    I had an amazing stay at this lovely lodge! The managers, Eugen and Johan, made us feel right at home with their warm welcome and hospitality. The accommodation was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated. I also loved the variety of fresh food they offered for dinner, and it was absolutely delicious. They provided great recommendations for activities in the area, making our stay even more enjoyable. I can't wait to come back again!

    The location of the lodge was great, being close to the gate of the national park and also near the sand dunes. the food at the lodge was absolutely delicious, especially the zebra dish. the room was spacious and comfortable, with a pull-out bed for our child.

    There was a major issue with the outdoor shower. While it was a lovely feature, the temperature control was extremely difficult to use.

    I had an amazing weekend getaway near the famous Addo Elephant Park. the lodge offered comfortable and spotless accommodation with a fan and air conditioner, which was perfect for the hot weather. the staff were extremely friendly and made me feel like a VIP guest. the service was superb and the breakfasts and dinners were absolutely delicious. I especially enjoyed the fresh and local cuisine prepared by the talented chef. the lodge also had a lovely splash pool where I could cool down and relax. the lodge's proximity to the Sundays river allowed me to enjoy a scenic boat ride.

    It would have been more convenient to have more flexibility with dinner arrangements. However, these minor inconveniences did not detract from the overall fantastic experience I had at the lodge.

    We had an amazing time at Elephants Footprint Lodge! The location was perfect, close to the park and far from the city. We loved the cozy rooms and the outdoor waterfall showers. The staff were friendly and accommodating, letting us check in early. They even provided coffee, tea, milk, and robes. The vegetarian meals prepared by the chef were delicious and greatly appreciated. we had a fantastic getaway and would definitely recommend this lodge.
