Voices from the Bush: What Our Guests Say About Sunset Lodge & Safaris

At Sunset Lodge & Safaris, we believe the true measure of a stay isn’t found in star ratings—it’s in the stories guests carry home. From the rustle of the bushveld to the rhythm of the boma fire, every moment is crafted to be unforgettable. But don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what our guests have shared about their time with us.

“We immediately felt at home”

Gerhard E. described his stay as “quiet, peaceful and delicious relaxation.” From the moment he arrived, the neatness and warmth of the welcome made him feel instantly at ease. “I can’t believe there is anything to complain about!” he wrote, giving top marks across the board—from cleanliness to value.

“A lodge with an African safari feel”

Carel B. and his group of friends were enchanted by the lodge’s atmosphere. “The boma and the vistas from the deck were the best,” he shared. Each room’s unique theme added to the charm, and the personalized service left a lasting impression.

Honest reflections: room for growth

Not every review is glowing—and we welcome that. Roy N. (Netherlands) appreciated the beautiful rooms and furnishings but felt the customer service could be more attentive. His feedback reminds us that hospitality is a journey, and we’re always listening.

Global guests, shared wonder

On a game drive, Phillip V. noted the joy of international guests—German and Italian travellers—whose excitement was “uplifting.” Even when sightings were sparse, the shared experience and cultural exchange made the moment magical.

“Wonderful Stay at Sunset”

Ken-Marvin (Germany) wrote: We had a wonderful stay at Sunset Lodge. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Tony and Vincent are also incredibly kind, welcoming, and always available for a chat or a helpful tip. The food was particularly special. It was freshly and healthily prepared every day. We also loved the garden, where you could observe different animals each day – a real highlight. And then there were the breathtaking sunsets, which truly lived up to the lodge’s name. In addition to the fitness room, the beautiful pool was another plus. It’s also a great place to spend a relaxing day. An absolute highlight was the safari tour booked through Tony and Vincent, led by a very friendly and experienced guide – a breathtaking day and highly recommended! Sunset Lodge is a place where you not only feel comfortable and can enjoy absolute peace and quiet, but where you are also truly welcomed. We would return in a heartbeat!
