Wow, one off the most beautifull place I add a chance to go in Africa. The food is very good, the land where the house are is amazing. It's possible to see zebra, crocodile, hippopotamis, girafe etc. To go there you need to pass in a beautifull plantation.

The Blyde Wilderness Lodge is a lovely little place hidden away on the edge of a river. It takes 15 mins off the main road over gravel tracks to get to the site. Once in the site, we saw zebras and giraffes coming in but didn't see any animals in the river (hippos or crocodiles).
We had some accommodation that had recently been added and, although the website says all accommodation faces the river, ours had a view of the wildlife reserve. However, the rooms were nicely furnished and clean and we had a little kitchenette with a sink and fridge. The food, both breakfast and dinner, was good value and nicely-presented.
The only disturbance we had was the last afternoon when we were sitting having a drink outside of our accommodation and watching the impalas. Some guests arrived that day who seemed to be the owners or friends of the owners (they were later showing off a drone in the bar and told us they had been filming the place). They brought 2 big dogs with them and let them roam around the nature reserve off their leads. I'm terrified of dogs, so this was quite unsettling, but some of the animals were clearly disturbed by this as well. To top it off, one of the dogs defecated in front of us and outside our accommodation, but the owners didn't even bother to clean it up! This rather marred our view of the place after such a good experience.

Fantastic stay! Cabin was very cosy and comfortable. Great service and the food was absolutely fantastic! 7 km gravel drive but so worth is, we saw monkeys, zebras and wildebeest on our way there. Relaxing!
