Unique & Special:
Stay for a few days in this special and unique experience place and do some exclusive top class Tours which are based right here at Airport Game Lodge. When you open your huge sliding glass door (or just the curtain), you don't look at the door on the other siide of the passage; instead you see free roaming animals - here you immerse in nature...
There is a transfer service to several good restaurants in the area - drinking & driving is not a problem!
Location:
Although situated a mere 10 km north of Johannesburg International Airport, at the edge of the built up area, the secluded Airport Game Lodge combines the solitude of the African bush with the convenience of modern-day living. The lodge is ideally located for business and leisure travelers passing through Johannesburg. Owing to its location the lodge is the perfect start or end to any African tour. Airport Game Lodge is furthermore ideally situated for travelers with early departures or late arrivals. It is also suitable for day visitors - day rooms are available between connecting flights - as well as travelers wanting a home base while exploring the treasures of Southern Africa.
Some international businesses use Airport Game Lodge to meet and do event training or exchange face to face – there is a conference facility.
Standard, Superior & De Lux Rooms:
Luxury accommodation is provided in well-appointed rooms in a landscaped garden,with animals literally in front of your door, overlooking the untouched bush and Rietvlei stream.
Each room comes complete with a shower, separate toilet, hairdryer, and free WiFi (which allows virtually unlimited viewing on any personal device via the internet as if you were at home ). We also provide some interleading rooms available for families traveling together (Rooms 1 & 2, Rooms 9 & 10 are in the 21 sq. m Standard room category. Rooms 13 & 14, Rooms 20 & 21 are in the 27sq. m Superior room category.) There is complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the lodge. We are open 24/7.
Extras:
A luggage and car storage facility is available (with several regular guests who “store” their campers and cars safely here).
Corporate Culture:
Airport Game Lodge is also a Green Friendly Lodge (solar geysers, energy saver lighting, recycling, linens, and towels washed with biodegradable detergents). We operate according to the "Fair Trade" principles: You are doing good whilst enjoying yourself!
FREE Airport Transfer 24/7:
We offer a FREE airport transfer. To have a successful transfer we would require the below to be in place:

Excellent location to start your South Africa adventure from , ideally located near the Airport and comes with a free airport shuttle service , the Lodge is set in a well maintained large, and very secure area. bordered by their own small animal game reserve where they just love to stroll up to the fence and make friends with you. Outstanding staff team, and an equally excellent manager who always takes the time to chat to her guests .For sure, if we ever return to South Africa we will revisit the game lodge .

This is one of the most unique places I have stayed at (and I have travelled a lot!). Special shout out to Rodney at the front desk, who always went out of his way to help out and make us all feel welcome! The only thing which could be better was that there was an issue with our water which meant I had to go without a shower for a day. The staff were very quick to try and fix the problem the best they could though.

Simple place to stay overnight with comfortable rooms and good food. All the staff are friendly and it was nice to see the deer and antelope and ostriches. Not far from Joburg airport and good in between place to stay before heading to Kruger.

It is a very peaceful place where you can observe some wild animals already. All the staff is very kind and helpful. The room was cleaned and prepared with love from Ayida. The beds are very comfortable. Only the shower is not working properly. We just stayed one beautiful night.

We stayed one night only at the end of our South Africa trip, and I was very impressed. The airport game lodge is only a short 15 minute drive to the airport which is perfect, and we enjoyed a very lazy morning before our 2pm flight, chilling in the hammocks next to the ostriches, deer and various Antelope! After a perfect breakfast from Monica and her team. Really appreciated the ethos of the hotel supporting locals. Happy also left our room very clean. Beds were comfy but not amazing, and the rooms were very spacious but not luxury. Would definitely recommend as an easy airport/end of trip stay! They also offered free airport transfers and there was lots to do around the ground. Appreciated having an outdoor bars gym
