    The location is incredible ,its right on the river front just opposite the Kruger Park. The amount of game you are able to see just sitting on the deck or veranda is amazing. Staying at Hennies Rest was an experience. Cornelia was an amazing host.

    We really enjoyed staying here. The elephants came right up to the deck. At night, we heard lions nearby. It’s a magical place. The view from the deck is the Kruger National Park, and it’s exciting looking out the window in the morning knowing...

I am a on the go busy mother of three lovely children. I enjoy everything outdoors from wildlife to birding and are always keen to learn more.
This is a quiet family friendly neighborhood. You can still walk in the streets and you will see kids riding their bicycles.
