Reviews of Charihandra Game Lodge 4 stars

The staff were lovely and the food was great (and affordable). The facilities in the tent (glamping style) were great. I also took a long walk outside the camp (a bit scary) and saw a herd of giraffes up close.

The road!!! I cam to do this review just to warn anyone else: you HAVE to rent a SUV if you want to visit the lodge. The road is in an awful state, and the sedan I hired ... let's just say it's a miracle I didn't get fined by the rental company for damage, because it was near impossible not to scratch it. Also, I felt like if was quite disconnected from everything else, so if you weren't going on all day safaris at surrounding farms...I couldn't really see another reason to stay here for more than 2 days.

Everything about this place was perfect, we wish we could have stayed longer. The staff were so friendly, the room and the surroundings are gorgeous, we hope to come back some day!

The whole area was just great and very clean and nice

I liked everything

Beautiful property, comfortable lodgings, fantastic staff and great food. We did the horse riding experience and rode straight up to a herd of giraffes, which was amazing.

Amazingly comfortable, exquisite food and staff were all so friendly

I can’t say a bad thing about it!

We had a great stay! Staff were very friendly, food was very good, chalet well equipped

Breakfast was nice. Location is the best and so peaceful. I am coming back for sure! Staff is so friendly and the rooms are clean and smell good. Best place to go if you want to unwind and relax.

Nothing.

We were on our own,and the staff went out of their way to accommodate an additional child in our unit.He was very impressed as his bed also had the lovely folded towel and decorations.Must've taken them very long to fold all the intricates from the toiletroll,to the towels&displays on the bed.Gorgeous to hear all the birdlife&sound.Unit was clean,ample firewood was provided.Self-catering stove top&microwave was adequate and unit was serviced daily. We could make fire every night and it was lovely to see the animals roam freely between the units.Definitely more aimed at family friendly environment.Aircon was also handy,but not needed as it was warm enough inside. The outside shower was a delight for the 2 "guys" and the inside large shower and bath...a delight for the lady! Ample fresh water was also provided.Braai equipment&even fire starter provided...and ample coffee&tea.TV in room&wifi signal.

In the afternoon the workshop behind our unit&staff accommodation in the mornings/eves were a bit noisier than would've preferred.Perhaps consider moving some furniture inside the unit and perhaps add a little table that can assist as a working surface as the watercontainer was very large and left limited space to put/do anything.Braai dish also only had one side,so we couldn't close the meat (but made a plan.)Communal area is a bit small to just have a drink,sit next to fire and watch a bit of sport after safari,no TV in communal area - but the outside over pool view is lovely&was fine when it was just us.Wine sold by bottle only.Wifi signal dropped during the rugby watching in our room,but I took the wifi-router out from inside the desk&it resolved.

The View is amazing , the chalet is so Nice and clean and smell good. The kindness of the people there, the guide also it was a beautiful safari with him. The restaurant is Nice as well. We had just One stay but it was the best of my holiday.

The animals and the facilities were beautiful. Delicious food. My husband left a shirt behind, and they kindly couriered it back to us in Pretoria. The staff was very friendly and showed us all around the property.

While the dinner was very good, the portions felt a bit small to us. We loved our beautiful chalet, but our neighbors were talking out on their porch all night and we could hear every word. While there is probably nothing that can be done about thin windows and a thatch roof to make them sound proof, maybe it would help if people were given “quiet hours”, and reminded of such when checking in.

Great Place to relax

Nothing

A lovely lodge, clean and private. Nice to be in the countryside and animals around which can come to the doorstep if lucky. Host are very accommodating to organise your safaris and the restaurant serves delicious food and accommodates for a vegetarian

No negative

Very nice Location with great Safaris! Special thanks to the amazing guide Shane!!

Food was fine but a bit underwhelming for the price.
