Top choice in Mpumalanga
Perched right on the park boundary, this cracking gay-friendly lodge is a great place to relax pre or post Kruger, perhaps with views of wallowing hippos from the thatched riverside terrace. The 12 cool rooms have their own balconies, from which you can see all the way into the park.
Friendly owner Johan 'Daff' Daffue built and decorated the idiosyncratic, antique-packed lodge, with its bikes hanging from the dining-room ceiling and a cosy bar and lounge.
