RiverBend Lodge occupies a private concession inside Addo itself, spanning what the operator describes as five diverse biomes, with 8 standalone luxury suites and a "Big 7" claim (the standard Big Five plus southern right whale and great white shark, seen along this part of the Eastern Cape coast in season).

About the photographs
The pictures on this page are stock photographs chosen to suggest the kind of setting this property is in. They are not photographs of this property, and we cannot verify exactly where any of them was taken — a stock library records the photographer, not the place. We use them rather than borrow the property's own marketing images, which would imply we had stayed there. For pictures of the actual rooms, see the property's own site.
