Elephants Footprint Lodge
1 Riverside Drive, Riverside Park, 6175 Colchester, South Africa – Excellent location – show map
The lodge is right outside of the South Gate of Addo Elephant park- very convenient for our exit from our self-drive through the park. The room was very spacious and comfortable. We added the dinner and loved the lovely way the staff presented the menu to all the guests. And the food was delicious and abundant! Breakfast was included and also very good. The room had an outside shower which we both enjoyed with great water pressure. We would definitely recommend!
