Gorgeous River Views
A beautiful house in a stunning position overlooking the Crocodile River with unhindered views of Kruger National Park. During 5 days we saw elephant, giraffe and buffalo on the bank opposite and even fed zebra and kudu in the garden. Bird life outstanding. Will definitely return.
