Remote location in the heart of the bushveld with beautiful river views perfect for game viewing from you room and the main areas of the lodge. Great hosts and stunning setting, a place you can really rewind.

Brad and Cindy are wonderful hosts taking care of absolutely everything, the camp and accommodation is fantastic. As you walk in you are immediately relaxed and ready for safari! The game viewing experience was truly sensational, Brad and Willem's extensive experience of the the African wildlife and the game reserve enabled our group to see the Big Five up close, a very special experience. From the early morning game drives to the late into the night exchange of animal sightings and stories around the campfire all is taken care! South Africa at its best, Thanks Brad, Cindy and Team for a wonderful family holiday and experience.

Toro river lodges is unlike any place I have ever visited. Everything from the rooms, food to company is completely top of the line. The experience you get at Toro can’t be matched anywhere else. To see all of the big 5 animals up close from the comfort of a beautiful game vehicle in a place that is truly the last wild frontier of South Africa. My favorite experience other than the warm and comfortable lodge is being able to photograph some of the amazing animals that we saw. Lions elephants up close is truly incredible. Can’t recommend this lodge enough!
