Great place with great facilities and lots of excursion options! You won’t go hungry either. The owners are nice folks and they have a great staff. They have the best field guide in all of South Africa in Albert so definitely ask for him! We saw all of the big 5, loads of animals, fed elephants, petted cheetahs and saw baby rhinos! After 6 days, we then went to Kruger for 3 nights and drove the panorama route at the end. Albert guided us the entire time. Great Trip!!
Thank you for the fantastic review! We are so glad you enjoyed the facilities, excursions, and meals. It’s wonderful to hear you had such an amazing experience with Albert and saw all the Big 5! We hope to welcome you back soon for more adventures.
African spirit game lodge is a very nice lodge. the rooms are big and have everything one needs. The laundry service is perfect and cheap. The food is great especially the dinners. All the staff is very helpfull and also give you great advice what kind of activities one can do. Furthermore, they are very helpful and do whatever they can to make your stay great.
I loved the pangolin experience but also being allowed to take part in a rhino dehorning, a collaring of a cheetah or getting to know how to track animals correctly as well as the elefant experience was a once in a lifetime experience and great fun. The lodge also offer affordable game drives where I saw many elefants, white rhinos, buffalos, many different ungulates, slender mongoose, great birdlife including an owl and a lion on my last game drive.

From the African Spirit Game Lodge Team
This lodge is a hiden gem in the heart of Zululand. Friendly and inviting staff, great food and the view from the deck is one of my favourite spots on earth!
A highly memorable and enjoyable experience thanks to qualified staff, with an aim to provide great service all around.
We absolutely love Bush holidays, and this was no exception. Just a quick weekend getaway. The lodge is comfortable, and communal areas are well maintained. The 6 Sleeper Zebra Hill chalet was well equipped, comfortable and spacious. Decor was authentic African and tasteful. The bathrooms, however, could definitely use upgrading and modernisation. And the cleaning could be more thorough. Also, a generator or solar power that powers up even just outdoor lighting would be great for times when there is no electricity. Especially when you need to braai/barbecue outdoors at night. A few extras like citronella candles will also be great for that special touch. Game drives were good, given that the ranger was new and inexperienced. I'm sure he will get better with more confidence. But we did have some good sightings. Staff were very welcoming. We would definitely go back, and I do hope upgrades are on the cards as this is one of the nicer, unpretentious self-catering lodges in Manyoni.
