This was definitely the best place I stayed in South Africa. The bed was comfortable, the food was amazing, the stars were incredible and the staff were divine. I arrived with no food and no transport and they bent over backwards to make sure I was thoroughly taken care of the entire time. Highly, highly recommend. Thank you so much!

The lodge is excellent: just near the Addo park. Not very big and really cosy: rooms are big and ceiling is high) beds are comfortable, a lot of hot water. The main treasure of the lodge is the TEAM. Very attentive, a lot of smile and help. Very nice diners and breakfasts. Warm atmosphere. Thank you very much - we will be back.

Our stay at Chrislin African Lodge was absolutely wonderful! From start to finish, we had an amazing time filled with exciting activities organized in collaboration with Crisscross Adventures. Ivy and the rest of the staff were incredibly friendly, always making us laugh and going out of their way to accommodate our requests, which truly elevated our experience. The rooms were spotless and well-maintained, with comfortable beds that ensured a great night’s sleep. Each room was equipped with air conditioning, making it perfect for relaxing after a day of activities. We especially loved the outside area, which offered stunning views of the beautiful garden and farm—a perfect spot to unwind. The breakfasts were well-organized and delicious, while the dinners were nothing short of divine. The campfire evenings and the refreshing swimming pool added a magical touch, making our stay unforgettable. If you're planning a visit to Addo, look no further than Chrislin. It's the perfect spot to enjoy a sunrise game drive in the morning, relax by the pool in the afternoon, and even embark on a memorable boat tour in Colchester. Highly recommended!

Such a beautiful idyll - perfectly located for a day at the national park and with a lovely restaurant onsite. The personnel were super welcoming and the room was immaculately clean. I really loved the coffee machine in the lounge to grab a nice coffee to enjoy on the little patio. Pool was a lovely relaxing place to while away some hours. The whole plot was incredibly calm and serene - would highly recommend. PS - note that the ratings outside of WiFi are all 10/10! We had no issues with WiFi while we were there, but equally would not expect perfect WiFi in a rurally located spread out property - seems unfair it brings down the overall ratings!

Looking for a lodge?

Ideal for nature-lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and self-catered. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than holiday homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.

It was a great adventure sleeping in one of the tents right next to Addo Park fence. The staff is super friendly and helpful. We stayed 2 nights during our Safari trip to Addo. The lodge is right next to the Parks south gate.

We loved it all: the safari lodge style, the self-service bar, the room with the waterfall-like outdoor shower (view protected), the very good breakfast, the super tasty dinner - and the sympatic hosts! :-)
