"Safari Club SA review"

1 night Arrived 12 Jul 2023
"The location of the Safari Club SA was perfect for our needs as we wanted to be near to the airport. The staff were all kind and friendly. We enjoyed chatting to the owner as well.

The food (dinner and breakfast) was all delicious.

The one aspect which wasn't perfect was our accommodation. As we are a family of five we were not in one of the standard rooms located around the courtyard, but in a separate section towards the back of the property. This backed onto the property next to it (a warehouse I think). Unfortunately it was rather loud - a door opening and closing very regularly and we could hear the people talking as they went into and out of the building. This made it rather difficult to fall asleep." See all these reviews: 3n in Botswana; 3n in Zimbabwe; 1n in South Africa

"Safari Club SA review"

1 night Arrived 31 Aug 2022
"The Safari Club is adequate for a one night stop over in Johannesburg.

The host was welcoming and our room was both clean and comfortable.

There was some confusion over whether our departure transfer was private but the confusion was quickly resolved." See all these reviews: 13n in Zimbabwe; 1n in South Africa

"Easy layover spot"

1 night Arrived 12 Aug 2013
"Our time here was very short. We were to be met at the airport by Safari Club and brought to the property but there was no representative waiting and we and another party were only picked up after a couple of phone calls to Safari Club.

Once we arrived, the staff were very nice and apologetic and gave us a bottle of wine with dinner for our troubles. The room was big and comfortable." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia; 2n in Botswana; 1n in South Africa

"Good sleep after overnight flight from London"

1 night Arrived 11 Jun 2012
"We were glad that Maruska had the foresight to book us into the Safari Club upon arrival in JoBurg
after our all-night flight from London. We were not met at the airport as expected, but instead paid
about $15US for a taxi to Safari Club. After a short delay, we were led to our large ensuite family room with four
single beds, tub and shower. Since we hadn't slept on the flight, we all fell asleep for most of the day.
Dinner was served in the lobby table area. A plentiful breakfast was served in a separate room. The van
took us back to the airport for our flight to Maun." See all these reviews: 10n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe; 1n in South Africa

"As per my intial comment - a great location and having the option to order dinner was also convenient. The only thing is a child's menu or child size serve would've been a nice option." See all these reviews: 20n in Namibia; 5n in Mozambique; 4n in Zimbabwe; 2n in South Africa; 2n in Botswana

"Great introduction to Africa"

1 night Arrived 11 Jun 2011
"The Safari Club was a great choice as it was close to the airport and was a hassle free transfer. As our flight had been delayed by 4 hours we missed any opportunity to order dinner so it would've been nice if they had been able to offer us something other than a yoghurt and apple. (not a major issue though).

Our room was great - the 'thatched roof' gave us a taste of what was to come, the room was spacious, the beds were comfortable and everything was in working order.

We would definately recommend this as a stop over point" See all these reviews: 20n in Namibia; 5n in Mozambique; 4n in Zimbabwe; 2n in South Africa; 2n in Botswana
