Ingrid made our stay absolutely perfect!! We were greeted by zebras and ostrich as soon as we entered the grounds - already quite the experience! Our room had amazing views and was very comfortable and clean. We had dinner on the property our first night which was one of our favorite meals of the trip! We did the Addo park, Schotia Safari and a Giraffe walk all by recommendations from Ingrid and we had the perfect trip.

It features three lodges offering a swimming pool, guest lounge and free WiFi.

The lodges feature African-inspired décor and classic furnishings. The units are equipped tea-and-coffee-making facilities and a bathroom with free toiletries. Each unit has a private viewing deck.

The whole experience exceeded our expectations. The food is superb and the rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. They went through the trouble of making a separate meal for my partner to accommodate his food allergies. They also went to the trouble of setting up a screen and provided us with snacks to watch the rugby. We also got to see 4 of the Big 5 in one evening!

Set between 2 streams in a lush bush land, this 5-star lodge is located within the Lalibela Game Reserve. It offers secluded suites with private heated plunge pools and terraces.

Kichaka Game Lodge is located just over 1-hour drive from Port Elizabeth Airport. The centre of Grahamstown is 35 km away. Airport transfers can be booked at an additional cost.

Lalibela experience was something real and unique! It doesn’t matter how frequently you are traveling - you will be pleasantly surprised by sincere hospitality of the team (starting from the smooth and prompt booking process till the best service on the spot), deep and outstanding knowledge of the rangers (special thanks to Nikita and Ashley - your love to your work and nature helps me to believe in humanity) and, last but not least, the scale of the territory where you will find trilling encounter with wild, beautiful animals and with strong, breathtaking nature (we were happy to spend the days far away from noise, traffic, density of the city - full recharge). The Lounge itself (we booked “Kichaka”) is impressive, here you will find everything that is needed for comfortable stay (beautiful luxury design, super wide terrace, pool, private pool with water heating system, 2 real fireplaces that you can enjoy after an evening safari or when it rains, bar, beautiful local wine, wide menu for all courses of the meal etc.). All of this was already included in the price of booking. To leave this place was a real hart braking moment. Thank you!

Located in Paterson, Pure Nature Familodge offers accommodation with a terrace and kitchen. Free WiFi is offered.

The lodge offers a barbecue. The property is equipped with solar and battery operated lanterns.

The tranquility and silence of the location were deeply appreciated. Olaf and his family were incredibly friendly and always available for any questions. The animals on the premises added a delightful touch, especially for my youngest daughter who adored the cats and dogs. Besides the pets, there was a variety of livestock and even wild animals - spotting giraffes was a highlight! The breakfast was a delight, prepared exclusively with fresh farm products such as cheese and milk, and even the bread was freshly baked. This attention to detail and quality truly enhanced our overall experience. Staying there was a wonderful experience, thoroughly enjoyable. However, guests should be mindful that being in nature comes with its quirks, like spiders and such. No mosquitoes though!

    Very nice and well-kept premises. Comfortable room and beautiful view. Great experience to drive up the road to the lodge (road was perfectly doable with a normal car, road was dry). Very hospitable host and staff.

    From start to finish we adored our stay in Camp Acacia. Edwin was fantastic and watching the game on the drive in and out was like a mini safari! We had the most wonderful, peaceful and enjoyable stay there. It’s a slice of heaven.

    Ingrid gave us a very warm welcome and was already communicating with us via WhatsApp ahead of the trip (esp for accurate directions). The lodge itself is beautiful! There’s only 4 of them which makes it quite special and they all have a balcony towards the mountains with a stunning view! The property is off the beaten track but absolutely worth the drive to get there.

    The highlight was the tranquillity and nature of the accommodation. It is also very beautiful, stylish and cozy. We immediately felt at home. Ingrid is a brilliant hostess and gives good advice. She is very friendly and helpful. Both breakfast and dinner are delicious. Even though the access road to the lodge is a bit long, you can easily reach activities such as Addo and Schotia Safari.
