Ample and well located for early game drive Don't expect a gold crown, dry, dull grounds, compared to lush neighbouring kruger. Noisy from road with neighbours right on top of us. No privacy hear every word. Limited facilies although avaliable next door hotel. Close to Kruger. Many units empty in school holidays says something ?

Brilliant all around experience.Excellent location from which to go into KNP. Staff were super friendly, chalets were immaculate and nothing was too much trouble for them. Excellent all around experience. Only point i would make is that they try and get internet access. Other than that, had an awesome time. Will definitely be back. By the way , KNP was... More

We visited Burchell's Lodge 3 years ago and had a wonderful experience. We cant wait for the beginning of June to return there. Absolutely wonderful! On visiting there you must make provision for the necessary food and drinks if you want to save money and time, but it is definately worth it. Come June!!!!! w

We spent a week at Burchells Bush Lodge and what a fantastic time we had. We stayed in a 2 bedroom loft cottage that was nicely decorated with an African theme. The cottage was clean, the kitchen well stocked and the air conditioning was well appreciated in the summer heat. I loved the fact that the cottages were so private.... More

Spent an enthralling week at Burchell's. We did not have a problem at all with the staff. Very friendly and helpful. I did not want to come back home. What a beautiful atmosphere.

The lodge is safari themed and the biggest draw is that it is right at the Kruger Gate. The staff are friendly, but only if you ask. We visited the lodge as part of a timeshare exchange program. Our biggest drawback was the fact that the units are only partially air-conditioned. The loft and the living area which includes the... More

Stayed at Burchell's Bush Lodge via RCI exchange. Staff were fantastic - all very friendly and helpful. Our fridge quit, and one phone call later, manager was there and determined we needed another one, and 10 min. later, they delivered it. We spent most of our time driving through Kruger National Park in an air conditioned car. It was hot... More

The theme is safari & being next to the famous Kruger Park. We thoroughly enjoyed the lodge we stayed in for a week. It was quiet & well taken care. The staff was helpful but only when you asked. One must be self sufficient here. The store is far away so buy groceries on your way in. We ate our... More
