We have stayed at Aftons and Africa Sky.
I prefer Aftons. My wife likes some of the aspects of Africa Sky.
We have had nice rooms at both locations.
The Airport Pick up service was better from Aftons.

We had a “misplaced” rifle and Gilbert did not help us sort it out. Saw the rifle case go into pick up area but did nit did not make it to the actual pick up room.

Additionaly we paid for a VIP service Africa Sky but was lumped in with another group. Our group was 12 people. It turned into a goat rope when the other group was added to ours. I discussed this with Africa Sky and we were refunded the appropriate fees. So hats off to them for making it right.

Our return trip in 27 will be a stay most likely at Aftons.

I have stayed at both Afton and Africa Sky, this last trip I stayed at the Airport Intercontinental. No hassle, no car ride - just grab a cart and roll your stuff across the street.

If you book with Gracy, their person at JNB will take care of that. (Ask for Nicole x234) Also Rifle Permits can too.

In six trips over, I have needed to layover. But for 2026 I am arriving 2 days early before departing to Moz with Tsala. I chose to stay Africa Sky, so far it has been easy process to book. Leoni was pleasure talk to on phone and handle booking.

I always use rifle permits for my meet and greet with them helping me through customs, immigration, police station then collect my baggage to City Lodge
