From the very first moment and the warm welcome this was an unforgettable experience. The lodges, the setting (even the amazing 28km gravel track to get in!), the staff & the food were first class. Top all of that off with an elephant encounter and you have memories that will last a lifetime! The ladies there arranged a half-day guided safari for us at nearby Addo Game Reserve - thoroughly recommend that too.

Alta, Tracy and Godwin were very welcoming and very attentive. The rooms are all external to the superb main Lodge. I highly recommend this Lodge in it's own small but game filled reserver, separate from the main Addo Elephant Sanctuary which is some 55 minutes drive away. Our villa\cabin\room was on its own (as all are) bur secluded in the bush. Our car could be parked very close but there were well lit gravel paths to the main Lodge. It was not obviously apparent from booking with Exepedia that there were cabins with views over the valley and reserve, We would have tried to book one of those if we knew of their existence. The feature of ours was a stream running by the external private deck. The deck had a Jacuzzi but it was covered with canvas, which we I lifted it showed that it needed cleaning of leaves and debris. I'm sure that if we wanted to use it they would have jumped to clean it for us. The lunch and dinner menus are set but they do ask if you have any dietary requirements. Good wine selection, In the booking format presented by Expedia,

The lodge was nice but it was in the middle of nowhere! We also felt we were ‘fleeced’ for our trip to Addo. Our friends were charged half what we were charged for their exact same game drive. We were taken from the lodge on a very uncomfortable 1.5hr drive in an old truck that did not even have air conditioning.

Wir waren leider sehr enttäuscht von der Lodge. Die Anfahrt ist mit einem normalen PKW eigentlich unzumutbar und bei vorherigem Regen nicht machbar! Der Gemeinschaftsbereich ist sehr schön, aber das war’s dann auch schon! Die Unterkünfte sind deutlich in die Jahre gekommen und bedürfen einer Modernisierung. Das Personal ist bemüht, aber nicht sehr geschult und wirkt teilweise unbeholfen. Das Abendessen (in Buffetform !) war wohlwollend betrachtet bestenfalls durchschnittlich, das Frühstück ebenso. Die Lage soweit abseits macht einen Besuch des Addo-Nationalpark sehr umständlich. Fazit: Gutes Marketing - aber erfüllt die Erwartungen nicht; definitiv die lange und beschwerliche Anfahrt nicht wert.
