This was the first stop of our trip to South Africa and I still miss it in retrospect.
It really exceeded expectations to meet such a hotel in Kruger.
At first, I felt that the hotel pictures were very good. I didn't expect the location to be very good. I often saw small animals walking slowly outside the fence. The experience was very special. (Comfortable forgot to take more photos hahaha)
Breakfast and dinner are delicious, the food is attentive, completely unfunctory.
The staff is also very friendly and sincere, making people feel taken care of rather than served.
The owner of the hotel gave us a lot of practical and pertinent suggestions, which helped us a lot.
The overall price is also very reasonable and the price is very high.
This is a place that people would like to go back to, highly recommended!!!

Just finished the wonderful three days at Safari Camp in the sausage tree, I have to say that it was a very memorable experience. The sausage tree is located in the private reserve of Balule, in an excellent location and beautiful scenery. It is very close to Hoedspruit Airport. All the staff at the camp are very friendly, generous, warm and welcoming. It is very professional and makes us feel at home. With close close contact with nature and various creatures, the Dutch friends who are traveling together are warm and pleasant experiences.
I have to say that the guide driver Themba and Lite of the camp, the wildlife tracking skills are very superb, the people are enthusiastic, and I saw the Big 5 astonishingly. I gathered the African five-bay. The Safari in the morning was amazing. I witnessed the rare scene of the lions hunting wild dogs. 🎬, thrilling, Wild dogs are endangered species, one of the puppies was killed because of misjudgment of direction. Kruger Park is a glimpse of nature, this is nature, nature animals have their own survival. In addition, under the guidance of the driver and guide, I also saw a rare black rhino mother and son, and came to a big face and staring at the small eyes, which was too unforgettable. In addition, there are various animals to drink water in the drinking pool next to the camp, and I saw antelope giraffe 🦒 and so on.
It is also worth mentioning that the staff at the camp also prepared warm water bags, which is really heartwarming. There are a lot of things to say, and the summary is that this is a place worth experiencing. I think I will come back again!

nicoshanYou can experience the best service.
You can prepare airport transfers, activities reservations, and meals. I had a fever on the second day of my stay and couldn't go to the safari I was planning, but Annie prepared breakfast and looked for a safari that I could book from the afternoon 🥹
The cottage is highly probable to meet animals, but I recommend the lodge near the reception. You can hear the hyena cry at night, so it's safer to move as little as possible when you go to eat. The lodge we stayed in is a type with a shower outside so it may be a bit cold in winter, but we were not particularly problematic. The room was clean and there were zebras and giraffes on the roadside when I went out during the day. It takes about 40 minutes by car from the airport to here. The road is not paved, so if you are easy to get drunk, bring your medicine.

This is the perfect place for nature lovers who also want real comfort and luxury. The lodge is exquisitely decorated and it was a pleasure to sit with a coffee and watch bush bucks, warthogs, kudu and all types of birds come into the garden. Walking around the lodge I came close to giraffes, zebras and more. It was breathtaking. I stayed for 2 blissful nights and enjoyed delicious home cooked meals, a wonderfully comfortable bed and hot baths each day. I hope to come back in future!

Everything was top-notch. We received a very warm welcome, and the grounds were beautiful and well-maintained. The rooms were cozy and had everything we needed. Tea, coffee, and water were available in unlimited supply throughout our stay. Two safaris were included in the room rate. Our guide (Sidney) did his best to show us the diverse wildlife of South Africa. Special thanks to the chefs – everything was delicious and cooked with passion, especially the evening barbecue. We also want to give a big shout-out to the manager who greeted us; she was always ready to help with our requests and resolve any issues. We would gladly return to you again because you gave us an unforgettable experience!

Guest UserDave is an incredible host — the best I've ever stayed with. The attention to detail was excellent, the location perfect, and everything was spotlessly clean. He's incredibly attentive and truly cares about his guests. He makes you feel right at home. I recommend this place 100%. Amazing experience!

A Peaceful Escape with Stunning Views!
We spent a night at Amafu Forest Lodge as a stopover on our way to the Kruger National Park via Orpen Gate, after a long but wonderful day exploring the Panorama Route.
What a lovely place to unwind! The lodge is beautifully situated, surrounded by nature, with absolutely breathtaking views over the Lowveld. The atmosphere was incredibly peaceful and quiet, making it the perfect place to relax and recharge before continuing our journey.
One of the highlights of our stay was hearing hyenas and lions calling during the night from a nearby wildlife rehabilitation centre. Such a unique and memorable experience that really added to the feeling of being in the African bush!
We stayed in one of the tented accommodations, which added a lovely rustic, outdoorsy feel to the experience.
All in all, a wonderful and peaceful stopover with spectacular scenery and a real connection to nature. We would definitely recommend Amafu Forest Lodge to anyone travelling along the Panorama Route or heading towards Kruger National Park.
We would happily stay here again!

the Location was great and the restaurant staff were friendly and provided us good service, which is unfortunately the two positive parts of our stay.
when we arrive, the reception experience was very poor. No Information was given about the lodge or breakfast until I asked, and we were not even accompanied to our room. The condition of the room was disappointing. The shower and floors were dirty to the point where you could not shower without wearing flip flops. Housekeeping was also below standard. During our 2-night stay, the room was not properly cleaned, the bins were not emptied, dishes were not washed properly and both the bathroom and floors remained dirty. Only the beds were made. This was a very disappointing experience.
