Spent a few days there in October last year with the family. Absolutely great from the beginning till the end. What a perfect location, you can see the wild animals while lying in bed. Also the open outside shower is not to miss. Can just recommend it!

We started our trip to South Africa staying for two nights in one of Buckler's amazing apartments, and it was a perfect start for a journey. Buckler's is located on the Crocodile River, and on our first morning in South Africa we were watching a family of elephants who came down to the river for drink and bath! It was... More

I paid a bit more than I'm used to to spend a night there with my little family but paying one less day of Kruger Park's daily fees for 3 persons convinced me it was worth going there instead of paying the fees + a night at crocodile bridge restcamp. The place is absolutely wonderful and so peaceful, the view... More

Very friendly. Rooms are spacious and the views of the river great. Lots of game pass by and approach the lodge. Easy access to the Kruger Park.It is reasonably priced for the area. You can also do tours of the Kruger direct from the lodge or organise at Crocodile Gate with the Parks rangers for early morning or evening

The location is superb but so is the service and hospitality. We could not have been treated better in terms of the quality and size of the room, advice on restaurants in Komapitiport and an excellent breakfast sat outside watching the hippos active in the river and the fantastic bird life. (This is a must location for twitchers). One night... More
