners are amazing people.
They waited for us under a torrential rain and show us our rooms.
The rooms are big and clean. You have the feeling that you are in Africa in this lodge.
The food is tasty and fresh.
The lodge can organize a safari drive with a very good car.
I've chosen another option for safari but was not so good like the one organised by the lodge. Everything was very good
- Leo (10/5): - Eine sehr schöne Lodge in unmittelbarer Nähe zum Krüger Park. Nur 15min bis zum Gate..
Und das ist nur das erste Pfund.
Weiter geht es mit der herzlichen Betreuung durch Riette, Basil und dem Team in der Lodge.
Da bleibt kein Wunsch unerfüllt , keine Frage ohne Antwort..Unsere Villa war war geräumig und es war alles da, was wir erwartet haben.
Der gebuchte Morning Drive mit Jaun war perfekt. Mehr geht nicht an einem Tag.
Das Frühstück ist mit Liebe zubereitet und das Abendessen einfach nur lecker.
Wir können diese Lodge nur empfehlen und würden jederzeit sehr gerne wieder hier einige Tage verbringen.
- Isabella (10/5): Perfect little get away, a small slice of paradise! - It was a beautiful property located very close to the game drive. The facilities were above expectations! The staff were incredibly friendly and very respectful! If you go on a safari ask for John as he is definitely the animal whisperer! Nothing it was amazing
- Ana (9/5): -
- scott (10/5): - The rooms, general location and staff were all unreal! However by far the best part of this hotel was the safari these guys put on. The guide Juan really made our trip and have already recommended friends to stay here for him alone. I couldnt recommended this place enough! Nothing!
- Marc (10/5): Très belle chambre et magnifique décoration ! - Très belle chambre
Magnifique déco
Hôte très sympathique 😉
- Kgothatso (10/5): Tranquil and Comfortable Stay - The location is amazing, along the Crocodile River and a 15 minute drive to the Crocodile Bridge entrance to the Kruger National Park. The room was super spacious with all the amenities you can think of for visitors’ self-catering needs. The game drive was great, staff is friendly, and the hospitality by Basil & Riëtte was top notch! None
- Hlalo (9/5): - Beautiful Villa and excellent Staff including the owners They can improve on Breakfast
- Craig (10/5): -
- Martin (9/5): Super ! - De lodge was fantastisch. Ruim en van alle gemakken voorzien. Heerlijke bedden. Zeer gastvrije host en hostess en heerlijke maaltijden door de hostess bereid. Ook de braai is voortreffelijk. Prima locatie aan de rivier met alle dieren op steenworp afstand. Een aanrader !! Het enige wat we kunnen verzinnen is dat de badlakens wel erg groot zijn en een maatje kleiner dus handzamer hadden gemogen.
- Patrik (10/5): -
- Lauren (10/5): Paradise, we can’t wait to come back - From the moment we arrived we were instantly made to feel welcome by Basil, Riette and the rest of team. Nothing was ever too much trouble and the hosts made you feel part of the family straightaway.
The lodge was exceptional, clean, extremely comfortable and beautiful. Having your own outside terrace with all the wildlife literally on your doorstep was magical.
The food prepared by the team was phenomenal, we were blown away with the service and hospitality by the whole team.
We had 2 game drives with Jaun who was fantastic, really knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make sure that we had the most memorable time on safari seeing as much of Kruger and its wildlife as we could squeeze in. Our only regret is not staying longer.
- Kerstin (10/5): -
- Sebastien (10/5): Magique et magnifique ! - Nous avons passé un séjour de 3 nuits incroyable !
Tout d’abord ce lodge est très bien placé avec une vue sur la rivière qui délimite le parc de Kruger et les animaux sont nombreux à venir nous rendre une petite visite (moments magiques). Le logement est confortable et bien décoré ce qui nous met dans l’ambiance brousse des que l’on arrive. Les safari / game drive organisés sont supers ! (Véhicule, guides, etc) et l’expérience du braai sud africain directement sur le barbecue de notre lodge est une expérience très sympa. Enfin, Riëtte et Basil sont des hôtes incroyables alliant gentillesse, prévenance et bienveillance. Nous recommandons chaudement !
- Demi (10/5): Unforgettable experience - We recommend Foxy Crocodile to anyone visiting the Kruger park! The room was amazing, the staff was incredibly friendly, and the kudu’s and impala’s right in front of you while in the pool is truly unique. We had the game drive with braai, and this was a fantastic experience. The guide/ranger knew a lot, and with his enthusiasm he made the trip even more enjoyable. On top of that, we were able to spot the big five in the first 3 hours. The remaining 5 hours we had incredible sights of all different kind of animals in the wild, while simultaneously respecting that it is their area that we are solely visiting. The braai afterwards was delicious: a perfect way to finish off a perfect stay. Thank you to everyone involved, it was unforgettable! Nothing!
- Heverton (10/5): Unforgettable stay — comfort, nature, and heart-warming hospitality! 💚 - A truly warm and genuine welcome from everyone! The lodge is beautiful — peaceful, comfortable, tastefully decorated, and even has a private outdoor shower. The wildlife around makes it magical. Ruette and her team are wonderful — kind, caring, and always ready to help. We had a car issue and she immediately assisted us with such kindness and generosity. A service that really stands out! Nothing — everything was perfect!
- Mandisa (10/5): -
- Mauro Mattivi (1/5): Posto splendido, padrona " avida di soldi! "💸 - A tutto lo Staff delle persone di colore che ci hanno preparato la colazione e cotto la T Bone l'ultima sera, complimenti per il vostro sorriso e la vostra cordialita'. Desideriamo esprimere il nostro disappunto riguardo all'atteggiamento della titolare del Foxy Bush Lodge. Dopo aver sostenuto una spesa superiore a 1100 € (equivalenti a 22000 Rand) per un soggiorno di quattro notti con safari incluso, ci è stata richiesta la restituzione di tre thermos da caffè, con la pretesa di un pagamento di 260 Rand (13 €) per ciascuno, da saldare tramite carta di credito. Avevamo precedentemente manifestato allo staff delle pulizie l'intenzione di acquistarli, ritenendo scorretto includerli nel bagaglio senza preavviso. Difatti il giorno della partenza abbiamo celermente avvisato lo staff del lodge che avevamo intenzione di includere nel conto finale i tre thermos da caffe' che volevamo portarci in Italia.Tac!Dopo neanche 5 min di orologio e' arrivato il conto da pagare prima di 280 Rand l'uno aggiornato poco dopo a 260 Rand, insomma 780 Rand(39 €) .A questo punto ci siamo sentiti presi in giro e nella speranza che la padrona del lodge facesse un passo indietro consapevole del suo errore di poterceli lasciare a fronte di una spesa, ripeto superiore a 1100 € cosa che non e' avvenuta gli li abbiamo riconsegnati nelle sue mani che immediatamente gli ha ripresi e custoditi gelosamente.Ciliegina finale, l'ultima sera avevamo chiesto di cucinarci la T-Bone per le 19.00 della sera.Tac! Dopo 5 min e' arrivato il conto della cena da pagare con la faccina dello smile piangente quando dovevamo ancora consumare la cena.Pazzesco!Alla larga da queste persone cosi' avide di soldi.Mai piu'!
- Theo Kemps (10/5): - ALLES! Fantastische hosts Riëtte and Basil, fantastisch personeel, heerlijke braai en uitmuntende gamedrives. Het ontbreekt je aan niets. Het voelt als een tweede thuis in Zuid-Afrika. You are amazing!
- Michael (8/5): Gute Lage für Safari, tolle Eigentümer, die freundlich unterstützen. - Sehr freundliche Inhaber und auch das Service-Personal.
Wir sind durch Stau erst abends nach dem Dineer angekommen, wurden trotzdem sehr freundlich willkommen geheißen und auch noch bekocht. L
- pascale (10/5): I would easily live there for 6 months - We liked everything. Basil and Riette welcomed us with open arms and the bungalow was simply perfect: spacious, well furnished, clean and comfortable. Jean , our guide, was the best ever and gave us two amazing safari full day ( 11 hours!!!!) drives. We saw leopards, cheetahs, elephants, caméléons, lions coupling, honey beagles, giraffes, etc. Dazzling experience!! Nothing
- COCOCORNILY (9/5): -
- Julia (10/5): Tolle und komfortable Unterkunft in der Nähe des Krüger Nationalparks - Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt! Die Unterkunft wird mit sehr viel Mühe und Herzblut von den Besitzern geführt. Unser Zimmer war groß und hatte sowohl eine eigenen Außenbereich mit Terasse, Pool und Feuerstelle als auch einer eigenen Outdoor-Dusche. Vor der Terasse konnten wir auch einige Tiere beobachten. Das Essen wurde auf der eigenen Terrasse serviert und auch die vegetarische Option war kein Problem.
Die organisierten Safaris waren toll - wir haben Frühstücksboxen mitbekommen und hatten einen tollen Guide, der sich sehr viel Mühe gegeben hat! Durch die Nähe zum Krüger Nationalpark (15 Minuten Fahrt) war auch eine eigene Safari kein Problem.
- Elri (10/5): -
- Gunta (10/5): - I really felt like I was on the most wonderful vacation at Foxy Crocodile Bush Lodge. I received a very warm welcome. The surroundings were magical and the lodge was beautifully decorated. The bed was very comfortable and I especially enjoyed using the outdoor shower. I also ate vegetarian meals there in the evenings and the food was delicious. Basil told me a lot about Kruger National Park and gave me some good recommendations. I was also offered assistance in case I had any difficulties with my car during the self-drive-safari.
In addition, I went on a wonderfully guided safari tour organized by the hosts.
You will actually be able to see the animals from the moment you arrive, and during the day you can take a lovely walk along the river that flows past the lodge.
The hosts also helped me a lot during a difficult time and I felt like part of their family. I believe that these hosts are unique and special, and I am very grateful and happy that I stayed at Foxy Crocodile Bush Lodge. I really can recommend this lodge to everyone.
- Marine (10/5): Très bon séjour en couple et safaris. - Super endroit ! L’emplacement est idéal dans Marloth Park (vous pouvez voir des girafes ou kudus ou autre dans le village). Il y a aussi une sorte de promenade le long de la rivière où vous pouvez voir des animaux, c’est très agréable.
L’établissement est très bien, propre et moderne. La wifi dans la villa qui marche super bien. On a réservé 2 safaris le matin avec Pierre notre guide, c’était super, un amoureux de la nature! La piscine est bien et suffisante. Les animaux autour viennent manger sans aucun soucis et on peut les observer de prêt. Pour finir, le dernier soir on a fait un braai, c’était très bon.
Tout le personnel est adorable, polie et travaille bien. Les gérants aussi, sont toujours disponibles et accueillant pour les clients. Je recommande vivement cet établissement.
Pour notre part on avait loué un voiture depuis
Johannesburg, en 4h30 on y était et on a tous une place de parking.
- Roni Djeison (10/5): The lodge is perfect - We would like to leave our excellent recommendation for Foxy Crocodile Bush Lodge.
The lodge is perfect — extremely clean, fully equipped with everything you may need, a very comfortable bed, quiet, and with a beautiful view of Kruger National Park. We spent two amazing nights there. The entire staff is extremely polite and very helpful — they took care of everything with great attention! And make sure you don’t miss the excellent Braai prepared by them — it was an unforgettable experience!
We highly recommend doing the safari offered by Foxy Crocodile Bush Lodge. Our guide, Jhony, was spectacular — and we managed to spot four of the Big Five.
To conclude this review, we want to express our deep gratitude to Riëtte and Basil. They were both incredible and played a very important role in making our trip to South Africa unforgettable. Even before we arrived, Riëtte provided us with full support, helping us with all our questions about the accommodation, safari, and transportation to the lodge. During our stay, Basil also welcomed us with great care and shared several tips about the safari.
This was easily our favorite stay in South Africa — we felt so welcomed, and we can’t wait to return!
If you want to have an amazing experience in Marloth Park, we strongly recommend staying at Foxy Crocodile Bush Lodge! All good!
- María (10/5): Lovely, peaceful and comfortable lodge - This lovely rustic lodge is located in the middle of nature, where you can see kudus and hear bird songs. Very close to Kruger national park entrance, it is managed by a lovely couple who are attentive of your every need. Food is very nice and the safari ranger is extremely knowledgable and nice. Highly recommended!
- Marlene (10/5): Ein großartiger Aufenthalt, an den wir uns noch sehr lange mit viel Freude erinnern werden! - Wir haben 4 Nächte in der Foxy Lodge verbracht und hatten wirklich einen wundervollen Aufenthalt! Die Besitzer sind unfassbar herzlich und haben immer sichergestellt, dass es uns an nichts fehlt. Und auch das restliche Team ist wirklich toll. Die Zimmer sind großartig, die Betten sehr gemütlich und das hausgemachte Essen einfach köstlich. Ein besonderes Highlight sind auch die Tiere, die tagtäglich direkt vor der Lodge auftauchen (von Giraffen bis Elefanten war alles dabei). Wir haben mehrere Morgen- und Nachmittags-Safaris über die Lodge gebucht, was wir ebenfalls wärmstens empfehlen können.
- Ludivine (10/5): - Le confort des chambres
La gentillesse des hôtes qui ont été très accueillants et adorables
Voir des Kudu, phacochère et impalas devant notre porte!!
Petits déjeuner très copieux et les dîners étaient excellents, particulièrement le braai , la viande était délicieuse Nous avons moins aimé l’environnement autour du lodge,
- Ramon (10/5): - Acomodação impecável, anfitriões maravilhosos. Também fechamos Safari e jantar com o hotel. Tudo limpo, lindo e organizado. Nota 1000!
- Martin (10/5): ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Wir waren im Oktober 2025 für vier Nächte in der Foxy Crocodile Lodge und es war einfach traumhaft. Das kleine Häuschen war sehr sauber und wurde täglich gereinigt, ebenso der Pool, der immer in perfektem Zustand war.
Die Gastgeber waren unglaublich liebevoll und aufmerksam, haben uns wirklich jeden Wunsch von den Lippen abgelesen. Wir haben dort unsere Flitterwochen verbracht und hätten uns keinen schöneren Ort wünschen können.
Die Safaris waren ein absolutes Highlight. Wir machten eine Nachmittagssafari und zwei Ganztagestouren, alle hervorragend organisiert mit ausreichend Getränken und Snacks. Unser Guide Pierre war offen, witzig und sehr kompetent, einfach ein Erlebnis.
Auch kulinarisch blieben keine Wünsche offen. Die Frühstückspakete für die Safaris waren lecker und praktisch, das Abendessen im Zimmer reichlich und köstlich. Besonders das Bush Braai mit dem perfekt gegrillten T-Bone-Steak war ein Genuss. Selbst am frühen Abreisetag wurde uns sofort ein liebevoll zusammengestelltes Frühstückspaket angeboten.
Die Lage ist ideal, nur etwa zehn Minuten vom Crocodile Bridge Gate des Krüger Nationalparks entfernt und mit Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in kurzer Distanz.
Wir haben die Zeit hier von Herzen genossen. Dieser Ort ist wirklich etwas ganz Besonderes. Wir werden ganz sicher wiederkommen und können die Lodge jedem nur wärmstens empfehlen. Alles perfekt.
- Victor (10/5): - We stayed for 3 nights at the the lodge and it was wonderful! The lodge was very neat/ clean and a lot of space! The dining was also a great experience, especially the last night, when the staff made a delicious “braai” for us! The whole team is very polite and friendly!
We also recommend booking the safari through the lodge. We booked 3 day Safaris and it was great! Pierre our guide and driver was excellent and knew all the good spots!
In the evening a lot of animals are grazing on the lawn, what makes is a great experience when you're chilling in the pool or terrace!
We fell in love with the kruger park and the lodge! We highly recommend it, it won't disappoint!!
- Vanessa (10/5): - Es war eine traumhaft schöne Unterkunft direkt gegenüber vom Krüger Nationalpark.
Der kleine Pool war bezaubernd und die ganze Einrichtung typisch Honeymoon-Feeling!
Es kamen jeden Tag so viele Tiere direkt zu unserer Terrasse, wir waren traurig als wir abreisen mussten.
- Veronique (10/5): - We hebben een fantastische tijd gehad!
De locatie is prachtig met een schitterend uitzicht over het Kruger National Park en we zagen zelfs veel dieren vlak voor onze accommodatie! De eigenaren waren ontzettend vriendelijk, net als het personeel. We hadden twee safari’s en een braai geboekt, dit was allemaal tot in de puntjes geregeld. Het privézwembad was ook heerlijk. We kijken met veel plezier terug op ons verblijf hier! Niks :)
- Jonay (10/5): Idílico alojamiento cerca de cocrodile - Idílico alojamiento, el personal y los dueños son increíbles y las instalaciones y el entorno también. Sus safaris son altamente recomendables
- Michael (10/5): - Very nice houses. The furnishings are as good as new. Everything is neat, tidy and clean. The team is very warm and friendly. It feels as if we have known each other for a long time.
The guided game drives are highly recommended.
I am very satisfied and sad to have to leave again after 4 nights. I can highly recommend this place. Located in the middle of nature. The animals practically come right up to the window. You will have a good time. Nothing!!!
- Johan (10/5): -
- Ariadne (10/5): -
- Amanda (10/5): Absolute perfection! We can’t wait to return! - The owners and their team are all beautiful people. The accommodation is perfect - extremely spacious, comfortable, clean and thoughtfully curated to feel modern and also homely. The location is amazing - direct views into Kruger while non-predatory animals roam freely around the grounds. And wonderful home cooking for both breakfast and dinner. Nothing!
- Maurice (9/5): - Sehr freundliches Personal, super leckeres selbstgekochtes Essen und Tiere direkt im Garten gehabt und Blick auf den Kruger Park. War eine sehr tolle Unterkunft.
- Lisa (10/5): Zuhause weit weg von zuhause - Tolles, großes Apartment mit eigenem Pool fernab von Autoverkehr oder Menschenmassen und direkt am Krüger Nationalpark gelegen. Es kommen gelegentlich Tiere vorbei. Wir hatten das Glück und hatten Giraffen direkt vor der Haustür. Wir haben jeden Abend in der Unterkunft gegessen was sehr empfehlenswert ist. Am letzten Abend hatten wir das T-Bone Steak. Es wurde direkt auf der Terrasse unseres Apartment zubereitet und war super lecker. Das Personal sowie die Besitzer sind unglaublich freundlich und hilfsbereit. Auch die Safari Touren haben wir über die Unterkunft gebucht und können es sehr weiterempfehlen.
Alles in allem hatten wir eine unvergessliche Zeit und können die Lodge zu 101% weiterempfehlen. Wir werden definitiv wiederkommen!
- emiliano (10/5): Sentirsi a casa dall'altra parte del mondo.. - Sentirsi a casa dall'altra parte del mondo..
Foxy Crocodile Bridge & Safari's per noi resterà un luogo meraviglioso e un'esperienza indimenticabile.
I proprietari sono persone fantastiche, ci hanno coccolato durante tutto il nostro soggiorno.
La cura nei dettagli, l'amore per il proprio lavoro, la professionalità, la simpatia, la pulizia e la sicurezza sono segni distintivi di questo posto.
Sia la colazione che la cena vengono servite direttamente nell'alloggio con un servizio impeccabile e sono buonissime (vi consigliamo vivamente di provare la carne alla griglia, che vuene cucinata direttamente per voi nel vostro giardino!).
La location, sita al confine con il Kruger Park, è incantevole.
L'alloggio è bellissimo, luminoso e spazioso.
E' normale vedere animali innocui passeggiare liberi nelle vicinanze della struttura (zebre, antilopi, springboks, facoceri ecc...).
Una mattina ci siamo svegliati con ben 9 zebre che mangiavano tranquillamente davanti al nostro giardino e fare colazione con loro è stata un'emozione grandissima che porteremo sempre con noi.
Organizzano anche degli ottimi safari all'interno del Kruger Park.
Noi ne abbiamo fatti due e siamo riusciti a vedere i big five ma anche tantissimi altri animali.
Complimenti anche a tutto lo staff del Foxy, sempre gentile, educato e disponibile.
Grazie di cuore.
Emiliano e Alessia
- Karin (10/5): Geweldig - Alles is heel goed bevallen..
De eigenaren zijn zulke lieve en behulpzame mensen…
De lodge is geweldig, heel mooi ingericht.
Heel goed bed, met muskietennet..
Wij hebben de eerste avond een normaal diner gehad, wat heerlijk was.
En de tweede avond een braai met een T-bone , echt heerlijk.
Het ontbijt was ook heel uitgebreid.
Wij hebben via de crocodile lodge een game drive gedaan, met Pierre als gids.
Hij weet heel veel te vertellen..
Het leukste van alles waren alle dieren die langs kwamen ..
Zoals giraffes, koedoes, zebra’s, wilde beesten en wratten zwijnen🐗
Foxy crocodile lodge is ten zeerste aan te raden. Alles was goed
