We thoroughly enjoyed our stay this past weekend. From our accommodation to the friendly staff and exceptional meals....the dinners are amazing and so well prepared. We definitely want to go back again. Thank you to all at Chrislin African Lodge for a wonderful stay.

Prachtige huisjes, sfeervol ingericht & comfortabel. Maar vooral heel lekker eten, elke avond was het diner een feestje en het ontbijt zeker ook! Zeer vriendelijk personeel & dichtbij Addo elephant park.
− Niets!
