The entire lodge felt very cozy and homey which made us feel right at home. The rooms are very big with a terrace overlooking the stunning nature of the area. The bathroom hosts an indoor and outdoor shower where you can enjoy the views first thing in the morning. We also did the Addo Park Safari via Hitgeheim and it was great. Super friendly and courteous staff. The food was delicious. We would definitely recommend this place for a great Safari stay.
