Set on indigenous gardens, overlooking a sparkling pool, surrounded by an abundance of birdlife. Welcome to the place where people come as guests and leave as friends! If you are looking for peace, tranquility and a luxurious atmosphere we invite you to be our guest at the African Lodge, nestled in a leafy suburb north of Johannesburg (South Africa) and situated on a little piece of paradise in Buccleuch, the undiscovered jewel of Sandton, midway between the N1 (from Pretoria and Roodepoort / Cape Town), the N3 (from Durban and Johannesburg International Airport).
