About African Safari Lodge

African Safari Lodge is situated on a private game reserve 17km outside of Grahamstown. The lodge is perched 20 meters above the high-water mark on the Settlers dam with breath-taking views upriver. Animal and bird sightings along the riverbanks are a guaranteed occurrence from the spacious viewing porches. The Lodge borders the Thomas Baines Nature Reserve, situated in the main water catchment area of Grahamstown at the confluence of two rivers – the dominant Kariega River flowing 40km further to meet the Indian Ocean at Kenton-on-Sea. The beach is 45km from our Lodge, perfect for a day trip.

African Safari Lodge is a nature lover's paradise with dense ravine thickets, scattered thorn trees and open areas making this an idyllic outdoor experience.

The Lodge can be booked in its entirety or per room depending on the need. The Kudu, Nyala and Impala rooms can be booked individually on a B&B basis.

The Lodge offers 3 En-suite bedrooms furnished with either King Bed or Twin bed setup which can accommodate 6 guests. There is an additional Loft room with three single beds suitable for children. There is a communal lounge, dining area, bar with undercounter fridges and a fully equipped kitchen.
The Lodge has a spacious patio with braai (barbeque) area where one overlooks the river where one can view antelope among many other animals and birdlife.

Separate from the Lodge are the Deluxe River Suites which have their own spectacular view of the Kariega River. Each suite has a King size bed or Twin bed set up, full En-suite bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen and private patio with braai facilities.
The suites capture the spirit of nature and luxury in one unique experience.

African Safari Lodge provides accommodation with free WiFi, BBQ facilities, a spacious patio with magnificent views, and free private parking. Amenities available to guests include fans and ceiling fans, an electric blanket, and a hairdryer.

It was a truly wonderful experience altogether! This game reserve has an unique and wonderful scenery due to river, which offers many activities. We enjoyed boat cruise on sunset and were able to observe even fish eagle! Also I highly recommen guided walk, which was very informative. Deluxe suites were excellent, clean ant tastefully furnished. Food was great. Whole stuff super friendly and puts a lot of effort to make your stay special.

We celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary at African Safari Lodge. Our hosts, Fay and Mike, made our stay thoroughly enjoyable. Our Deluxe River Suite was something you've seen on Top Biling. Filled with a huge dreamy bed, a luxurious bathtub where you can soak away the stresses of city life, private patio, and built-in braai overlooking the Settlers Dam. At night, you can open the concertina doors and have the sounds of nature fill your room, lulling you to sleep. For a small additional fee, they have an on-site Chef who is available to prepare scrumptious breakfasts, lunches, and suppers. For those who are a bit adventurous, such as ourselves, you can go canoeing on the dam, allowing you to spot some magnificent bird species and other wildlife, perhaps even a Buffalo or two! There are giraffe, warthog, monkeys, many different buck and even a snake or two. We went for a short hike, and we're able to spot some very special sights. This is truly a hidden gem! Do your soul a favor and go spend some time at African Safari Lodge! You won't be disappointed. Thank you for the most memorable stay. We will most definitely be back.

Peace, tranquility, and 5 star comfort. We spent our 5th wedding anniversary at the very special African Safari Lodge! Our hosts, Fay and Mike, went above and beyond to ensure our stay was one of comfort and thoroughly enjoyable. Their friendliness made us feel right at home. Our suite, which overlooked the water, allowed us to experience the sounds of the bush and birdlife. We spent a wonderful morning canoeing on the dam, trying to spot the variety of birds and wildlife the Lodge is home to. We were blessed to spot a Buffalo wallowing on the bank of the dam. Spotted some giraffe, a family of warthogs, an owl, and many different birds. After a day of adventures, we were happy to retreat to our suite and relax in front of a fire. Our suite provided for our every need, with housekeeping and a wonderful, friendly gentleman named Gift who was always happy to show us around. Thank you, African Safari Lodge, for a most wonderful 5th wedding anniversary. We will most definitely be back!

Another gem found, ticking all the boxes. Self-catering(with Braai) within a game reserve! Beautiful views over the water, spacious and quiet! Accommodation had all the necessities like heated blanket, heated fan to keep us warm and comfortable! Mike was a legend, going the extra mile on the game drive, sharing his wisdom and knowledge of the surrounding area, animals and vegetation. Fay and Gift were very attentive, with friendly gestures and regular check-in during our stay. Definitely recommended it's been an absolute pleasure!

Wow is a small word, but this is how we experienced our stay. The rooms are spacious, and the kitchen fits all your needs . If you need a brake away from the hussel, this will be your destination as you will enjoy the scenery, birds, wildlife like buchbuck, buffalo just to name a few so do take you binoculars with. They offer game drives and boat cruises, and you can canoe at your own leasure. I need to commend the housekeeping team as the rooms are spotless. Thanks to Mike for sharing all his knowledge about the area, we had a great chat. Thanks to Fay for updating us on all my questions prior to our stay. I will highly recommend African Safari Lofge to any person, couple, or family as you will not be disappointed
