Top Cradle of Humankind Hotel Reviews

Glen Afric Country Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about our stay at Glen Afric was amazing! When we arrived our room had been upgraded, and was large with nice touches. The views were incredible, especially the sunsets over the mountains. All staff were so friendly and helpful, they really made an effort to get to know, and help you, nothing was too much!! Talking of too much, the food and drinks were reasonably priced and all freshly made to order. Finally the animals, it was brilliant to see the animals in their natural habitat, giraffes, elephants, zebras, monkeys, etc. just roaming around, the lions, tigers, leopards were in enclosures, but these were very large, and not like a zoo enclosure. We cannot recommend Glen Afric highly enough, and already planning our next visit!!!"
