14 guests' feedbackThe lodge is well located with friendly staff and everything you need for a nice relaxing break.
The aircon was broken in our room but they were very kind to give us a different room which was even better than the one we had booked and they allowed us to use both of them for duration of the visit. We prepared our meals in one and we spent the night in the other. Very friendly staff!
This was the second time we visited Africa Spirit Game Lodge and we will only want to go back again and again.
Friendly and helpful staff. Small, peaceful lodge where nature's sounds dominate, and not human noise. Beautiful private places where you can have fun around the fire.
Great staff, great service, and super clean! Will definitely be going back! Absolutely loved it!
The lodge was stunning! And perfect for a family with kids. Felt like a home away from home with a beautiful view of the North KZN bushveld.
Little ants everywhere. Plates, beds, floors, everywhere! Fleas on bed! Braai place very nice.
Staff very friendly and competent.
Everything was great and all the people there made us feel like family. We didn't want to go home!
The African Spirit Game Lodge is a wonderful place to stay. The game drive was perfect; the ranger very enthusiastic. We would certainly recommend this place!
African Spirit Game Lodge was a lovely surprise! We enjoyed every moment of our stay there. They were so hospitable that it felt like we were saying goodbye to family when we went home. The view over the beautiful area and the game drives with Jessie were fantastic. Thanks again to Jessie and Madelaine for all their kindness and hospitality! We will definitely come again and recommend it.
Nice place.
We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay - and went away relaxed and far more knowledgeable about the bush. This all came down to our hosts, who went out of their way to accommodate our every wish.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at African Spirit Game Lodge. The house which we stayed in was very tastefully furnished and well equipped.
