4-Star Hotels in Limpopo, South Africa

A Peaceful Escape with Stunning Views! We spent a night at Amafu Forest Lodge as a stopover on our way to the Kruger National Park via Orpen Gate, after a long but wonderful day exploring the Panorama Route. What a lovely place to unwind! The lodge is beautifully situated, surrounded by nature, with absolutely breathtaking views over the Lowveld. The atmosphere was incredibly peaceful and quiet, making it the perfect place to relax and recharge before continuing our journey. One of the highlights of our stay was hearing hyenas and lions calling during the night from a nearby wildlife rehabilitation centre. Such a unique and memorable experience that really added to the feeling of being in the African bush! We stayed in one of the tented accommodations, which added a lovely rustic, outdoorsy feel to the experience. All in all, a wonderful and peaceful stopover with spectacular scenery and a real connection to nature. We would definitely recommend Amafu Forest Lodge to anyone travelling along the Panorama Route or heading towards Kruger National Park. We would happily stay here again!

the Location was great and the restaurant staff were friendly and provided us good service, which is unfortunately the two positive parts of our stay. when we arrive, the reception experience was very poor. No Information was given about the lodge or breakfast until I asked, and we were not even accompanied to our room. The condition of the room was disappointing. The shower and floors were dirty to the point where you could not shower without wearing flip flops. Housekeeping was also below standard. During our 2-night stay, the room was not properly cleaned, the bins were not emptied, dishes were not washed properly and both the bathroom and floors remained dirty. Only the beds were made. This was a very disappointing experience.

We celebrated our 2-years anniversary at Sausage Tree and we truly enjoyed every bits of it from all the thrills of game drives, to connecting with the nature, to enjoying the peace and breeze, to learn about South Africa’s culture, to making new friends and to being pampered very well by their fantastic hospitality! So lucky of us to catch all Big 5 on the morning of our anniversary and with an Elephant appearing right in front of my doorstep at night! It makes the whole trip so much memorable! Thank you, Polite, Themba, Life, Thendy and Karine for the memories!

The hotel has beautiful grounds and super friendly staff, especially in the restaurant. Stayed in an executive room which was clean with a four poster bed. The AC in winter time was a welcome addition and the fact that it was switched on before I checked in was thoughtful. In general, these rooms could do with a bit of general maintenance - ceilings look old and worn and it was really difficult to open and close the door. Breakfast catered to all tastes. For a stay in Modimolle, Shangri-La is a good choice.

This is the perfect place for nature lovers who also want real comfort and luxury. The lodge is exquisitely decorated and it was a pleasure to sit with a coffee and watch bush bucks, warthogs, kudu and all types of birds come into the garden. Walking around the lodge I came close to giraffes, zebras and more. It was breathtaking. I stayed for 2 blissful nights and enjoyed delicious home cooked meals, a wonderfully comfortable bed and hot baths each day. I hope to come back in future!

Everything was top-notch. We received a very warm welcome, and the grounds were beautiful and well-maintained. The rooms were cozy and had everything we needed. Tea, coffee, and water were available in unlimited supply throughout our stay. Two safaris were included in the room rate. Our guide (Sidney) did his best to show us the diverse wildlife of South Africa. Special thanks to the chefs – everything was delicious and cooked with passion, especially the evening barbecue. We also want to give a big shout-out to the manager who greeted us; she was always ready to help with our requests and resolve any issues. We would gladly return to you again because you gave us an unforgettable experience!

it was a very cool vacation. the manager was always on call and supported us. the hotel is very clean. we liked the breakfasts and the pool.

This lodge is well located near to the Kruger Park. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We had a good stay during our time there.
