Africa Safari Lodge

When we arrived there was nobody at reception, then were told our stay was cancelled even though it wasn’t. Service in every area terrible, have to look for someone if you want to order a drink. Seeing the rhinos is amazing and could be the only thing that people would travel for. This lodge has so much potential to be so much better but there is zero enthusiasm by anybody on the property.

Great to see the animals around the waterhole which was amazing. Comfortable room. Bit disappointed by the pool which did not seem clean. Staff were friendly and helpful.

We loves it, The Animals ans Rhinos was so amazing. Great Friendly stafd

This place is great if you want to see rhinos and experience their presence without a fence or anything separating them from you. It’s not a place if you are looking for sterile bathrooms. The beds are comfortable under mosquito nets. There is lots of mosquitoes so be prepared with bug spray. She stuff is very helpful they are wonderful. It’s only a small volume lodge so the choice of food is not big but everything we had was tasty. Nice bar. We did not use swimming pool. The animals coming to the waterhole are making this place worth a visit.

The waterhole at the lodge/you can watch different kind of animals every morning and evening (Rhino's/Springbok)

We had amazing experiences with the rhinos! Nice pool and delicious dinner! Thank you!

Really great staff. Ceclia and Jessica were great and catered to the couple of requests we had. Loved the wildlife that came to feed at the waterhole next to the lodge.

A quick overnight stop. Although a slight detour from the main road, it well worth it for the peace and quiet. Good value for a good price. The noisy rhinos feeding on the front lawn were an additional treat

Staff so friendly, food amazing, ambience spot on. Saw three rhino on the lawn, so it was pretty special!!

Some of the staff were really friend and helpful (especially vickas!) it was a nice quiet and clean resort. HOWEVER, they had arbitrary rule that maxed out at 200 mb with no other explanation other than “that’s the rule”. This is 2019 and you are given internet connections now even throughout moving camps in the middle of the Serengeti. Paying as much as you do to stay here this was unacceptable. That is enough internet to check a few emails. As well their lunch was a nice a la cart menu however their dinner was a preset 25 usd menu that has no choice and you are “forbidden” from bringing other food into the campsite (understandably not to your rooms but in the main area?!)

We had a lovely time! Two suggestions, the service in the restaurant could be a bit quicker however the staff were super friendly and interesting to talk to. The sofa bed in our room was a bit wobbly. We had an amazing time and would return.

This lodge is about 25km out of Mariental. When you drive through the gates you forget about the many km you have driven as the setting is so peaceful and tranquil.

Confirmed and paid for reservations two months in advance of trip with confirmation emails from the manager. Upon arrival, was told that reservation was for previous night and we lost pre-paid reservation. They said they were completely booked and blamed staff for error. Only upon showing them confirmation emails for correct date from manager did they offer to put us up in a farmhouse near the property with no electricity or running water. At that time a bus load of German tourists pulled up. After talking with them, we found out they had booked their rooms AFTER we made our reservations, and apparently, the hotel manager decided to go with a bigger group in lieu of honoring our reservations. Only after lots of talking and arguing, did they agree to find rooms for us at another location and refund all of our money - they originally wanted to just transfer funds to the other hotel, even though the room rates were significantly less. The most upsetting part was that they weren't honest about giving away our rooms. And at no time during the interaction did they offer us a seat, glass of water, or any solution to our dilemma until we pressed them to do so. Luckily, we had Africaans speaking friends with us or we wouldn't have been able to work anything out. We spent thirteen nights in Namibia at 10 different lodges. Our experiences with all other lodges were excellent. Would not recommend this lodge to anyone - the managers are dishonest and rude.

Diese Lodge ist sehr zu empfehlen, abends ist man praktisch unter Nashörnern und anderen Tieren sehr gute Häuser mit großem Bad Die Lodge kann man sehr empfehlen

L’esperienza vissuta è stata indimenticabile

Véritable intérêt de ce lieu est la proximité avec les rhino. La douche froide le matin à cause d un problème technique n a fait l objet d aucun geste.

Wunderschöne Lodge mit tollem Blick auf Tiere

Fantastique vue sur les rhinos de la terrasse. Les points forts : bon accueil, chambre (n°4) propre, spacieuse, moustiquaire entourant le lit, SDB également très grande, eau bien chaude. Terrasse. Chambre avec tout un pan de mur vitré donnant sur le point deau. Nous y avons observé différents animaux dont des rhinos qui ont l'habitude semble t il de s'arrêter à cet endroit. Chaque chalet a vue sur le point d'eau. Brasero le soir. Bar proposant des alcools et cocktails pas très chers. Menu 3 services fixes, excellent. Belle infrastructure. PDJ seulement partir de 7h30 et lenteur au service, un peu embêtant quand on veut partir tôt.

Alles bestens!
