This is the best game lodge destination I’ve been to. I highly recommend this property. Louise, Judy and Alice made my 4 day stay a relaxing time. They went out of their way to ensure my stay was peaceful after a stressful couple of weeks travelling. If you’re looking for some downtime at a game lodge near the airport than make your reservation at bird and game lodge . See you all again in a few weeks!

Louise came to pick us up at the airport within 10 minutes of phoning. Super quick. Quick check-in and Louise was very helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. The room was exactly what we needed for 1 night and warm. Staff were on hand to offer help and guidance. I would recommend this property and will stay next time.

Room was adequate for a cheap price. Helpful n very friendly hotel staff. They helped me get a personal driver for touring. Cool to see some animals running around the grounds. FREE breakfast too! Wasn’t so keen about having to run the hot water in the sink n shower for a few minutes in order to get hot water, but it only took a few minutes, just a small minor inconvenience.
