We stayed in the tents at Glen Afric. They were adequate, the beds were comfortable, the shower worked and we always had hot water, however it was pitch black in the bush and the bedside lamps did not give enough light. There were hurricane lamps but one of these had little oil and the other had no wick! We tried... More

We were originally planning to stay at Glen Afric for the final three nights of our South African touring holiday but Glen Afric could not accommodate us on the final night due to a wedding so we stayed only 2 nights. We specifically wanted to stay her because it was the venue of Wild at Heart US TV series. We... More

Rooms are very clean, but basic and good size, mine had a great two person shower! and the staff are very helpful. Breakfast also really good I stayed in the stables which... More

We went to the venue for a friends wedding and the event was something that i'll never forget, beautifully arranged. The lodge was stunning with amazing surroundings and really peaceful. The staff were continually willing to help and give us information and the guides were exceptionally knowledgeable. The rooms, although basic had everything you could need for this type of... More

We took our 40 colleagues to Glen Afric in December for our annual Christmas outing. To start with, the welcome on arrival was outstanding, with the rangers wearing Christmas hats and with an outstanding attitude, to what must have been the umpteenth crowd of company parties! No sign of fatigue whatsoever and a wonderful sense of humour was displayed by... More

We decided to include a trip to Glen Afric in our day trips out of interest in the programme 'Wild at Heart' and before we went on to visit the Lesedi Cultural Village. We initially popped in to have a quick... More

After travelling from Australia and reading all these great reviews I was very disappointed with my so called 'Out of Africa Experience" We stayed in the tents and thats what I expected but it would have been nice if the zips all worked and the kettle! Also it is an extreme hassle if you want a drink or something to... More
