Positive: The scenery is breathtaking, staff attentive and professional with a personal touch. Chef Mandla prepares the most delicious meals catering to even the most pickiest tastes. Each dish was a flavour feast! Simon’s knowledge of the bush and the animals are amazing and the sunrise and sundowner drinks are memorable. He is a wise man. Tumi and her team tended to our every need and made sure our rooms were always clean.
Negative: Some of the roads in the reserve are very bumpy but that is not the Lodge’s fault. Simon navigates them with ease.
Summary: A family trip that will stay with us forever. Thank you Riverine Lodge.

Positive: Our stay at the Riverine Lodge exceeded all our expectations. When we booked, we were like "surely, this looks too good to be true?", but it was all we could ever wish for! The food was amazing, the staff was super friendly and our room and lodge were truly an oasis. However, our guide was what made our trip unforgettable. If you have the pleasure and honour to be guided through Welgevonden by Simon, you are really really lucky and I'm quite jealous of you! He is the kindest, most knowledgeable and friendliest guide we've ever came across. Please show him all the love! Long story short, whenever you get the chance; book this stay ASAP!
Negative: Nothing at all!
Summary: Simon's the best!

Positive: What an incredible stay at Riverine Lodge, we had amazing adventurous sightings we saw the big 5 in 1 day, Petrus is such a wonderful kind and amazing person we enjoyed our game drives with him so much. The food at this lodge is incredible, the chefs are really talented and serve beautiful dishes, the boma night was such a lovely highlight to our three days. Tumi and Josephine are so lovely and sweet, they really made us feel welcome and were always there to welcome us back from game drives. Tumi gives absolutely incredible massages too, she sets up in your room with her mobile spa and it was such a great highlight to our trip! The view from the rooms is awesome!
Negative: We loved everything, the lodge is quite hidden and quite far east of the reserve, it can take a little while to get back to the lodge but it just means more time in the bushveld, the roads in welgevonden are super bumpy and adventurous sometimes you are climbing up mountainous paths so prepare yourselves to embrace the adventure!
Summary: Beautiful gem
