Wonderful place to stay and explore Addo!
We spent 2 lovely nights here, in a gorgeous suite with very comfy furniture and anything one could need. Ceiling fan works really well! The private rustic outdoor shower was a highlight! Very good dinner and breakfast.The boat trip on the Sundays River is also a great experience which Christo the manager organised for us. We would definitely recommend and hope to come again!

Krazy American amazed in ZA
The Lodge is beautifully built-designed and maintained. to see such a massive Thatched hut look so perfect is amazing. there was no chipped paint, cracked items etc. the staff is always smiling and eager to please. the meals ( buffet style )are very good and plenty to go around. I was not sharing the rolls, they were to good to let go of. the honor bar is a great advantage as we made good use of its good selection. we were there after a cold front moved in, but the rooms were warm and beds even had e-blankets. there are no side noises from roads or neighbors, and the landscaping and fountain-pool attract a lot of beautiful birds. they are trying very hard to win your approval here. also it should be noted that they have contacts with all the best tours in the area and we got an award winning guide all to ourselves for 4 hrs. ADDo was great.I highly recommend this area in the winter. the animals are of better nature and seen easier against al the greenery that the rains bring. it was very lush looking and made the photography of everywhere just more stunning. also with current world financial forces we got a hotel, food and tours for 3days and two nights for what we would spend on dinner and a show in Chicago. There will always be another show, but living a few days here n SA will change your perspective forever. I have one negative, that was not of the resorts doing. the Internet is a gov agency and like all things ZA.gov, its a mess, but you will be to tired to use it

Das Essen war nichts besonderes, dafür zu teuer. Zimmer modrig. Toilette hat durch aseptischen Abwasserrank gestunken.
