Griffons Bush Camp — Hotel in Thabazimbi Local Municipality

All agreed it’s a trip to be repeated…next time just a few...

Unfortunately we cannot even review the lodge because our booking was cancelled after 4 months have passed since payment was made. We are running the Marakele marathon and booked specifically early as it gets swamped with runners.

The marathon is 1 month away. We wont be able to get accomodation near to the event.

This is unacceptable and not in good spirit. Apparantly the chalets were damaged by elephants.This could not be verified. No letter. Only a call from Lekkerslaap.

We wont recommend this lodge as guests are not important enough for a personal call or proper explanation when a booking of 4 months ago has...
