The location is perfect as we were also going for a day visit at the Addo Elephant national park, which was also organised for us at Dungbeetle, in their very comfortable and well equipped Safari with a great knowledgeable guide. This is just the highlight, everything about our stay was perfect, not to mention the breakfast, you do not want to miss it!

Welcoming owners and managers. Great location, the bird life is abundant, the river view is so calming and the hearty breakfast is top class. They also arrange activities for you that they operate or another provider operates.

We had such an amazing experience at Elephant's Footprint Lodge. The staff were so friendly and accomodating to our needs. The rooms are extremely spacious and I loved the rustic thatch roof and outdoor stone shower. The cosy lounge area is amazing with the fire and the food was exceptional! The location is fantastic for exploring the Addo region. I would highly recommend staying at the lodge.

The location next to the river is excellent and Addo is just a short drive away. The view from our room was stunning and the breakfast a very nice bonus. The hosts are friendly and very knowledgeable about the area and Addo.

The breakfast was really good and even included fresh bread. The room was very quite and clean. There is an Eco side to it as sink water is used to water the grass. Excellent location.

Breakfast was lovely, especially with all the little jars of jam each table gets. Also the warm baked bread and the fresh orange juice was a nice extra. Location was superb as the south entrance to Addo Elephant park was just 10 min away.

Fabulous location with breakfast overlooking the Sundays River. Lovely cooked breakfast with fresh bread. The trip into Addo organised by Dungbeetle River Lodge was also excellent and our guide was very informative and able to get us to all the right spots to see as many animals as possible.

We had an evening meal and breakfast. Both were adequate and pleasant. The location is close to the Addo National park which makes it good value for an overnight stop before entering the park.
