We recently travelled to Kruger Park and stayed at this little gem, a lodge consisting of cottages with generous space and privacy. It is perfectly situated in a dedicated wild life estate right on the edge of the great Kruger A good starting point for a journey into the bush with lots of things to do in and around Hoedspruit. We did a great bush walk with a very experienced ranger. The staff is friendly and very helpful, services are efficient and one can see a European touch throughout the place. Freddy and Sabine keep it in good shape and continuously add value to products and enhance decorations. Great breakfast, always something new to taste. I would certainly recommend Bushbaby to fellow travelers.

This lodge is an amazing place in the wildlife estate, just come out of your room and you'll see impalas and monkeys running around, and the beautiful birds singing. The rooms are spacious and everything is kept clean, the outdoor shower is also nice, all working properly. Breakfasts are unbelievably delicious, smoothie with banana just incredible!!! Very many thanx to Lani the host, who was so helpful, attentive to everything and even solving my problems which were not on her part.
