Relaxing!
The place is new and thus very clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. The staff was very friendly. The food was excellent. I only wish I could have stayed longer than one night. I had some problems with the directions but once I finally arrived, I really enjoyed it!

Real bush experience can spot leopards relatively easily, lovely options for activities in terms of game drives in other private reserves and activities like star gazing tours. Lovely place, lovely staff and the owner goes out of her way to accommodate all requirements.

Fantastic stay can’t wait to go back!!
Amazing stay at Busy Baby, beautiful place to visit with lovely spa and pool area. Really clean, helpful staff (booking spa treatments for us, game rides etc). Really incredible to see zebras and giraffe walk straight through the lodge every day.

Beautiful Hotel Near Kruger
It was a bit different from what we expected, but definitely in a good way. The owners are both Dutch and they were super helpful and kind from the beginning. There are only 6 rooms in total and we stayed in the Elephant Room. The room was spacious, beautiful and clean. We especially appreciate the fact that it had both a fan and and AC, as it could get quite warm in South Africa.

Awesome Lodge close to Big 5 Game Parks and Kruger
I can't recommend this lodge highly enough. They exceed "5" on all levels. New and eager hosts sincerely look after guests and take pride in their property. They have excellent staff whom like to engage with guests. The bungalows and dining area / bar area were well loved spaces where they served up the best breakfast! Quiet and serene, relaxing and luxurious in the wildlife reserve where we saw many animals. Reserve was safe for biking and jogging and very secure premises. Nice pool as well. which was relaxing to sit around in the winter as it was a little chilly for actual swimming! I would suggest this Lodge as a stepping stone when traveling from Johannesburg to the Kruger National Park. You can comfortably rent a car @ Airport and arrive @ Bush Baby River Resort in afternoon. Have an awesome dinner @ The Hat In the Creek (in town) and return for a luxurious sleep with the National Park only 45 min away drive to take on the next day. Or visit Timbavati Private Game Reserve or take a public safari trip @ Manyeleti Reserve which the owners can arrange.

Aconchegante e típico
Fomos muito bem atendidos pela proprietária, Sra. Ivete. Funcionários atenciosos. O chuveiro fica do lado de fora do quarto aberto ao tempo. À noite aparecem insetos atraídos pela luz.

Não poderíamos ter escolhido melhor lugar em Hoedspruit, Africa do Sul. Equipe simpática, atenciosa, serviço 10! Yvette e Ayla sempre presentes, excelentes anfitriãs. Recomendo muito. Se um dia eu voltar pra fazer um safari, é lá que me hospedarei novamente.
