Amafu Forest Lodge

It was nice being there, the place ,location was so relaxing and hearing the lions roar at night its an awesome experience.

The lodge is located on the hillslopes of Mariepskop with beautiful views over the bushveld. Great for birdsong and bird watching. You can even hear the Moholoholo lions during the day and night. Unfortunately, the tents are in need of some maintenance and the self-catering kitchenette was poorly equipped.

Pledge and all the other staff, you were excellent and always friendy and helpfull. I really enjoyed my stay in the luxury tent. You will definitely see me again. Always willing tobwall the extra mile. The scenery is unbelievable and the bonus of the lions roaring in the background.

We visited Amafu Forest Lodge in December, where we encountered friendly staff, enjoyed delicious food at the restaurant, and had a fantastic time overall. What struck us the most was the privacy of our cottage, especially the Pauci cottage. The layout ensured that the other cottages were not close by, and the surrounding trees provided ample privacy. This allowed us to feel truly secluded in nature, creating a wonderfully romantic atmosphere for us as a couple.

Very warm welcome and service for dinners and breakfasts, superb location, wonderful views from our luxury tent, prices ok, location right in between the Panorama Road and the Kruger National Park....

Spent 2 nights at Amafu lodge. Service was excellent. Pledge and Steve(owner) made us feel very welcome and were very helpful. Location is great, situated next to Moholoholo Rehab center, so we could hear the lions at night. Also ideal to visit both Moholoholo and The Hoedspruit endangered wildlife center (make sure you get bookings for Endangered wildlife beforehand). Also very convenient for a trip up Maripskop. The cabin was comfortable and had a kitchenette with all equipment necessary for self catering. The cabin was well kept. but needed some maintanance. Due to the hot weather we made use of the swimming pool, which was well maintained. Unfortunately the sun umbrellas were broken, so we moved our chairs into the shade provided by the trees. Overall a good stay.
