Spectacular view, decent accommodation and delicious meals. We stayed here in February 2026. The owner does her utmost to help you feel at home. All meals can be bought for a reasonable price and are homemade. Very delicious. All game walks and drives can be arranged. Our guide was Japie (Africa Inside). He did his best. We saw a leopard, lions and a lot of elephants. And the view is spectacular!

Fantastic, saw elephants very close. It is a very nice place, people are friendly and make you feel at home. Saw elephants very close, just as we were getting there. Nice barbecue place.

Fantasties, olifante baie naby gesien. Dit is 'n baie lekker plek, mense is vriendelik en laat mens tuis voel. Het olifante baie naby gesien, sommer toe ons al daar aankom. Lekker braaiplek.

Very nice, friendly staff. Great place for a holiday in the forest.

Baie lekker, vriendelike personeel. Great plek vir 'n vakansie in die bos.

Great relaxing in the forest. We had a great time. Agnus and her team are very friendly and helpful. The extras that have to be paid for make it quite an expensive outing.

Heerlik ontspan in die bos. Ons het baie lekker gekuier. Agnus en haar span is baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig. Die ekstras waarvoor betaal moet word maak dit nogal 'n duur uitspan.

Nice view but not suitable for self-catering or longer than 2 days. The one room was adequate, no self-catering facility, no stove, microwave oven, had to ask for everything, plates etc. after I asked if the self catering. The B&B has the same breakfast every day: omelette with liver. I don't eat it anymore. No pots or proper braai facilities.

Uitsig mooi maar nie geskik vir selfsorg of langer as 2 dae nie. Die een vertrek kamer het maar voldoen, geen selfsorgfasiliteit, geen stoof, mikrogolfoond, moes vra vir alles, borde ens. nadat ek gevra het of die selfsorg is. Die B&B elke dag die selfde ontbyt: omelet met lewertjies. Ek eet nie meer dit nie. Geen potte of behoorlike braaigeriewe nie.

A lovely venue amongst the animals and on the river. We were welcomed as if we were old friends by Agnes and Rikus, and they went out of their way to ensure that we have a happy time. The food was out of this world, and the accommodation was clean and comfortable. I would recommend Rio Dos Elefantes anytime.

Stunning, stunning, stunning - the best! One of the most beautiful and enjoyable camps in SA. Very good price and what an amazing service and location. If you want to experience the forest, the place is just for you.

Stunning, stunning, stunning - die beste! Een van die mooiste en lekkerste kampe in SA. Prys baie goed en watse ongelooflike diens en ligging. As jy die bos wil beleef is die plak net vir jou.

In the forest, where there is peace and quiet. Our group of 10 people, made up by family and friends, enjoyed 5 days at Rio dos Elefantes with auntie Agnes. Everyone's hospitality soon made us feel welcome and we made ourselves at home in comfortable rooms. Everything that is needed is in the rooms and kitchen or at the meeting place under bushy trees. Breakfast is unique with a great variety. Make sure everything on your list goes together so you don't have to go to town unnecessarily. Thank you very much Agnes and team for a nice visit.

In die bos, waar rus en vrede is. Ons groep van 10 mense wat op gemaak is deur familie en vriende het 5 dae by Rio dos Elefantes geniet saam tannie Agnes. Almal se gasvryheid het ons gou laat welkom voel en ons het ons tuis gemaak in gerieflike kamers. Alles wat nodig is, is in die kamers en kombuis of by die kuierplek onder ruig bome. Ontbyt is uniek met 'n groot verskeidenheid. Maak seker dat alles op jou lys saam gaan sodat jy nie onnodig moet dorp toe. Baie dankie Agnes en span vir 'n lekker kuier.

Disappointing. Due to following factors we only had one night instead of Stayed 5 nights: Poor road description, not good reception, no hot water to shower in and mediocre breakfast.

Teleurstellend. As gevolg van volgende faktore het ons slegs een aand i.p.v. 5 aande oorgebly: Swak padbeskrywing, nie goeie ontvangs nie, geen warm water om in te stort nie en middelmatige ontbyt.
