About The Game Lodge Index

Introducing the Game Lodge Index…

The Game Lodge Index is a groundbreaking website for travel agents and tour operators providing an extensive database of safari destinations in Southern Africa. Lodges and camps on the Index have been independently reviewed by African Array.

The website’s ‘Drongo’ search function enables users to search for their ideal safari destination. One can select from 23 different search criteria relating to a user’s personal travel requirements. This could be things like going on a big five safari in a malaria free area, travelling with children, having a good chance of seeing a lion, and wanting to stay in a ‘Green’ certified lodge. A concise list of suitable lodges is then provided from which the user can decide on the most ideal safari experience.

Reviews are based on the Sun & Sun Ray Rating System © which assesses a typical guest’s holistic safari experience when visiting a certain lodge or camp. This takes into account not only the lodging, facilities and service but also and most importantly the quality of the wildlife experience on offer. We also look closely at the unique aspects of each destination and bonus ratings are awarded to lodges taking part in positive conservation work and to those actively involved in the upliftment of their local communities.

There is a wealth of additional information on health factors, countries, safari tips, national parks and prominent reserves. The website is a subscription based site where users can subscribe on a yearly basis.
