Featuring outdoor, rock waterfall showers, all Elephants Footprint Lodge rooms overlook the pool and garden.

Very nice owner and people who work there. Great and authentic dinner (self made!). Great support of the staff for planning a route in Addo. Nice outdoor shower. Also the location is very nice, just a few mins by car to the south entrance. We went with our small daughter (12 months) and it was great and also very children friendly (we had a high chair and a baby bed). I can really recommend this accommodation!

The friendly staff went completely out of their way to ensure that our anniversary was as special as they could make it. Our stay was better than we could have imagined thanks to them!

Great stay with super friendly staff. Also the 'attached' restaurant is great for breakfast and dinner. The 'hut' is a little humid which can cause some smell but that's the only downpoint. Green and tranquil surroundings :-) They can arrange multiple activities for you, very convenient.

    Beautiful house with inside parking also super close to addo elephant park. The owner was very kind and helpful. She helped us booking our safari and gave us packed breakfast because we were living early. Very close to the only restaurant there is in the city

    Had an amazing stay at Parkview Safari Lodge. Located close to the southern entrance to Addo the lodge was very peaceful and luxurious, simply superb. Staff were friendly and helpful and would certainly recommend this lodge for anyone looking to stay whilst visiting Addo Elephant Park.

    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! :-)

    Beautiful lodge. Everything clean, very friendly staff and situated very close to the Addo NP. Many valuable information for tours. The breakfast was excellent with homemade rolls and whatever else you need. But the best was the 3 course dinner. We had fantastic Kudu, Ostrich and Warthog, prepared in different ways with different and very tasty sides! In a nutshell, one of the best lodges we have ever been to!

    I have always wanted to stay in a safari tent and this was exceptional in my opinion. Not only was our tent right next to Addo Elephant Park where we saw a lone elephant grazing in the evening sun, but it was also supremely comfortable, appointed in a colonial style and with a deck and a separate seating area too. We had our own braai in the main lodge in the evening, the staff were really friendly and accommodating too. I only wish we had been able to stay another night!

    The staff at Elephant's Footprint Lodge was super helpful. Due to a traffic jam we came back very late, but they waited and kept dinner ready for us. Additionally, they took great care of us around breakfast and helped us organise additional activities around our stay such as an amazing Safari in a Private Game Reserve.
