Spent Christmas Weekend at the lodge with my family. This was our first experience and I don’t have a single bad word. The location, facilities, activities, staff, and food - all of it was fantastic! 🎄 Todays Christmas lunch was just exceptional, completely exceeded my expectations. The setup was beautiful! We got given a beautiful poinsettia to take home.🪴The Christmas vibe was on point. The large variety of food was endless and delicious! 👌🏼🤤 🎄 Went on two game drives over the two days and got to see 4/5 of the big five. The route differed between the two drives which was great. Great guides. Definitely recommend and will return. 😻

I went there for my birthday celebration/weekend away. I’m still in awe of the overall experience from the staff to the activities and the amazing food. Everything was just so easy from the booking to my arrival. Wow!! I would highly recommend this place and I definitely will be going back again

It's our second time staying at the Lodge. Very clean and spacious rooms with nice views of wildlife. We did the sunset game drive as well and it was very nice. Included in the drive are some snacks and a sundowner champagne glass. Just remember to take a jacket with for when the sun goes down and your on an open vehicle.

Went for a day trip just for the game drive. A lovely experience and the driver was very friendly. We saw much more than expected and the experience felt curated and unique to this lodge. Will definitely recommend as a day trip, great value for money.

What a lovely excursion. Started off with breakfast and then a morning game drive. Got so see beautiful wildlife and birds. Caught a glimpse of a huge snake that was on the dirt road. A overall beautiful day spent with loved ones.

Where do I start as I can't say enough great words about African Hills. Whether you're visiting for a work conference or romantic weekend away, it has everything you could dream of. Seeing the animals up-close on safari is the real treat, but there's so much more. The quaint lodges, food in the restaurant, spa, service, pools, museum, guided hikes, and everything else are all top quality. I can't see anyone being disappointed with a visit here.

Amazing out of Africa experience. The suite is what you must choose. Cozy, quiet and romantic. The Elephant experience adds to the already beautiful nature and experience.

Way overly priced for what is received in terms of catering, hospitality & activities. Mediocre experience, food & service. Management does not go above & beyond to make the guests feel special, catered for or the experience memorable. Staff are friendly, location is good. Rob at the museum over delivered in terms of knowledge & info shared. Elephant experience was good but other than that definitely not WORTH IT AT ALL.

Went on the game drive today. Saw so many animals, including the lions, elephants and hippos Our game ranger was absolutely amazing and very knowledgeable. Thoroughly enjoyed the day and it made my UK visitors so happy to see so much. Will definitely be back

Absolutely perfect. This is an amazing place. Beautiful, private and peaceful. Short drive from Jhb and Pta. Our room was clean, neat and had a view over the dam. We enjoyed the spa, Rob’s stories and knowledge at the Museum, the food is amazing, the game drive was spectacular and the Elephant experience was something to write home about. Would highly recommend!

Hi we went there for a weekend even though we had a problem with our room regarding electricity. but what i can say is everything was on point the service was excellent starting from the reception. The staff treat you in a respectful manner keep it up i love this place i love it. The food, the Chef oh my God. Keep it up African hills. not forgetting to mention all you game drivers the have a good knowledge about the animals. any way it was my second visit ill come back again soon.

The elephant experience is very special and the gardens at the lodge are beautiful! Just some constructive criticism I think the room service needs some TLC.

Beautiful location! Incredible breakfast. Great for a corporate off site, with the added bonus of being able to have an elephant experience. Well worth the money!

Lacks facilities like a jacuzzi @ the spa the steam room was out order ,a heated pool an entertainment area no bar service a @ the pool lounges need to replaced. Overall the staff are excellent ,place is clean and very peaceful a great romantic getaway. Good

Voelgoed Media's #NuweJy 2023 program was hosted by African Hills. Our stay was absolutely fantastic. From the conference facilities to the scrumptious breakfast - everything was excellent. We watched antelope drinking water with sunset and woke up to birds chirping. A soulful experience!

Absolutely beautiful place wonderful service and beautiful views and animals, food could get a bit better but no complaints other than that, great place!!

NOT WORTH THE STAY!!!!! Reception staff - rude with a bad attitude. Rather enjoy the good food at the restaurant. The elephant experience and game drive were outstanding. These staff members were friendly and made up for all the other dissappointments

Luxurious Haven with Exceptional Service From the moment we stepped into the African Hills Safari Lodge and Spa, I was enveloped in luxury. The rooms are the epitome of indulgence, receiving meticulous service twice a day. Returning from dinner to a perfectly made bed, complete with a thoughtful touch of chocolate and a bottle of water, felt incredibly pampering. Room: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Dining Experience The culinary journey was nothing short of extraordinary. Every day, a new menu showcased a diverse array of dishes, ensuring a tantalizing experience for the taste buds. Portion sizes were generous, offering a satisfying meal each time. The breakfast spread was a highlight; the baked goods section, in particular, was beyond compare. The scones and date loaf were unrivalled, leaving a lasting impression. Food: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Engaging Activities and Stellar Staff The activities offered were curated to perfection. Our guide, Dumesane, was not only knowledgeable but also made the experience thoroughly entertaining throughout the two and a half hours. A huge thanks to Bongane, Gloria, and Joshua, whose hospitality and attention to detail made our stay truly memorable. Their warmth and efficiency elevated our experience, turning it into an unforgettable getaway. Activities & Staff: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Overall, the hotel is a testament to luxury and impeccable service. With its lavish rooms, exceptional dining, engaging activities, and a remarkable staff, it's a place where every moment feels like a treasured memory in the making. Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you, for an unforgettable stay! We'll be eagerly looking forward to our next visit.

Fabulous stay and magnificent venue for our sales conference. The staff went out of their way to accommodate us and are focused on guest satisfaction. Rooms are well set out, comfortable and well equipped. Our game drive was food for the soul with sightings of Lion, Buffalo, impala, water buck, hippo, elephants and other buck. Great spread of food. The team building morning was a real suspense thriller and had us uncovering a great plot. Thank you all.

A beautiful lodge at the bottom of magalies mountains, rooms can use a bit of updating inside. The place is like you're back in time to 50yrs or so! Animals on your doorstep, beautiful swimming pools!

Lovely venue with a cart and wagon museum from the time of the Anglo-Boer War. We did not stay at the Lodge, but did a party of 10 3 hour game drive, which was great. Maropeng, our guide, was fantastic and was able to show us most of the game in the area, including lion, elephant, buffalo, giraffe, hippos and sable antelope. We were also fortunare to see a fish eagle. Well priced and highly recommended.

I went there for a hike and have been there for a game drive. Enjoyed the hike but I feel they need to make it longer and allow hikers to go alone so they can have more time and fun. I enjoyed the breakfast and the views when having the buffet breakfast

Brilliant service and accommodation. The food was phenomenal. I also highly recommended the elephant experience and the game drives.

Went there for my birthday lunch, they serve a buffet lunch on Sunday and the food was delicious, did I mention the views are incredible and as a added bonus you get to see elephants eating & drinking water. I can’t wait to go back lovely place.

They have very friendly staff who offer great customer service. They accommodate babies and toddlers as there are activities you can do with them like the game drive. For activities you can't do with babies they offer baby sitting services. Well organized and fun activities with knowledgeable staff.

Love this spectacular place!!! Our favorite place to shoot weddings at! @Compassion_Art Photography

This place is on "Another Level" super peaceful, the staff are passionate loving and caring, will come back over and over again, keep it up African Hills we need more places like yours ❤️😊

We stayed over for the weekend recently. It is a proper out of Africa experience - on the doorstep of Pretoria and Johannesburg. The room was clean and neat, friendly staff and the food was outstanding!

Beautiful place it is, Ntate Lovemore and Ous Mercy thank you so much for making our stay incredible may the Lord bless you.

We had a wonderful sales and management conference at the lodge. Lovely to have the animals close by with the dam close to the restaurant. Starff were polite and helpful, engaging and always service with a smile. Before we started our conference the manager addressed our groups and gave safety briefing and explained a bit abouts recent poaching activities at the reserve. So sad to hear they lost 10 rhino and a male lion(recent). The upstairs coffee was excellent, would have been nice to have the same coffee facility downstairs.. The food during the conference was plentiful, well presented and tasty. Breakfast and lunch was good and dinner was beautiful presented. All round tasty. A few minor glitches with one well done steak instead of medium rare, steak and my Kingklip was dry and a bit tough. The curry could have been stronger according to one of my colleagues. Thabo our Game Ranger was entertaining and knowledgeable. Saw a fair amount of game but it would have been nice to stop a little longer at sightings. We saw lion, wildebeest (including a golden wildebeest), zebra, giraffe, Warthog, impala, including black impala, blesbok (even a white one), 2 elephant, 2 white rhino, two hippo, kudu, nyala. Pity you can't drive through the reserve and that you have to book a game drive. I would have loved to have gone back and sat quietly on my own watching game. Game drives tend to be too noisy. The rooms are spacious. And comfortable. Beautiful slipper bath but with water restrictions is a real tease. Hot shower, double basins. For families or friend wishing to be close together, their rooms backing onto each other with a common kitchenette area and inter leading doors. Well sound proofed as I did not hear my neighbours. The museum is also very interesting. And enjoyable stay all in all.

Amazing 2 nights stay. Rooms were warm and amenities were excellent. Will definitely return. The elephant experience was the highlight for us. The only disappointment was the spa. Did not feel like a luxury spa experience. I would not book the spa. We did the game drive which was also well worth it. Food was good too!

Very friendly staff. We left our window open - after being told to close when you go out, so the monkeys had a party at the coffee station. When we got back in the evening after our Game drive, we walked into a bit of a mess. We notified reception just so they know that we aren't that messy the next day when they come to service the room, only to find the room already cleaned when we arrived back from the wonderful 3 course dinner - I mean, wow? Great service, great food and beautiful animals!!

Great service

The lodge is a beautiful place. The elephant experience was really amazing . The room was really nice,clean and comfortable.The food was a huge disappointment. It took forever to get meals and it was not cooked as instructed and I found the taste extremely disappointing.
