AM Lodge

We went here specifically for the spa. Great staff, very professional and overall beautiful experience. The one problem was that the website location takes you to the wedding venue which is a few minutes away. Also very crucial. No signs showing that there are actual wild cats around there. We saw 2 lions by chance. Imagine if we'd gotten out the car for pictures.

Very welcoming team where nothing is too much trouble. From the moment we landed, we felt special and looked after. The lodge is beautiful, the rooms are luxurious, the staff are attentive, available and professional. We couldn’t ask for more. The rooms are a short walk away from the main facility, because they have resident lions, leopards, buffalos, you’ll need a staff escort going to and from your room - which makes it fun. This place is a dream place, you can sip your coffee while monkeys and wildebeests are walking by. We felt in a bubble and definitely recommend this place. Drive games were fantastic, Leonard and Bongani went above and beyond to find the Big 5’s. We enjoyed every game ! Thanks to Madeleine, Johann and the entire team for looking after us.

We had an amazing 4 nights at AM Lodge. The rooms are large with an outdoor shower and all amenities that need. The food was great, with chef Lorenzo enquiring what we like/don’t like so we ate really well. The drives were great with knowledgeable guides and trackers. For some animals you drive 30mins to start at another reserve to see elephants etc. but it’s well worth jt. In the local park they have Rhinos which we saw twice.

The staff, the rangers, the spa and the tranquility.. all out of this world. Our private chef made sure that she makes breakfast different everyday. The finishes and all oh wow!! The game drive was excellent, managed to see almost all the animals including the lions(Gustav and his partner), we continued to see more as we relaxed around the pool at our Villa. The bush walk was another experience with all the bush games and tracking 101 that we got. My family had a good time. Will do it over and over...Keep up the good work AM Luxury team.

The culinary experience was really disappointing considering how much the place costs. Breakfast was the same for the 2 days we were there and it was just basic, nothing special. Lunch I had a tasteless and dry “chicken burger”. I had to ask for hot sauce to at least have a bit of flavour. I kept adding salt and pepper too, it was that bad. Dinner was usually better but still very basic and not what you would expect from a five star. The biggest problem here is that there isn’t even variety with the food so because we didn’t like the food were just starving most of the time. The rooms are really nice. They are beautiful you feel really comfortable but the standard is not matched when it comes to dining. The game drive was a bit disappointing because there isn’t much to see. I went to three game drives and all we saw was giraffes, Buffalos and impalas. They said there’s only 3 lions in the entire concession so imagine going for a game drive looking for 3 lions. The ranger and the tracker were very nice, they really made the situation bearable.
