We loved this place! The chalets are set in a lush subtropical garden which gives them a sense of privacy. The attention to detail is noticeable everywhere and creates a particularly pleasant atmosphere. The breakfast is lovingly prepared and delicious. We could not have wished for a better place!

Very cosy and well taken care of place. Only a few rooms, very nice breakfast (served in a few courses plus a buffet), walking distance from the town’s center and the walk is considered safe (provided no hippos are on the move 😂).

My daughter and I visited St. Lucia and stayed at Lodge Afrique for three nights. The place is lovely, unique, and very comfortable, a little world unto itself, calm and relaxing. The service is above and beyond. They helped us book and adjust multiple adventures around St. Lucia, and answered any question we had. Breakfasts were excellent and hearty. If we ever have the opportunity to return to St. Lucia, we will definitely stay here again!

We were a bigger group (8 people) who came for 2 nights, and we occupied 4 chalets. It was our second time at Lodge Afrique. A really easy decision to stay there again, because already 7 years ago, we had a wonderful stay there. And once again we were not disappointed. Just a gorgeous setting - lucious and colourful gardens, and tastefully furnished chalets. Also lovely, generous breakfast St. Lucia is worth a short visit, and we recommend Lodge Afrique as your ideal stay-over.
