Homestays 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!

Exquisite location with such friendly staff that stand at the ready to help and cater to every whim. Booking a regular room is recommended as the larger room has a door which borders the main guest area. As such, it is extremely noisy. This room also looks out on the main patio with no inner curtains with the result that there’s no privacy. A regular room offers the same level of comfort, but with added privacy on the deck area and its further away from the main guest area which offers peace and quiet. All rooms look out onto a beautiful valley with proverbial four poster beds shaped as elephant tusks. The only negative were the old, lumpy pillows, which need urgent replacement. The chef cooks traditional African meals which were delicious, but for this type of venue, needs perhaps a bit more finesse in terms of having better options for a continental breakfast and enquiring with guests as to how they would prefer their meat cooked beforehand. A word of warning to coffee lovers, there’s only instant coffee, so better go and enjoy the hospitality armed with your own!

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!

This was the first stop of our trip to South Africa and I still miss it in retrospect. It really exceeded expectations to meet such a hotel in Kruger. At first, I felt that the hotel pictures were very good. I didn't expect the location to be very good. I often saw small animals walking slowly outside the fence. The experience was very special. (Comfortable forgot to take more photos hahaha) Breakfast and dinner are delicious, the food is attentive, completely unfunctory. The staff is also very friendly and sincere, making people feel taken care of rather than served. The owner of the hotel gave us a lot of practical and pertinent suggestions, which helped us a lot. The overall price is also very reasonable and the price is very high. This is a place that people would like to go back to, highly recommended!!!

Dave is an incredible host — the best I've ever stayed with. The attention to detail was excellent, the location perfect, and everything was spotlessly clean. He's incredibly attentive and truly cares about his guests. He makes you feel right at home. I recommend this place 100%. Amazing experience!

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!

We had a wonderful stay. Although the room we booked wasn't available, we were upgraded at no additional charge. The accommodations were very clean, and the staff was friendly. The surroundings were beautiful and peaceful.

This is a private safari lodge where 2 game drives a day is included as well as full board. The staffs were friendly and the place is clean. The chef prepared food according to your dietary needs.
