At the River's edge we have a large thatched deck which is the ideal spot from which to enjoy the sights and sounds of the Bushveld. To virtually be on the river with drink in hand whether game spotting or simply enjoying an awesome African sunset is a truly memorable experience. Alternatively laze in the pool or bask in the Malelane sun whilst observing crocodile and hippo in the river below..

Or simply retire to our comfortable lounge with a book when relaxing becomes hard work !!

At River House we do not have television nor radio and most often newspapers are frowned upon – news in our world is when a leopard spotted at the river……
