    It was perfect.

    Absolutely wonderful. The location, the rooms, the food, it's all excellent! Elephants came to drink from the pool twice while I was there. The guides are AMAZING! I can hardly imagine any guides being better than Matt, Nicollete, Connie and Anti. They truly love what they do and you learn a lot on their drives and walks. The tree house is a must! I loved it. Truly can't say enough good things about this place. You will feel like family here!

    The way to the camp is awful. I was very close to a heart attack multiple times because I thought we would damage the rental car or get stuck. Also, when you book this accommodation, it’s not very obvious that the price on booking.com is not final. You have to pay a conservation fee of 480 rand per person per night as well as some gate fees. Not a very pleasant surprise to have when you’ve already booked everything. We arrived pretty close to the evening game drive so we were provided with what looked like a makeshift lunch (bread, cheese, meat). I don’t know if it is always this way or because we were running late. It was okay, though. However, the breakfast wasn’t much better: some more bread, cheese, meat, a bit of pastries and fruit. We expected something hot like fried eggs. On top of that, there was only one jug of juice for a table of 10 people. By the time I filled my plate, all the juice had been gone and there was no one of the staff to ask for a refill. I’m not saying the food was bad, no. Just that there’s some room for improvement.

    The staff are welcoming and friendly. The guides are amazing with excellent knowledge of the wildlife. We enjoyed our evening game drive with a fantastic sunset as a cherry on top of a delicious cake. For the following morning we were offered a choice between a bush walk and another game drive. We chose the latter since we were staying for only one night and wanted to see as many animals as possible. Unfortunately, one of the guides was feeling unwell and we had to join the majority for the bush walk. However, the guides were super understanding and we had some kind of a combination of both. Incredible experience! The dinner was delicious and beautifully served. The bungalow was nicely decorated and lovely. It’s possible to see some wildlife like monkeys even on the territory, which is pretty exciting!

    One small thing that would have been awesome - insulated stainless bottles rather than the thin aluminum bottles for water on the game drives - would keep water so much more refreshing. Check the weather when you go and be prepared - there is no AC and we were there during a heat wave (100F, 40C) so sleeping and relaxing was difficult despite fans, but the pools were awesome.

    We loved the exciting and comfortable game drives, the sundowners in the bush, the knowledgeable, friendly staff - we loved eating with the staff and other travelers at dinner - all communal areas were spotless and comfortable - staff was always on hand to ask questions or get a drink. The wildlife guides, Connie and Taybon, were just phenomenal, and the food was all delicious and rooms/showers were very comfortable! Location, animals (we saw SO MANY), everything outstanding.

    Just the first night it got so hot in the rondavel we had trouble sleeping with just the one fan. To be fair we stayed at the lodge mid-summer so it got to almost 40 degrees during that day.

    The lodge is perfectly situated for amazing game drives and of course bush walks. The meals were absolutely delicious every single time, and we not once grew hungry because of the large portions. The rondavel huts are quite romantic (even though I was with a friend) and the outside shower looking over the savannah gives that extra special touch to the bush feel. The staff is really great, they really took amazing care of us in a down to earth way so we didn't feel awkward about any exorbitant luxury or anything (we're normally backpackers so not really that kind of travellers). Connie was a great safari guide: smart and funny with endless knowledge. We couldn't have been happier with this match up! Thanks Connie!

    Nothing at all!

    Our stay was perfect! We stayed just 1 night but it was really great. From the beginning the staff was very helpful. The rooms were very clean and the food was delicious! Also the things which were arranged around my wifes birthday were wonderwel! Our stay was perfect! Also the most mesmorizing thing was the bush safari in the morning and the other safari. The rangers explained everything very well and based on the tracks we saw a lot of animals! A lot of compliment to both rangers they everything we wanted know. Overall, our stay was just perfect! If you want to book a safari with a night in the park, do it here! We only booked 1 nignt but wanted to stay more when we needed to leave.

    No negatives at all, everything was great.

    We really enjoyed our stay at Africa on Foot. All the staff were friendly, welcoming and very knowledgeable. The morning walks and afternoon game drives provided amazing immersion in the African bush and we have great memories of close encounters with lions and elephants as well as great sightings of other wildlife and birds. The accommodation is comfortable with all the facilities you need and the meals were all very good.

    Staying at Africa on foot was an incredible experience. The chalets are nicely furnished and cosy and the outdoor showers adds to the overall experience. The camp is also very peaceful and right in the middle of the bush. The swimming pools are great to spend some time in between activities. The morning bush walk, and afternoon game drive are done with the most amazing guides you could wish for, they are incredible and passionate people and as excited as you are to see the animals (thanks Luke & Tayler!). The food was plentiful and tasty, and all guests dine together, which adds to the unique experience. The location, the camp and the people who work here make it one of the best places I have ever stayed at. I cannot recommend it any more!

    The only thing that is tricky is the drive to the camp, google maps does not provide correct directions and it was tricky to come from Kruger National park rather than Johannesburg.

    This stay was absolutely incredible. I can truly say it exceeded my expectations. My partner and I are usually budget travelers, so when planning our trip to Kruger, it was originally a no brainer that we would just stay at the sites within the national park as they were much cheaper and offered self driving. We ended up deciding to book a private reserve due to being able to drive off road and get closer to the animals and just wanted the experience. The whole experience was AMAZING. I spent so much time wishing that I had booked one less night in the national park and booked a second night at Africa on Foot. The staff is truly so so so incredible, they are passionate about the animals, they are so personal, they cater to exactly what you want or need, they make so many adjustments to ensure that you are having a great time. The game drives with the staff was one of my absolute favorite parts, they know so many facts about the animals. I spent most of my stay with Danelle who was truly one of the best guides I have ever met. The bed was comfortable, the food was actually incredible, the facilities were great. I have so many great things to say about Africa on Foot, and I cannot recommend it enough.

    The room we got was very rustic. Accommodation was quite simple and a lot of insects were in the room with very warm temperature at night, as no AC. Something you could expect as being in the Busch, but for the same high price, we didn’t have that kind of issues in other lodges which were clean and welcoming in similar condition with with no insect in the room

    Kindness of the staff working at the camp. Conviviality of the people working. Super nice common area.
