This is a beautiful lodge in an amazing location with equally amazing staff. The guides do keep in contact with one another should there be an unusual sighting. However, because the lodge is in the national park they are not allowed off road. The game drives were good and we were lucky enough to see quite a lot of wildlife. Which means your party of 12 or less will be the only guests at the lodge. It boasts five unique South Africa luxury hunting safari lodges which your group will enjoy exclusively. This destination has three fantastic and diverse hunting properties which total over 200,000 acres. Another day meant we could have used the pool or spa.

This did mean that we only had about an hour free before dinner. WHERE TO STAY Addo Elephant National Park Main Camp. Saw lots of zebra, wildebeest, rhinos and spiders up close. with South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana, Namibia, & Rwanda Fodor's Travel Guides. He kept the walking pace suitable with frequent stops for water and to catch our breath whilst learning about the plants and animals in the bush. Our ranger was fantastic and knowledgeable. We also booked the three hour bush walk at 10.30 which meant we still had all our game drives. We were also lucky enough to be entertained by a group of local women and children singing and dancing. Dinner is inside the main building with the quality and quantity of food excellent. High tea was taken just before the afternoon drive where you sit with your ranger and others from your safari vehicle, a great way to get to know people. The food was excellent and the staff very attentive and friendly. Take your binoculars to breakfast as all the tables are positioned facing over the valley with spectacular views. Lovely if you were in any other room, but it was disconcerting to find the staff taking a short cut back in front of our lodge whilst you were in the shower! Was particularly impressed with the provision of refillable metal drinks bottles for water instead of single use plastic ones. The only negative was the shower had a glass door to the veranda so it felt like you had an outside bathroom. The room was equipped with everything you could need. This was roomy and spacious with a large comfy bed, sofa, fireplace, bath, shower and large veranda.

We were warmly greeted by Mary on our arrival and after a full briefing taken to our lodge, number 10. The lodge is in a fantastic location over looking the park and is easy to find but the last part of the drive is very steep. We stayed in October for two nights but really could have done with an extra night in order to make best use of all the facilities.
