Bushriver Lodge is uniquely situated amongst the lush naturally endemic riverine vegetation and trees on the banks of the perennial Olifants River, a comfortable drive of some 25 kilometers from the town of Hoedspruit in the Limpopo Province of South Africa. Bushriver Lodge offers guests self-catering accommodation in luxury, air-conditioned units/chalets (with fully equipped kitchens and private braai areas). The main lodge central complex has a very large wooden viewing deck that partially extends over the famous Olifants river which is home to a veritable multitude of hippos, crocodiles, fish, and water birds.
The conserved bushveld in excess of 400 hectares on which the lodge is situated is being expanded significantly with the ongoing removal of km’s of ubiquitous game fencing. Under the passionate, expert and watchful eye of engineer and ecologist, owner Paul Allin and in partnership with local conservation NGOs such as Transfrontier Africa, the reserve is actively rewilding the habitat, thus significantly increasing biodiversity. The reserve offers a multitude of potential activities for guests including but not limited to, birding, self-driven game drives to view amongst others nyala, zebra, giraffe, impala and the many other game species that proliferate the reserve. For the fitness conscious, there are also several walking, running and trail running routes and a mountain biking route is also available. If you are really fortunate, you might even encounter one of the resident, territorial leopard or the pack of African wild dogs that regularly visit the reserve!
Ever innovative, we offer special, rebated tariffs for extended stays to guests upon request. Our chalets and the main lodge are both well equipped with reliable Wifi and working areas which makes Bushriver Lodge the ideal venue for remote work. The tranquillity of the lodge enhances productivity and reduces the interruption factor greatly. Having closed your laptop for the day, enjoy a sundowner on the deck overlooking the river, as if you’re on holiday! Truly, the best of both worlds.
Being centrally situated, Bushriver Lodge is the ideal venue from which to explore the nearby Kruger National Park, the Panorama Route, and the surrounding Lowveld. A wide range of activities are offered or can be arranged to ensure that your stay with us remains as memorable, enjoyable, exciting, and relaxing as possible.
★★★★★ Excellent deck-view of the river ( will be sad in a dry season)Good communal kitchenNeglected bedding with a too-large- for -the-cover-lumpy-old -duvet and sad washed out linen was definitely not good value for the priceRoom not cleaned once in 3days, bush living?

★★★★★ We had an absolutely amazing stay at the Bushriver Lodge. The lodge is so well positioned, right beside the river, we loved spending time on the deck overhanging over the river, we loved relaxing there and watching the sunset or just relaxing in the warm African sun. The service we received was really amazing; they were so friendly and helpful all the time. We also thoroughly enjoyed the game walk... Read more
