It took a while to get hold of the lodge manager , as no one was at the gate to open. Dispute notices about dangerous animals, I was still expected to get out of the car and open the gate, same at check out too. This was is irresponsible as if puts guests in danger! Property requires updating, no phone in the lodge, so guests have no way of contacting reception/ manager. Staff were accommodating, attentive and helpful. Had fish and chips for dinner, it was devine! My stay was elevated by waking up to the sound of a. roaring lion as a wake-up alarm clock. With improvements to their reception af The lodge entrance and some lodge imp were movements, I would stay there again. ##### Lorraine Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Palace of the Lost City at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Palace-Of-The-Lost-City-At-Sun-City-Resort.h392096.Hotel-Information) > > [Mabula Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bela-Bela-Hotels-Mabula-Game-Lodge.h1559026.Hotel-Information) > > [Tsala Treetop Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Plettenberg-Bay-Hotels-Tsala-Treetop-Lodge.h1030430.Hotel-Information) > > [Lush Private Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Lush-Private-Lodge.h24940930.Hotel-Information) > > [Kwa Maritane Self-Catering Chalets](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Kwa-Maritane-Self-Catering-Chalets.h22471915.Hotel-Information) > > [Inverdoorn Private Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Breede-River-Hotels-Inverdoorn-Private-Game-Reserve.h3131643.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Polokwane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Polokwane-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Polokwane.h17771611.Hotel-Information) > > [Aha Makalali Private Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Aha-Makalali-Private-Game-Reserve.h2343567.Hotel-Information) > > [Ivory Tree Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Ivory-Tree-Game-Lodge.h5994597.Hotel-Information) > > [Kariega Game Reserve - Main Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kenton-On-Sea-Hotels-Kariega-Game-Reserve-Main-Lodge.h4576469.Hotel-Information) > > [Margate Beach Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Margate-Hotels-Margate-Beach-Club.h9458217.Hotel-Information) > > [Pumba Private Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grahamstown-Hotels-Pumba-Private-Game-Reserve.h2319463.Hotel-Information) > > [Mhondoro Safari Lodge & Villa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vaalwater-Hotels-Mhondoro-Safari-Lodge-Villa.h11522151.Hotel-Information) > > [Vuyani River Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Vuyani-Tented-Camp-All-Inclusive.h57157744.Hotel-Information) > > [Vuyani Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Vuyani-Safari-Lodge-All-Inclusive.h36961786.Hotel-Information) > > [Hartford House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mooirivier-Hotels-Hartford-House.h27344764.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cabanas Hotel at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Cabanas-Hotel-At-Sun-City-Resort.h9459.Hotel-Information) > > [Sanbona Wildlife Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barrydale-Hotels-Sanbona-Wildlife-Reserve.h1155735.Hotel-Information) > > [Garden Route Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albertinia-Hotels-Garden-Route-Game-Lodge.h2917158.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cascades Hotel at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Cascades-Hotel-At-Sun-City-Resort.h9515.Hotel-Information) > > [Tshukudu Bush Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Tshukudu-Bush-Lodge.h1201423.Hotel-Information) > > [Sun City Hotel and Casino](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-Soho-Hotel-Casino-At-Sun-City-Resort.h527184.Hotel-Information) > > [The Oyster Box](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Umhlanga-Hotels-The-Oyster-Box.h2939964.Hotel-Information) > > [Aquila Private Game Reserve & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Touws-River-Hotels-Aquila-Private-Game-Reserve-Spa.h6347327.Hotel-Information) > > [Kwa Maritane Bush Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Kwa-Maritane-Bush-Lodge.h526966.Hotel-Information) > > [Sebatana Private Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vaalwater-Hotels-Sebatana-Private-Reserve.h32459379.Hotel-Information) > > [The Kingdom Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Moses-Kotane-Hotels-The-Kingdom-Resort.h6792618.Hotel-Information) > > [Glen Afric Country Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Broederstroom-Hotels-Glen-Afric-Country-Lodge.h27136993.Hotel-Information) > > [Gondwana Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mossel-Bay-Hotels-Gondwana-Game-Reserve.h4145102.Hotel-Information) > > [Woodbury Tented Camp - Amakhala Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sidbury-Hotels-Woodbury-Tented-Camp-Amakhala-Game-Reserve.h9642577.Hotel-Information)
