Arrived late at night from Atlanta and dog tired. Francois, the manager, could not have been more accommodating. I asked if the Restaurant was open late and he asked what I felt up to eating as he would bring it to my room. Non-plussed, I got a knock at the door 10 minutes hence and was presented with a lovely... More

Had a lovely stay. Were made to feel very comfortable by Ronelle who went out of her way to ensure we felt at home. Had the best muesli and fruit salad for breakfast that I have ever tasted! Already looking at when we can book again.

Stayed one night as stopover in Johannesburg so wanted to be close to the airport. Francios was very friendly and helpful and the lodge had a warm, friendly atmosphere. Food was great and more than enough in quantity. Room was spacious.

If you're coming to Joburgh to visit the Kruger then the logical place to stay is Outlook Lodge. What a delightful place. Francios (sorry if the spelling isn't correct) is a great host and cooks up a mean cuisine!

With an overnight flight to Jberg, we opted to stay the day/night in Jberg before departing for Kreuger. This was a very wise choice with safari schedules beginning at 5am in the Kreuger in December! Outlook Lodge picked us up at the airport, we arrived & our rooms were ready by mid-morning so we could nap before eating. They drove... More

A unique place to stay near airport, and ideal to start Kruger safari from. A large home in a nice area, walkable to restaurants and a bird sanctuary. Rooms are good but this is not a modern sterile hotel rather you feel comfortable here. The TV is adequate and wifi free but limited areas of reception. Your host is wonderful... More

I stayed here in December 2011 as part of a package to visit Kruger NP with Outlook Safaris. My experience was perfect for someone who had never been to Joburg before.
