Members of FinishTime’s management team enjoyed a getaway at Burchells Bush Lodge and according to them, the lodge lives up to its claim of being “the perfect destination for a family getaway.” As well as being a great place to escape from the chaos of everyday life, this is an ideal place to stay if you’ve come to the Lowveld to visit Kruger National Park. Being located just 1km from the park’s Paul Kruger gate means that, if you’re exceptionally lucky, you can be just minutes away from your first Big Five sighting when you get into your car outside Burchells Bush Lodge.
The accommodation on offer includes a one or two-bedroom chalet, the larger of which boasts a loft. Both feature comfortable queen-sized beds and the two-bedroom chalet offers a second bedroom with twin beds and its own en-suite bathroom. Mosquito nets added to the comfort of our stay and the open-plan lounge area was a great place to relax.

The factors that our team loved about Burchells Bush Lodge included the setting and ambience as well as the comfortable beds and chalets and the attention to detail offered by the staff and owners. We will certainly visit again when we can.
