Cybele Forest Lodge, South Africa

Adam Chapman

This lodge is my heaven on earth. Total tranquillity and relaxation personified. The Spa is out of this world and I longed to dip into the Jacuzzi but alas I was only passing through. The rooms are the ultimate in luxury and the food is top notch. Everything about Cybele Forest Lodge screams exclusivity and relaxation. It is the perfect place to unwind before or after a safari. I would recommend a two night stay or longer if time permits.

Holiday to South Africa during September 2010

South Africa Review

I loved it. I did not think it was so developed and so clean and there were no potholes on the roads. My conclusion is that I was very ignorant about the country. The level of developement I foundw as far superior to what I had anticipated and the quality of the food was excellent. In terms of crime...
