We stayed at Addo Afrique for 3 nights in the Tranquility Suite. The location was fabulous - the lodge is set high up and overlooks a new part of Addo NP which is not yet open to the public but you can see elephant, buffalo, zebra, eland etc from the lodge. The lodge is on a long thin strip of... More

Addo Afrique has the best location if you want to go into Addo Elephant National Park. It is only a 15 min drive to the entrance. Addo Afrique itself, too, has a few animals, of which you will probably mostly see the ostriches. However, we did manage to see the giraffes, too. The lodge is built in a typical African... More

My wife and I stayed here for 2 nights in early February, 2013. The highlight is the quite setting where you can totally relax. If you are a night life type of person, this may not be the place for you. It is very isolated and quite. But if you enjoy that, Addo Afrique has all the amenities you need.... More

For sure, Addo Afrique, Giraffe Lodge is a fantastic location with views over part of Addo Elephants park. If you are lucky, as we were, you can see large groups,of elephants or buffalos from your terrace. The house in itself is very nice and surrounded by bush and animals. Much appreciated the walks we could do in the park itself... More

We spent 3 days in this wonderful accomodation. We were welcomed by the ever friendly guard followed by ostreiches and then Moses. We tried to spend as much time in and around the lodge as possible, enjoying the view and hospitality. The first evening, Moses and his lovely wife Prisca prepared us a wonderful braai with pap and chakalaka-saus. We... More

This was our lodge in SA before we finally made our way down the Garden Route towards Capetown. Have to say that our expectations in the Lodge especially after having stayed in Kruger NP were quite high. For sure, you can't compare Addo Afrique with a fancy KrugerLodge (its located between a railway and a road, hence not hidden in... More

June 2012. Moses made the difference - he is a star!!! After 3days in Camp Figtree this was a bit of a disappointment. No hot water on last night - we stayed for 3nights. Bed was great (we stayed in the tranquility room). Passing trains and cars on main road a bit noisy. I loved the outdoor shower. I think... More

We stayed in the Elephant Lodge at Addo Afrique and it was a fantastic stay from start to finish. We were looked after really well by the staff (including having a couple of meals cooked for us) and the Lodge was fantastic with great amenities, a lovely view and great outside space. I would throughly recommend it.

We spent to nights at Addo Afrique with to familys (4 adults - 5 kids), great location with wild animals on the area and just 10 km to the Addo Elephant Park.
