Eine tolle Unterkunft direkt am Südeingang zum Addo. Wunderschönes Haus mit tollen geräumigen Zimmern, sehr stilvoll afrikanisch gestaltet. Alles sehr sauber und gepflegt. Schöner Garten mit einem kleinen Pool. Wunderbar freundliches Personal. Leckeres Frühstück und auch das dazugebuchte Abendessen war sehr lecker und reichhaltig und abwechslungsreich. Sehr zu empfehlen und wirklich perfekt, wenn man den Addo Park besuchen will.

Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt in der Elefants Footprint Lodge. Wir konnten etwas früher einchecken, da wir kurz nach unserer Ankunft sofort weiter mussten zum Schotia Game Reserve. Das Dinner war in jedem Fall eines der besten während unserer Reise in Südafrika. Endlich mal etwas traditionelles und alles selbst zubereitet. Ihr habt euch dort einen sehr liebevollen und friedlichen Ort geschaffen. Die Kurze Anfahrt zum Addo und zum Schotia Game Reserve sind super. Bei unserem nächsten Urlaub würden wir wieder bei euch buchen. Vielen Dank für diesen schönen Abschluss unserer Reise.

Herrliche Hotelanlage mit äusserts hilfsbereiten Personal. Eine Person kann sogar perfekt deutsch. Hervorragenden Essen in sehr gemütlicher Athmospäre. Nahe zum Eingang des Addo Park. (Achtung: Eintritt Addo Park kann nicht mit Kreditkarte bezahlt werden, nur bar)

Next to Addo park, ideal. Beautiful rooms to see. Fridge was not cold, showering outside was not our thing. It was made for our dinner without us asking. We checked in at 6:30 PM and had to eat there at 7 PM. We had already eaten so we said thanks. They wanted us to pay. Ultimately they indicated that it was a miscommunication. We had sent an email to see if they had vegan options before we traveled (intended for breakfast in terms of options). And they interpreted this as a reservation for a vegan dinner??! So be very careful with this! Ultimately you don't have to pay. Our fellow non-vegans had a delicious meal there. Breakfast was very limited. No vegan options as stated. At all, just jam for sandwiches and nothing else. Many guests brought something with them to put on bread, which was very strange. The juice glasses were also mini size, 2 sips. Was the breakfast with least options during our entire stay. Wouldn't book here again unfortunately.

Perfect location for driving into Addo. Very friendly host and service. Also the dinner was good. There was also the option to book a safari through the host and like he said, this was really worth it.
