"Super, comfortable and relaxing and awesome staff who went out of their way to assist us due to mobility health issues. Caring and very considerate."

"Excellent place. Very clean and tidy always smells fresh and clean. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice view. Spacious rooms. Aircons work. Food was great and we had a good time"

"Enjoyed our weekend here as a launching point for day trips to kruger. The family room was quite spacious and the staff was exceptionally friendly. The outside area was a quiet and appealing place to watch the animals come down to the river. Elephant encounters were common including an elephant pass by literally meters from the restaurant. Food was also quite good. My only recommendation would be to extend the wifi from the common areas to the lodge rooms. Highly recommend "

"Goed hotel, mooie ruime kamers, uitzicht was super, keek zo op het Krugerpark. Veel dieren gezien. Zowel ontbijt als diner waren goed verzorgt. WiFi werkte slecht. "

"Excellent situated to visit KNP.Wonderfull view onto the Olifants river where wildlife is passing by.Rooms very clean.Beautifull outside restaurant with great food.Very kind and friendly staff.

"I had the privilege of staying at Rio Vista during the last week - fantastic rooms, fabulous views, very attentive staff. Highly recommended."

"Just outside the Malelane Kruger gate, this spot was a pleasant stop over. Affordable, clean and comfortable. On the first night we had drinks at the deck restaurant and saw elephants grazing underneath us as we sipped our drinks."

"I've stayed here a few times during business trips. Always great and friendly service. Clean rooms and the food at the restaurant is great."

"Stayed for 3 nights at this establishment. Picture perfect close to nature and very neat. The Kruger Park and town is close by which makes this a perfect location.

"Not so personal due to big property with many rooms, good food, nice viewing deck, perfect location.

Experienced 2 water outages due to bursting pipes in the community, not the fault of the management"

"I had a very pleasant stay at Rio Vista and would recommend it to other people, I also would love to go back in the feature."

"We were well received and shown to our beautiful room on ground floor as requested! Very clean and well managed after a 3 day visit in Kruger Park Lodges! We really enjoyed our meal and scenery, really special. We would really recommend to our friends."

"Thank you Rio Vista Lodge for a great time!!!! We loved every minute of our stay. The breakfast packs you gave us was fresh and very tasty, thank you so much. We WILL be back."

"We had a lovely overnight stay at this resort. The rooms are comfortable and very clean. We had a superb breakfast and dinner at the restaurant which has a beautiful view over the Crocodile river. Highly recommended for overnight or longer. We will certainly be going back for a longer period."

"Rooms well equipped, neat and clean

Friendly staff. If we need to stop over in Malelane again this will be the place!"

"Just want to thank the staff at Rio Vista Lodge for their friendly service and hospitality. We made a last minute booking due to unforeseen circumstances and our request for availability was dealt with quickly and efficiently.

Thank you to Anita for showing care and concern to all the guests by greeting and chatting.

We'll definitely recommend the accommodation to friends and would love to come stay again in future."

"I liked the modern effect the lodge has. It was very cozy and relaxing. Staff friendly and nice. I enjoyed it indeed and wouldn't mind going back again. "

"The service was great and my room was clean and decorated nicely. There is a restaurant on the premises that made delicious food. I would go back and recommend to other people."

"Clean, well priced, good service, hands-on owners, friendly staff, good food, close to Malelane gate overlooking Kruger National Park. Will definitely go back for another holiday."

"We can recommend a stay at the Rio Vista Lodge in Malelane. And when you stay it is a must to eat at The Deck, an outdoor restaurant facing the Krüger Parc. Excellent food and good atmosphere. Rooms are clean, air conditioner works and WiFi is available. Overall very good service!"

"I had a good stay at Rio Vista. The only comment I do have is that they can give quicker service in the dining area."

"I had a really excellent stay at this accommodation and would definitely visit again. I have already recommended the place to others."

"We had a lovely stay at Rio Vista Lodge and would revisit or recommend this guesthouse"

"Unfortunately we were only there for 1 night as we were off into the Kruger Park early the next morning. However it was a lovely place to stay (after a long journey from the UK) and next time I visit the Kruger Park I will stay longer. "

"Very good relationship between price and quality. The local where you eat the meals (little restaurant) is...amazing, fantastic.The rooms are very clean. "
