Mooie locatie met natuur zwembad! Dichtbij Addo NP. Leuk en schoon huisje! Heel leuk verblijf incl community ruimte, gratis water etc. Er is verder niets te doen omheen en zelfs wat gevaarlijk vanwege townships. Je merkt hier echter niks van bij African Home! Restaurant en excursies zijn prijziger dan op het Addo park…

Leuke Afrikaanse lodge

Super leuke logde in Afrikaanse stijl. Behulpzaam personeel. Dicht bij de ingang van Addo Elephant Park. Wij zijn hier drie nachten geweest en hebben iedere ochtend genoten van het heerlijke ontbijt dat de kok voor je klaarmaakt. Wij verbleven in een familie huisje met een separate slaapkamer voor de kinderen.

This is a true home from home. We loved everything about Addo African Home and would definitely come back. The staff is very helpful, the rondavel, where we stayed, was clean, practical and the bed was very comfy. Also the restaurant and hospitality were amazing.

Highly recommend if visiting Addo Elephant Park

Absolutely charming lodge on a lovely lush property with amazing host. Our room was extremely tastefully and beautifully decorated (we got a free upgrade as it was not so busy - thank you a lot for that :-) ), good food in the restaurant and overall a very great vibe. Would definitely recommend if one visits Addo Elephant Park. We also did the Addo day safari organised by the lodge and had a superbe day!

Charming country escape

Being out in the South African countryside was never going to be a 5 star experience but Addo African Home had its charms. Great people with excellent service, beautiful grounds. The rooms were decent but could have been cleaner and more updated. They provide water and tea daily for free. The restaurant is really good with fresh and super affordable options. The organic pool is basically a pond. We had a nice stay here.
