Kurhula Wildlife Lodge is situated on the banks of the always flowing Olifants River in Balule, Parsons Nature Reserve. Balule Private Nature Reserve borders the Kruger Nation Park. It offers 4 double rooms all with a view on the river. A 12 km dirt road (4×2 or 4×4 car recommended) leads you from the main gate at the R40 in 30 to 45 minutes to the lodge. Most of the fences between the Kruger Park and bordering private nature reserves have been removed so animals can move around freely. From the lodge you can access the Kruger Park for a day trip via the Phalaborwa or Orpen gate. Game drives and bush walks are offered by the lodge.
