    Sneaky little “corkage” added to the bill for taken a half drunk bottle from our braai the night before, in to dinner. Sneaky little charge for using some logs left by the previous occupants. Neither was expensive but just felt cheap.

    All meals were average, mainly because of the need to use a lot of frozen/processed/dry goods due to its remote location. Loved the relaxation and calm in the Little Karoo.

    The fridge in our room could have been colder, we ended up using the freezer to keep our food and drinks cool during our stay. The 30km dirt road was really tough to navigate in our ford fiesta as there was some recent rains before our visit which made the roads into more of a 4x4 worthy track

    Had the most memorable unforgettable stay at the African Game Lodge!! It was peaceful & far away and well worth the 30km drive on the dirt road to get there! A particular highlight for our family was the 4x4 "Game Drive" with Monwa who agreed to take our family on a "non-standard" drive to get us as close to the bushmen paintings as possible! Very knowledgeable, very kind and caring! Would highly recommend the African Game lodge as your escape from the city to reconnect with nature!

    We had an incredible experience at African game reserve! The facilities were nice, providing the perfect blend of comfort and immersion in nature. The breathtaking beauty of the natural surroundings left me in awe. Being off the grid with no cellphone signal was a welcomed escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life, allowing us to truly relax and enjoy family time. What made this trip truly exceptional was our host, Monwa. Not only was Monwa incredibly kind and hospitable, but their extensive knowledge about the local wildlife added a fascinating layer to our adventure. Monwa’s insights and stories about the animals were both entertaining and educational. And let’s not forget the highlight - the tamed Ostrich! Interacting with such a magnificent creature was a unique and memorable experience! African game reserve exceeded all my expectations, and I can’t wait to return.

    We loved the location and the overall experience we had at African Game Lodge. One of the owners came to directly introduce himself during breakfast which was great. Very kind people working there. Ronald is one of the best cooks I have met, nice guy and his food was absolutely amazing. Monwa was so accommodating, the weather on our second day there didn't permit a game drive, but they were willing to accommodate us the next day after breakfast which was amazing!! We will definitely be back to visit again and will bring our families too, already told them about this place. So see you guys again real soon.

    We did not see much game near the lodge. The weather was inclement so I can't say if we would have seen more on a game drive. The hot water in the chalets was more warm than hot.

    The scenery around the lodge was breathtaking. Monwa at reception was friendly, well-informed and capable. We enjoyed interacting with him. The chalets are rustic and being away from technology added an extra layer of relaxation to the weekend.

    Unfortunately the pool was not very clean and there were no mattresses on the sunbeds. So not very tempting to lay by the pool. Dinner was ok, although not a lot of choice for me, being pregnant. Well done steak seemed my only option. Would go for dinner in your own room.

    Very remote location, beautiful to drive through. The stars at night are amazing! The main area looks nice and cozy. Unfortunately we didn’t do a game drive as we had to leave after one night. Monwa manages the lodge on a day to day basis and deserves a lot more credit!

    To get to the property you have to go offroad. It's doable with a normal rental car but you have to drive really slow.

    We loved the game drive. Beautiful scenery. Breakfast was perfect. Very friendly and helpful staff.

    The long gravel road to the destination. A 4X4 is a must vehicle to get there. The bar in the lodge was not always open. There were no cocktails available and limited alcohol beverages available. A small convenience store to buy milk, bread, chips, sweets, ice creams etc. would be welcome although we were able to buy wood at the reception.

    Tranquil, peaceful environment. The 2 hr game drive was spectacular. Kids enjoyed playing mini-golf, billiards, table-tennis and swimming. The friendly ostrich visited us many times for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The dinner in the restaurant was well prepared and delicious. Comfortable chalets. Interesting hiking trails. Relaxing in the lodge where tv, wifi and charging stations are available. Staff were very friendly and especially the one assistant who seemed to multi-skill at various tasks including game driving, bar keeping and managing the restaurant.
