Barefoot Addo Elephant Lodge - Luxury Family Villa

Olivia & Lungi made us feel very welcome from the word go and looked after us very well during our stay. Lovely villa with lots of space. Seeing the animals up close to the villa was amazing. The pool was a great bonus in the heat. G & T's all around.

Would have been nice to have a choice of menus. Seemed to be a lack of communication with Safari times, and when the Elephants were going to be in the area around the villa. This could have been made clearer, and it would have added greatly to the experience. The Safari is not really worth it. Enthusiastic guide but the bush is so thick you cant see any animals. Power cuts and water cuts didn't help. Solar would be a great investment here for this level of accommodation. Yes the road to Barefoot is a very very long one. 4x4 was a great help. Time to drive to Addo main gate is closer to 1.5 hrs and not about an hour...

We stayed in the private family villa and were hosted by Olivia and our chef Soso. They made our stay just the most incredible experience. Soso’s talent in the kitchen kept us so well fed and his culinary skills are second to none. Olivia made sure that our every need was catered to. The villa is in the most incredible location with wildlife grazing in the garden of an evening - zebra, wilderbeast, impala. Elephants visited several times a day with their keepers and the giraffes were a joy to watch. Would recommend to anyone.

Having to leave 😔

We had the best time in the villa!!! We were really spoiled by George and Luanda, the chef. The food was impressively good, better than good restaurants. The activities were awesome as well. Perfect, 11/10.
