We were now with Aruna and Michel for the second time and once again we enjoyed our stay at Adonsonia. Don't expect a stiff, luxurious safari experience here, but a warm welcome, beautiful nature and delicious hosts. A hidden gem, as far as we are concerned

Super friendly owners, delicious dinner and breakfast and a fun game drive! Definitely recommended if you are on your way to Kruger or if you want to explore the nature of Africa in a quieter place. You will be well taken care of here, beautiful views and two nice dogs on site.

During our stay at Adonsonia Logde we were amazed. The location was great and the Game Drives were great. We were lucky that we had a view of many animals from our stay. For example, we came face to face with a lion and saw a leopard (of course at a safe distance). Michel and Aruna are very friendly and approachable. They gave us very good advice when planning the activities. In addition, both breakfast and dinner were very tasty. All in all an unforgettable experience. Please contact them for tips and advice to make your trip complete!

The lodge is located 40 minutes from the Phalaborwa gate, there is virgin nature all around and at night you can hear the sounds of a pride of lions, and on the way you will meet a herd of impalas. A very comfortable patio where the owners host breakfasts and dinners. During dinner, the hosts adjusted our route, advising the optimal one, which we took advantage of. The room has two separate beds, pleasant interior. Dinner was barbecue chicken and pork.

we were driving in the dark and the road seemed quite difficult, at the entrance you need to pay 300 rand
