Pros +
- The guesthouse provides a nice breakfast. There is enough parking available. The room was clean and have a nice bed.
- Warm welcome from lovely staff. Great and yummy breakfast and clean and nice swimming pool. Good location from Krugers gate and away from the city bustle.
- fresh airforest environment
Cons -
- The road is very poor if you follow google maps from Gravelotte. You need a SUV to drive it safely. The road from town is much better.
- Stagnant water next the room so that plenty of mosquitoes. Mosquito nets torned so not effective. Bedroom clean but huge doubts that sheets were changed. We can see that there is no improvement on comments posted a couple of years ago. If there is no improvement , this lovely lodge will decline.
- did not serve us dinner

The peace and tranquility was wonderful. The aircons was helpful in the extreme heat. Joshua's friendliness made the place HoMe. He was always everywhere and helped with whatever we asked for. Early in the morning he was already up and going and stayed up untill late at night with us. Normann is Joshua and Jushua is Normann Safari Lodge.Gwen - thank you for my Dad's 80th birthday present
Rooms: The shower messes water in front of the toilet, which takes quite some time to dry and is slippery. No pull-up handles for the elderly at the toilets, mosquito nets are torned. Space around the beds in Rhino room were not enough for my dad and brother. I did pay for 3, but after my brother saw the space he said he will rather sleep in his flat in town. What a pity.Outside: lights can dim at night, and the big tree at the parking area can be protected by tires. I reversed right into it and damage the car's bumper. What a pity
With the location, the poor road from town is the biggest challenge.Breakfast was good.The peace in the bush was calming The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful
The access road from Town is a mess, especially for small ??.
The staff were friendly and the breakfast was good.But the rest of my stay was excellent.
The mosquito nets were not that effective. Could not close properly.
The lodge is in a really beautiful ‘wild life atmosphere’ location. The bungalow was furthermore very comfortable and the staff was really friendly and accommodating. We also enjoyed the breakfsst. And there’s also a refreshing swimming pool.
The gravel road towards the camp is a bit challenging the first time. But once you know it, it is very easy.
We were at self catering chalet, so we didn't went for breakfast The location is good and cool.
The swimming pool and the Jacuzzi was not in good condition, we walked a distance to the other side for swimming.
The breakfast was excellent! Wow, and such friendly staff. We had breakfast at 6 am and it was no hassle for them to prepare it for us that early in the morning.
The staff were very friendly and helpful.
The attitude of the manager was very bad, an accident occurred in the bathroom were by a shower glass broke, the manner that the manager handled the situation was very bad and unprofessional, to even suggest calling the police for a damage/breakage was uncalled for. I think we could have handled the matter in a different way.
Breakfast was great, room clean and comfortable, pool was awesome
Signage display of lodge needs to be more visible, should have refreshments on site even if only cold drinks as it's a bit far to go back into town to buy
The breakfast was okay.
There was no microwave, no fridge no Tv.
breakfast was good
road badrooms not well furnitureshower floor slippery
Facilitie, Staff and breakfast.
Loadshedding is daily, no battery backup lights in Room, There is a bar fridge, but no drinking water, no braai facility to make food, had to drive back to town for supper.
We like love and care for visitors
The road is not good for small cars and it's narrow and dusty .The road has thorn trees and they scratch cars and it has bumps.
The lodge is a few km's from town so it's very quiet and peacefull, the breakfast was great, too much really !
I think there was a miscommunication, I informed the lodge trough booking.com we wanted secure parking (which they had) and dinner at site in the evening, I received answer : "noted", upon arrival we proved the only guests and no dinner available, luckily we still had some snacks so we did not have to return the sandroad into town in the dark for dinner..
The lodge is secluded,perfect for when one needs to be away from the city. All rooms have pool and garden view with bord sounds throughout the day,the tranquility is top notch.The rooms are big with large showers that always have hot water. There are aircons in the room.The staff,mme Antoinette and her team with ntate Josiah,always there to serve with smiles on their faces. I loved everything about Normann Safari bush lodge!
Network is superb ? regardless that, the place is in the bushes
No tea nor kettle or even glasses and water in the rooms.
Breakfast was delicious, prepared by a friendly chef.
The rooms need a bit of improvement, adding of double bed instead of 2 twin beds together, TV system is not a luxury but a necessity it can be boring without it especially for the young ones. Place a table and chairs in a room, seriously I do not need to struggle just to sit down and finally a nice fitting curtains on the sliding doors is a must have.
