Foxy Crocodile - A Special Place in the Heart of Africa's Safari Heaven
Over the past four and a half decades, we have traversed the globe, residing in numerous remarkable establishments and embarking on cherished adventures. However, the Foxy Crocodile stands out as an exceptional venue, rivaling the finest offerings worldwide. The hosts, Basil and Riette, have meticulously crafted an environment that exudes spaciousness, exceptional cleanliness, modern conveniences and a large covered patio. Remarkably, this patio is situated within 50 feet of a constant flow of Kruger National Park wildlife (antelopes, monkeys, Kudu’s, warthogs, mongoose, etc) providing an immersive but safe experience in the “Bush.” Furthermore, home-cooked meals are available, including BBQed dinners and “made-to-order breakfasts on your patio.” The expanding property also offers a diverse range of customized safari adventures, guided by seasoned experts who will lead you through Africa’s premier National Park for morning, afternoon, or full-day excursions. Whether you are an individual traveler, a couple, or a family, the Foxy Crocodile offers an unparalleled and secure sanctuary for experiencing a genuine safari in a personalized and welcoming setting. The hosts, maids, cooks, and other staff members treat guests like family, creating an atmosphere of enchantment and elegance. The Foxy Crocodile’s unique combination of magic, friendliness, and world-class excellence makes it a memorable destination. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Basil and Riette for their exceptional hospitality and true friendship.

This is my first ever low rating for a place after extensive travels all over the world. That’s the point.
The location(animals roaming around) and the room cleaning staff.
The overconfident self-praising hosts specifically Basil and the safari they provide and their guide Jaun who treated us horribly.The owners are very quick to pounce upon anyone who has a complaint or a problem with anything in their resort and they will definitely say that this has never happened to them before(the low ratings, but it has if you check) …my reply is things happen for the first time..that’s how they start happening…
Basil threatened me when I complained to him, so much that I had to somehow complete my stay and leave with my mother…I am writing this review after 8-9 days of checking out as I am now back in my home country.
I had decided not to review the property and move on but my heart didn’t allow me to bow down to such aggressive behaviour (from Basil, the host) and terribly racist treatment from Jaun the safari guide who even cut short our safari by 3 hours on the second day for no reason and didn’t even stop for lunch. Now the resort is in the middle of nowhere so it’s not like you can walk out and get lunch. There are many other problems we had which we are happy to discuss with booking.com should the owners write their fictitious story here assasinating our characters.
The whole aim of this review is that this never happens to anyone again and if it does, you have precedent.
This stay was a black dot in our otherwise wonderful trip to South Africa.

It felt like home.
Our stay here was excellent — we even extended it by two more days. From the moment you arrive, impalas and wildebeests greet you at the property, and you immediately feel the privacy and peace of the surroundings.
The hosts, Basil and Riette, are wonderfully friendly and welcoming; it truly felt like home. The dinners were outstanding, especially the t-bone steak, which was top-notch.
They also offer safari experiences with additional costs, which I would highly recommend to anyone staying here.
Nothing.

The Best Hotel & Hosts Ever!
Where to even begin with Foxy Crocodile?! Me and Leanne stayed for 4 nights and it has been one of our favourite hotels that we have ever stayed in.
The accomodation is amazing. The rooms are luxurious and have everything you need from an outdoor shower, large bathtub and an extremely comfy bed. There are a lot of areas where you can sit and watch the abundance of wildlife passing by both near your room or across the river (usually elephants, bucks and crocodiles to see) it's both peaceful and incredibly relaxing.
The half board menu is also a treat! You will have breakfast either provided at the lodge or pre-prepared should you be out on a safari. We loved having dinner brought to our villa whilst we listened to the noises over by the nearby river. The maids were smiley, friendly and always wanted to ask about your day!
Whilst here, we took part on our first ever safari’s and booked 3 into Kruger National Park and had the pleasure of going out each time with Jaun. His knowledge was exceptional and he did everything he could to make sure each experience was rewarding. We would highly recommend booking safaris during your stay.
The hospitality from the owners Basil and Riette is another thing that makes this place so special. They are warm and welcoming and very generous without being at all intrusive; but are always there to offer a friendly smile, advice and to ask about what you saw on your safari. They really do make Foxy Crocodile such a special place and we will forever be grateful that we booked to stay here. We can’t wait to convince our friends and family to add it to their future destinations!
Thank you to Basil, Riette, Jaun and the rest of the Foxy Team. You will be missed!
