About Waterbuck Lodge

Nestled within the Thornybush Nature Reserve which forms part of the Greater Kruger National Park, Waterbuck Lodge embraces the lush undergrowth around the lodge which is evident in the continual flow of water all year round.

This quaint, quiet lodge offers a universal approach to guests needs allowing for small groups, honeymooners, couples, single travelers and is ideal for exclusive use bookings by families. The comfortable lounge and open-plan dining area leads to an elevated outdoor deck which is the perfect place to take in the magnificent sounds of the African Bush. The lodge’s very private family size swimming pool offers guests a home-away-from home setting.

All Suites at Waterbuck Lodge have been perfectly positioned to afford privacy. With a choice of 4 spacious, fully air-conditioned Suites all with generous bathrooms and an outdoor shower, spectacular views of the African bushveld are easily accessible. Daybeds situated on the outdoor deck area allow guests a relaxing and comfortable way to unwind between game drives, taking in the African Sun.

At night, the lodge comes alive with an abundance of night lights perfectly set up around the lodge and leading to the Boma where fire side dining is an African art-form. Meals are an occasion to be celebrated open-air style.
