"Natur pur mit kleinen Abstrichen"

7.0

Wir hatten einen sehr naturverbundenen Aufenthalt in der Barefoot Addo Elephant Lodge. Die Lage ist einfach traumhaft – mitten in der Wildnis, man genießt eine tolle Ruhe und ist ganz nah dran an der Natur. Ein absolutes Highlight war der Elefanten-Spaziergang, den wir so schnell nicht vergessen werden! Auch das Personal war durchweg sehr freundlich und bemüht. Den Gamedrive fanden wir persönlich etwas zu „vogellastig“ – das ist natürlich Geschmacksache, aber wir hatten uns mehr Fokus auf die größeren Wildtiere erhofft.

Ein wichtiger Punkt: Die Zimmer sind leider sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Hier besteht unserer Meinung nach dringender Renovierungsbedarf, um dem restlichen Standard der Lodge gerecht zu werden. Wer über die Zimmer hinwegsehen kann, findet hier eine wunderbare Oase der Ruhe!

"Magnifique lodge au milieu d'une réserve"

9.0

Très belle expérience! La réception/lieu de repas, salon commun et absolument magnifique en plus d'être spacieux. En pleine nature sans se sentir perdu. Lodges très confortables, le petit poêle était d'un grand réconfort. Le réveil magique avec les girafes au loin pile en face de notre lodge. Très bon petit déjeuner. raffiné et généreux, le game drive avec Jordan sur leur réserve était un voyage magique avec les animaux et très intéressant avec le partage de Jordan sur les animaux et la nature. Le personnel est très gentil et aidant en prime.

Des coupures d'électricité qui ont durée toute la nuit jusqu'à notre départ nous empêchant de recharger nos appareils

Location was lovely, but road is not for the faint hearted.. accommodation was great. Ceiling fan wasn't working but staff gave me a table fan which was superb. Food was fantastic.. The elephant walk was amazing. Staff were superb.

The road was a bit of a challenge after rainfall, but the staff came and helped me out.

Frühstück und Dinner waren sehr lecker. Die Lodge ist super schön eingerichtet. Gemütlich und besonders wenn in den Kaminen das Feuer abends lodert. Der Schlafraum ist originell und man kommt sich vor wie in einem Baumhaus. Das Bett schön groß und bequem. Das Erlebnis mit den Elefanten auf Tuchfühlung zu gehen, war außergewöhnlich.

De tenten

De weg ernaar toe, het personeel dat niet echt bekwaam was, de vele fouten die gebeurden in opname van bestellingen, geen stock van wijn, 1 witte en 1 rode, geen bubbels in de ijskast enz..... jammer geen management aanwezig
