As
those
that
read
my
reviews
know,
I
dish-out
the
brick-bats
as
well
as
the
bouquets.
This
is
the
bouquet
to
beat
them
all.
Truth
is,
I’m
almost
reluctant
to
post
this,
as
I
worry
that
too
many
people
will
swamp
these
guys
and
we’ll
miss
out
next
time
we
visit
South
Africa.
Every
now
and
again
(as
in
once-in-a-decade),
you
experience
such
an
unforgettable
experience,
that
it
stays
with
your
forever.
That
was
the
stay
at
Crocodile
Bridge
Lodge.
No,
it’s
not
five
star.
No,
there’s
no
alacarte
restaurant,
or
a
bar-man,
or
porters,
or
spa-baths.
What
you
have,
was
a
stay
a
that
is
a
bit
like
a
week
at
your
favourite
aunt’s
place,
when
you
were
a
kid.
The
rooms
are
simple,
basic,
immaculately
clean
and
equiped
with
fridge,
microwave
and
cutlery
etc.
And
no
need
to
use
any
of
that
!
Your
daily
room
rate
includes
a
fully
cooked
breakfast
and
a
dinner
that
will
knock
your
socks
off.
A
big
barbecue
every
night
and
so
much
food,
you
can’t
fit
in
dessert.
The
“bar”
is
a
fridge
full
of
the
basics,
which
works
on
an
honour
system
!
I
kid
you
not
!
Help
yourself
and
fill
in
the
clip-board
on
the
fridge
door.
You
can
drive
a
few
hundred
metres
to
the
Kruger
gate
or,
park
yourself
on
the
deck
and
observe
the
animals
in
the
river.
Our
room
is
literally,
3
metres
from
the
Kruger
Park
electric
fence.
In
the
evening
a
mother
elephant
and
her
bub
came
up
to
the
fence
to
say
hello.
Amazing.
Oh
yeah,
our
sleep
was
interrupted
a
couple
of
times
with
hippos
carrying
on
grunting,
with
those
damned
Lions
roaring..
amazing…
The
host/mangers
“Gee”
and
“Natasha”
are
the
nicest
South
Africans
you
will
ever
meet
and
will
do
anything
to
help,
without
being
intrusive.
The
price
per
day
was
ridiculous
for
what
we
received.
Incredibly,
what
we
would
pay
for
a
decent
grocery
shop
back
home,
covered
our
entire
stay
there
(for
2)
for
5
nights.
I
N
C
R
E
D
I
B
L
E
!
Enough
raving,
I’m
off
for
dinner
with
the
gang
here
at
Crocodile
Bridge
Lodge.
