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 offers 3 En-suite bedrooms furnished with either King Bed or Twin bed setup which can accommodate 6 guests. There is a communal lounge, dining area and 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 is the Luxury Suite and our very popular Deluxe River Suites which all 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 and a lovely private patio with braai (Barbeque).
The Deluxe River Suites have a fully equipped kitchen with the option to self-cater or order meals if desired from our ala carte menu.

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.

The African Safari Lodge philosophy is driven by making quality and lasting friendships, bringing guests closer to nature, and ensuring that they experience enduring memories.

African Safari Lodge is one of the best private game reserves we've ever stayed at with a view to die for. Their attention to detail and brilliant facilities leave you needing for nothing. They ensure a comfortable stay in a relaxing environment where all you hear is the occasional birdsong. What sets this experience apart from all the others is the friendly staff and one-of-a-kind manager. Their excitement is contagious and they make this little piece of paradise feel like home! We cannot wait to return!

Our stay at the African Lodge was nothing short of exceptional! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by the warm and friendly staff, who went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Their hospitality truly set this lodge apart from many others we’ve visited in the area. One of the biggest highlights was the range of activities for kids—a rare find at lodges of this caliber. Our children had an unforgettable time experiencing guided fishing trips and safe, well-organized hunting excursions, which were both educational and exhilarating. It’s not every day that kids get to immerse themselves in nature like this! Beyond the activities, the lodge itself was beautifully maintained, with comfortable accommodations and a setting that perfectly balances adventure with relaxation. It’s clear that African Lodge deserves another star, and frankly, that star should come from some of the other establishments in the area that didn’t come close to offering the same level of service, engagement, and warmth. If you’re looking for a lodge that welcomes families, offers unique experiences, and treats you like a valued guest rather than just another booking, this is the place to be. We will definitely be back!

Incredible place , the location is unbelievable, they can arrange anything needed for game drives, and seamless in the delivery of. The team lead by Dean are professional but very friendly and you feel at home immediately. The food was a little disappointing but that would not stop me going back bearing in mind great self catering facilities. They will do anything to make your stay a pleasurable and memorable one. Could not recommend highly enough.

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.
