Elephants Footprint Lodge  

Tucked in Colchester, just 2 km from the Greater Addo Elephant National Park Southern Gate — the gateway to the Route of the Giants. A short drive from Sundays River Dunes and Matyholweni Gate and within easy reach of the town centre, this family-friendly lodge is perfectly placed for safaris and coastal day trips.

Thatched lapa-style accommodation with en suite rooms gives the place a relaxed, rustic-chic vibe. Rooms are warmly decorated and range from individually styled suites to classic en suites, many with deep soaking tubs, minibars, bathrobes and slippers for a comfy stay.

Soak in outdoor (and listed indoor) pools, lounge on a rooftop terrace, or unwind with a massage in the wellness room. There’s a bar and restaurant, a cozy lobby fireplace, a garden and barbecue area, tour desk and free on-site parking. Free Wi‑Fi keeps you connected while kids burn off energy in the playrooms.

Conference hall and meeting/presentation facilities available, plus luggage storage and transfer assistance. Complimentary wireless internet and free self-parking make it easy to mix work and safari plans.

On-site restaurant and bar serve local cuisine and regional flavours, with a complimentary continental breakfast served daily from 7:30–10:00. Dinner is available on request (booking essential) for a relaxed, hassle-free evening.
