Chrislin is set among lawns, trees and aloes on a former citrus farm. The lodge offers thatched huts with stylish African decor and heat-banishing walls of cow dung and mud, and luxurious units with air-con. Activities including open-vehicle Addo safaris are offered, as are delicious three-course dinners (R250). It's a refreshingly cool and rustic spot after a day spotting elephants.
