Guest reviews for Ditholo Game Lodge

Everyone (1)
5 out of 5

Relaxing place to view wild game.

Pros: As Above.
Cons: An early sign on the approach road would help.
Location: The Lodge is around 60km from Warmbaths the last 16 being dirt. Out in the bushveld it is easy to leave city life behind.
We had a little trouble locating the Lodge but once on the right track it wasn't a problem. The accommodation is very nice and comfortable, staff are very helpful. Nothing is a problem and I recommend Ditholo to those who want a few days to relax and see some Afican plains game.
