Grace of Africa, Couples 5 Star Nature Lodge

What a find! From the moment Mathew Grace reached out to me through my internet search for Kruger safaris he took absolute care and attention over crafting a tailor made itinerary that was out of this world. Grace of Africa is a beautiful retreat designed and built with love and passion, with guests, wildlife and conservation at the heart of the business. The accommodation is beautiful, comfortable and so peaceful. Here you are transported to a place where every beautiful artefact represents a piece of Africa and each one placed with such perfection for design. The operation is seamless. Mikey, Isaac and Lawrence attentively took care of our every need, and Lindewe catered wonderfully for our dietary requirements with great adaptations for a vegan diet. We had 5 days on safari with the most fantastic guide who was so intuitive and had the most wonderful understanding of the bush and its wildlife. We saw everything and more and this was entirely down to her expertise and patience. A fabulous bush dinner and a day visiting the Blyde river canyon panorama route were also included in the itinerary. Both were incredible experiences. Grace of Africa has left a mark on us all and we would unreservedly recommend a stay here. Beautiful accommodation, fantastic food and fabulous staff - you could not do better.

Grace of Africa is a beautiful lodge and wonderful experience. I recommend anyone traveling to South Africa to stay there. You won't regret it. Lodge is beautiful and the food is wonderful. The staff was great and made sure that we were very well tended to.

We stayed at Grace of Africa for a week over New Year and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The accommodation and surrounding areas were all that we could wish for. Amazing traditional South African food and Michael was the perfect host . The safari itself was unforgettable and many very happy memories made. We would 100% recommend staying here.

My family of 4 with kids aged 23 and 25 stayed at Grace of Africa for one night on route further into safari area. Warmly greeted by owners Nicolette and Matthew, introduced us to our butler Michael who took great care of us and any need we had. The accommodations were just stunning with great attention to detail to the decorating. The bathroom gorgeous! And the outdoor shower amazing! The pool was wonderful as it was a heat wave when we arrived , so immediately cooled off in that. The food was absolutely delicious! We loved the “mom and pop” and lamb, soooo good! So nice to try local food. We each had our own villa, patio, boma. Monkeys wandering around the property. We went for a guided bush walk with Wayne who is so knowledgeable, it was a real treat to hear his stories. We came upon a herd of elephants and Buffalo on our way to our “Sundowner”. What a sight! So peaceful and amazing to sit with a drink and look across the Crocodile River to view 2 of the Big 5! The evening brought a wicked lightening storm which was so exciting to sit outside and watch that, while sharing stories and laughs with Michael and Lawrence. Such wonderful people, in such a short time of being together, we felt we’ve known them a long time. So comfortable. It was hard to leave Michael in the morning. Such a gracious host. Wish we had more time at Grace of Africa. A gem in South Africa!

We stayed 4 nights at grace of africa in a private hut. Since there were only 2 other huts in the resort, it mostly felt like we had it all to ourself, including the pool. The appartment was spacious and kept clean everyday. The food provided was divers and very tasty. And special meeds were fulfilled. We were also heavily supported by booking and managing all our activities during the stay, like safaris, tours, walks, etc. A spar is a few hundrer meters next to the lodge, making snack groceries very easy. Great hospitality from everyone of the staff, thanks y'all!
