Where the Drakensberg escarpment plunges to the ancient plains of the Lowveld lies Edeni – the Shangaan word for "Eden". It nestles beneath a canopy of riverine forest on the banks of the Makhutsi River, where it winds through the 21,000 acre Edeni Private Game Reserve, which is in close proximity to the Kruger National Park (Phalaborwa gate and Orpen gate).

This game reserve is pristine with riverine bushveld, mixed woodland and open grassland habitats, perfect for the wildlife that inhabit this unspoiled region. Game visitors can expect to see four of the Big Five (except buffalo) as well as Cheetah, Wild Dog, Hippo, Crocodiles and a host of smaller game. Bird watching is also excellent with some 400 species being recorded.

The tents have magnificent views over the Makhutswi River. Tents are perched on wooden platforms under shady trees, with table and chairs on the verandah for guests' viewing pleasure.

A highlight of Bush Lodge is its thatched-roof lookout deck where guests can enjoy 360 degree views over the mountain, bush and river, sip sundowners while game-spotting on the savannah or even spend a balmy summer night on one of their comfortable outdoor beds.
