A place to just breathe

For nature & wildlife lovers

Activities abound

And carefully decorated huts

Only with Chrislin African Lodge

Exciting Changes Underway

Many of you may notice activity around our swimming pool during your stay. We had originally planned to begin construction in May 2026; however two significant floods left the ground far too saturated to safely commence building. After a two-month delay, work is finally underway.

Our new pool will be three to four times larger than the original, creating an even more relaxing space for guests to unwind. We are aiming for completion by the end of September 2026.

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience during construction and thank you for your patience, it will certainly be worth the wait!

The Restaurant is amazing, great value stunning food, we also had breakfast here too which was fabulous. Tons of added extras around this place towels etc.. If you like wildlife this is a must at day and night 🌙 fridge in the room and close to a very well equipped Spar. Close to the Safari Parks, could easily spend a week here. Will absolutely be coming back loved it !

Unser Wunsch nach einer Massage in der näheren Umgebung wurde innerhalb kürzester Zeit erfüllt. Das Essen im Hauseigenen Restaurant war sehr gut und wurde mit viel Liebe und guten Produkten zubereitet und serviert. Wir wären gerne länger geblieben und würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The food on site is absolutely amazing. So delicious and prepared with lots of love. Much of it is homemade and super tasty. It is currently very cold in South Africa during our visit and we are very happy and grateful for the heated blankets. Wonderful. André gave us super good tips for our next location and helped us with the route. We would give 10 stars. Highly recommended. Thank you Chrislin African Lodge.
