I had a fantastic stay at Head South Lodge for four nights, kicking off my South African adventure. The highlight was definitely the amazing breakfast spread, featuring fresh fruit, yogurt, and made-to-order hot dishes. While the location was convenient for visiting local attractions, I felt it was safer to take an Uber at night. The staff were super friendly, making my experience even more enjoyable. There were some minor issues, but overall, it was a lovely place to stay.
