It is my fourth visit to this piece of paradise on earth. Each time I fall in love with Mjejane a bit more. The Lodge is equipped with everything you need to stay in luxury. The game viewing vehicle is an added bonus. A special mention to Samuel the expert Game Ranger & Futi the Lodge Housekeeper. Two superb humans that will cater for your every need. Fantastic seven days spend with wife and friends

Absolutely loved my week that I spent there. What a magical place. House was perfect with everything one needs and position and view over the river was stunning!! Staff were brilliant and friendly. Game driver was knowledgeable and we always felt safe with him when out and about with the animals.
I didn't want to leave! Hope to go back one day!!

We had a 7 day stay at Crocodile bend. We had the best time at the beautiful home overlooking the river. Lots of activity on the river. We saw crocodile, elephants, impala, giraffe, warthog & amazing bird species all just from sitting by the pool. Our game drives with the dedicated ranger, Sam, were incredible and we saw the big 5. Footie took great care of the cleaning up to ensure we had a relaxing stay. Highly recommend Crocodile bend and we will be back for sure.
