African Lodge was a big disappointment. The actuality of what greets guests upon arrival is in complete contrast to the description provided on the lodge’s website. The rooms are anything but spacious and the lodge is currently under construction, which means there is no pool to enjoy and the common rooms are in a complete state of disrepair. African hospitality, as referenced on the website, is very much on display via the staff who worked tirelessly to make up in their personal service for all else that was lacking in this accommodation. The conditions were so awful that we had to move next door to the sister lodge, African Footprints. To add insult to injury, the manager attempted to charge us an additional fee for moving from one accommodation to the other in spite of the fact that the rooms at both locations call for the exact same rate for a night’s stay. I feel for the staff who work there and have to handle the daily disappointment and complaints that are the result of poor management and mismarketing.

Great place to stay, Friendly staff, nice big room

Excellent staff, very helpfull. We were a large group of kids on a sport event. We will deffinately be back.

From an International Traveller point of view the ambience and feel of the place was true to its name.

Booked 2 rooms for the night of 17 June 2014, booking was confirmed by email as well as by telephone. On arrival the person at reception did not know of the bookings. After telephonically discused the matter with the owner she acknowledged that they booked us at another guesthouse and we should proceed to that guesthouse. On arrival at the referred guesthouse the reception did not know of the booking. Fortunate for us there were two room available. That is not the correct way to treat clients. This Guesthouse is deffinately NOT recommended to anyone.

We would like to thank Africa Lodge for their wonderful patience/ professionalism in handling one of those "my wallet has gone missing" awkward situations. My son was on tour at he and the team stayed at the lodge - on day of leaving my son couldn't find his wallet. After contacting the lodge and us stressing and not wanting to accuse anyone of stealing. I was phoned by Melissa to say the wallet complete with money was found. All I can say is "Wow" what amazing people we still have in our world! Thank you Africa Lodge! Highly recommend them in a heart beat!

10/10 for the staff, exactly where I needed to be UOFS.
