Loved our stay here. The hosts were so friendly and accommodating. They have thought of everything and the cottage is kitted out with everything you could need. The property feels very safe and has a lovely relaxed atmosphere. There is a braai to use outside as well! Really would recommend and would love to go back there in the future. Also really close proximity to the park.

Addo lodge was lovely. Leanne the manager was super friendly and helpful. She booked our safari of Addo with Norman from Sundaze adventures. That was fantastic. Norman was awesome. The spar shop and taste of Africa restaurant was a 2minute walk away. The food was delicious, generous portions and inexpensive. The lodge also had lamod that worked during load shedding. The restaurant was open during load shedding. The bed was comfortable and the shower was hot and powerful

    We had such an amazing experience at Elephant's Footprint Lodge. The staff were so friendly and accomodating to our needs. The rooms are extremely spacious and I loved the rustic thatch roof and outdoor stone shower. The cosy lounge area is amazing with the fire and the food was exceptional! The location is fantastic for exploring the Addo region. I would highly recommend staying at the lodge.

    Fabulous location with breakfast overlooking the Sundays River. Lovely cooked breakfast with fresh bread. The trip into Addo organised by Dungbeetle River Lodge was also excellent and our guide was very informative and able to get us to all the right spots to see as many animals as possible.

    The cottage is spacious, comfortable and nicely decorated. Beautiful view from the deck, sunroom and front bedroom. The cottage is exceptionally clean(cleaned daily)and clean towels provided daily. It would have been nice if the cottage had an oven but other than that the kitchen is adequately equipped. We had amazing excursions with the Lodge, a morning game drive and a sundowner boat cruise. With both, our guides Christo and Beau, were fantastic!!!! We highly recommend the Lodge and their excursions and we'll be back!!!

    It was a great adventure sleeping in one of the tents right next to Addo Park fence. The staff is super friendly and helpful. We stayed 2 nights during our Safari trip to Addo. The lodge is right next to the Parks south gate.

    Great place to stay in Colchester while visiting Addo Elephant park, 5 minutes away. Our host Alf was super hospitable and advised on activities in the area and beyond. The units were clean, spacious and had everything needed in a self catering unit. Use of the hot tub was welcomed after a cool rainy day, What a great place to stay.
