Luxury of Choice

At RiverBend Lodge, your safari is shaped around you. Wake early for a sunrise drive or linger by the pool until the afternoon. Dine together under the stars or on your veranda in complete privacy. With no day visitors and a malaria-free setting, you are free to explore uncrowded landscapes and encounter wildlife in a way that feels both personal and unhurried.

Beauty of the Wild

Discover a luxury safari lodge on a private concession within Addo Elephant National Park. Five diverse biomes, from Zuurberg Mountain to Sundays River, create a sanctuary for wildlife and a home for unforgettable memories, where the rhythms of the bush set the pace.

Tailored for you

RiverBend Collection is crafted to give you the comfort of home, the beauty of the bush, and the rare luxury and freedom to choose how your stay is tailored to you. Choose from elegant suites designed for couples, spacious family suites, or our exclusive use villa.

Guided by this vision, we are rewilding former farmland, protecting wildlife, and creating opportunities that uplift local communities.
