I do not have enough words to describe how fantastic our stay was! Right from the booking process everything just went so smoothly with Buckler's! They even booked our nightdrive and bushwalk with the Kruger National Park when we were unable to reach the Park ourselves. The chalets/rooms are so awesome - cozy, homely, clean. They have the most fantastic... More

We arrived at Bucklers having only booked one night (unfortunately) and Sheryl and OJ were more than welcoming even though we arrived late. The next day we awoke to stunning views across the Kruger and spent the morning relaxing by the pool, whilst spotting game across the crocodile river. The accomodation was excellent, spotlessly clean and more than adequate. We... More

This is the Kruger you have dreamed of; but, without the outrageous price. Location, location, location. Although a safari excursion into the park should be done, wildlife can be viewed from the lawn right outside your door. In the morning we watched cape buffalo taking a soak in the river and in the late afternoon a group of elephants came... More

We've spent 5 nights at Buckler's Africa Lodge. Cheryl, OJ, Kert and the staff offered us all we wanted. The setting is fabulous, 3 of the big fivers were visible from the pool or during breakfast on the main terrace. An adress to remember and we'll go back as soon as we can.

Buckler’s offers luxurious accommodation with a view of the Kruger. We were so fortunate to receive the ‘best room in the house’, to our opinion. With a private deck, two bedrooms, 2 bathrooms with outdoor shower, a well equipped kitchen, a lovely living area and easy access to the parking space. Be prepared to see all kinds of animals, and...

We stayed for 4 nights at Buckler's Africa and we would have loved staying there for much longer. The friendly staff, the wonderful breathtaking views, the spacious and clean cottages. Everything was perfect! It was so special starting your day with viewing elephants or hippos in/at the river. It was even better than we expected from the website! We would... More

We were warmly welcomed by Cheryl and OJ upon arrival, a family of hippos were frolicking right in front of the pooldeck in the river! The cottage was spacious, clean and well equipped. Airconditioning was a life-saver in the heat, and the outdoor showers is a very nice touch. The staff are helpful, friendly and discreet, the Kruger Park is... More

Cheryl, thank you for the wonderful stay at Buckler's Africa. This is probably one of the most beautiful places on earth. You can watch the animals from your bed and you can make a barbecue in the evenings. We felt very welcome and it was very interesting to have some conversations with Cheryl. She takes great care of her guests... More

A very well managed and laid out Lodge overlooking the Crocadile River and the Kruger National Park. For this quality of accomodation you would pay over double inside the Park and yet you are 5 mins drive from the Criocadile Bridge entrance. Add to that, the raised vistor of the Park, its animals and birds from your breakfast table, swimming... More
