"Elephants Footprint Lodge is a comfortable small Lodge with easy access to Addo Elephant Park. This was my second visit, and although the rooms still remain clean and comfortable, I found that the quality of the food was not what it was a year ago. Room for improvement were that is concerned. I would definitely consider staying again, but should the food not improve it will be my last stay. The proximity to Addo is the big advantage."

"We had a lovely stay. Beautiful room and outside shower!

Staff was very friendly. Honesty bar, which makes it great!

Definitely would suggest you visit this place if you in the area."

"We, a group of 10 people, stayed only one night at the lodge but would have liked to stay longer. Nie and clean rooms and a very friendly service from the nice owners couple. Good value for money!"

"Very enjoyable, great host, will recommend"

"It was out of this world.

Geoff was so friendly - the food was prepared the way we liked it. The place was unbelievable."

"Very nicely situated for a visit to the Addo Park. Enjoyed our stay"

"We visited the lodge for 2 days. Actually the first day we had the lodge to ourself because it was not that busy. Geoff was a great host, very good cooking skills and very helpful and friendly. The room was nice, the outside shower was cool! :)"

"Geoff has created a small paradise in the relatively boring Colchester. The rooms are really nice, Geoff has paid great attention to detail. We enjoyed our stay tremendously.

"Above expectations, just fantastic, 5 star accommodation. Geoff is real nice guy - you would not get much more friendliness from someone else."

"We were so impressed with Geoff and his staff, this was the best establishment we have ever stayed in. We can fully recommend this place to anyone looking for accommodation in and around the Addo park. The food was great, the ambiance was great. 10/10. "

"We really enjoyed the stay at the EFL. Geoff and team made us feel at home. And so nice and close to Addo. Very good room.

We make recommendation to people who want to visit SA and the Addo park."

"An absolute unforgettable stay in such a wonderful, beautiful place. Geoff is such a friendly host making you feel welcome. It is home from home!! "

"We stayed at the Elephants Footprint Lodge in January 2007 for 2 nights with our 2 little children. We felt very welcome and the team made our stay a fantastic experience. The rooms have a unique atmosphere and are spacious enough to accommodate 2 adults and 2 children. Specials needs and request are immediately dealt with by the team. The special kids menu was superb as was the normal menu. The Lodge is only a few minutes away from the new Addo South-Gate.

Overall a great experience and to be highly recommended."

"Our one night stay at the Lodge was super. The accommodation is 5 star and Geoff a wonderful host. We will recommend the Elephants Footprint Lodge to all our friends."

"Comfortable, spacious, luminous. It's round design really reminds that of an elephant footprint. Attention to detail in comfortable and beautiful rooms. Near Addo and Schostia Park.

"Friendly hosts and lovely, comfortable rooms with homely touches and great breakfast. Conveniently situated right next to the Addo Elephant Park southern gate."

"I really enjoyed the stay at Elephant's Footprint. The personal touch and liaison was exceptional. I found what I expected and would return if the chance arose again. "

"The rooms are spacious and have excellent bathroom facilities. A television in the room would have been a bonus. The food was more than acceptable and the staff very friendly and helpful."

"What a beauty spot! The room, the bathroom and a great shower experience. Lovely little swimming-pool! The breakfast / dinner room and bar are all spot-on.

"What a beauty spot! The room, the bathroom and a great shower experience. Lovely little swimming-pool! The breakfast / dinner room and bar are all spot-on. The place is gorgeous and the staff are lovely and very helpful. And the owners are probably the nicest French people we have ever met. Considerate and warm. They all make you feel the true holiday feeling, you don't have to think of anything, it's all taken care of! It was a pity we only booked for 2 nights.

And on top of that there is a lovely French continental breakfast of eggs and mushrooms, bacon, tomato, fresh fruits, yoghurt and cereals, with milk, bread and marmalade etc. They serve a wonderful dinner! We could get a taste plate of all the kinds of steaks: Kudu, Ostrich, Blessbuck, Zebra and Warthog. A very nice treat! Our little girl of 4 was more then welcome and they made her feel like a little princess! We have all ready recommended to a lot of our South African friends!

We will be back!

"Very pleasant overnight stay in well appointed lodge - one could easily be in a game reserve! Mine Hosts,Isabelle & Christophe, were most attentive and produced an excellent meal."

"The owner and staff were very friendly. The rooms are big and clean. You have to shower outside. That's funny and the shower is great. Breakfast is good and we had a very nice Christmas buffet. It's only 2 km from the entrance of Addo Park."

"Only stayed for 2 days, but was very pleased with the whole experience. Geoff could not have been more helpful. The rooms were really nice and the food was superb. A great wine cellar and I think an honesty bar is always a good sign. Great location and I will go back."

"We booked a one night stay at Elephants Footprint because of it's proximity to Addo Elephant Park and after a full day at the park our party of four arrived there to a warm welcome. We were delighted with our accommodation, a large spacious room, tastefully decorated and the novelty of an outside shower. Added touches included bath robes and slippers. We ate at the Footprint that evening and before dinner had drinks from the honesty bar. We enjoyed our dinner and wine which we discovered in the wine cellar. At breakfast we met the owner who imparted a lot of local knowledge to us.

To sum up, we had a really good experience at the Footprint and would highly recommend it.
