a bit far from Addo part, so it will take an additional 40 min one way for a game drive, quite pricey.

breathtaking views from the balcony, good dinners and breakfast, quiet place

Such a beautiful experience at Botlierskop! Stayed in one of their amazing suits overlooking whatever deer or antelope wanted to stroll past. We ordered room service both nights because the room was so wonderful we just didn’t want to leave! We did 2 game drives with the amazing Ranger Innocent. The drive feels pretty wild for a smaller reserve and it is just as enjoyable being in the car as it climbs up and down the hills and through little forests as it is in that moment you first spot an elephant or lion. Innocent is very knowledgeable and we had so much fun with him that we would absolutely go again just for the experience!

The location is amazing, but 30 minutes away from ADDO. So it's not actually at the border or in the park (we feel we were mislead on that point). 30 minutes is quite long... Also the the safari trips they offer into the park are quite expensive.

Staff is super friendly. We had a beautiful room with an amazing view. Same goes for the restaurant and the pool. Place is amazing. Giraffe walk & Elephant walk excursions were great (really recommend it).

Everything was great - the view, the surroundings and nature, the tent/hotel room, the staff, the food, the safari. But I feel like I need to warn any fellow acrophobics before booking because there were cobwebs and big spiders EVERYWHERE. It's not their fault, this is deep in nature so could be expected, but I personally think they should try to clean up and remove the most visible cobwebs and try to spider-sanitize around the main building and the tents to make it more pleasant for everyone because it was literally in your face anywhere you looked and it was very difficult for me to fully enjoy the experience.

Our game drive host was excellent but the weather was not. The day was rainy and I feel the touring truck was not well equipped to handle the weather. Waterproof ponchos and a clean wind flap would have helped. Besides getting very wet, it was fabulous!

Extraordinarily friendly and helpful staff, starting with the warm greeting by the general manager on our arrival, and frequent (but unobtrusive) follow up by the Day Manager. Beautiful room, terrific food & wine. As clear a view of the night sky as I’ve ever seen.

Staff could not do enough to help. Great rooms, facilities, views, and food.

This is just a very special place! We really enjoyed our stay in every aspect. The lodge, the staff and the location are fantastic. The overall package is not cheap but be assured: you really get a lot for your money°

Only a minor criticism didn’t feel like there was an option of having any sort of snacks or nibbles

The surrounding beauty and calmness.

The food could be worked on a little, especially the vegetarian dishes. It felt a little like mass catering at dinner. Breakfast however is great!

One of the most impressive places I have ever stayed at. The view is incredible, the rooms are all outstanding and the staff go above and beyond! The game drive was a highlight of our stay, the knowledge and delivery from Sia our driver was incredible!!

Dinner and breakfast were excellent. Stunning views! It would be a superb place for a honeymoon.

The view of the dinner was amazing, the menu could be optimized.

The view from the mountains is amazing. There is a nice pool and relaxing area. We had a dinner also with this view. The rooms are pretty, all made us to feel good!! We had a small Kia Picanto rental car, very small one. Luckily it was not rainy season, so it was no problem to go up with this car, we had to drive slow and carefully and all was fine!!! The hotel is not far from Addo National Park, so before heading there we made a 2 hour driving from the northern entrance of the park and we saw many elephants and other animals.

One of the most beautiful places I’ve stayed in. The views are breathtaking. The rooms are stunning and equipped with everything you need. They’re an eco resort on top of a mountain so it’s impressive how comfortable you feel. We were very well looked after, the staff were lovely, super helpful and nice to chat to. Thank you Simba and team. The activities we did and booked through them were all great, we saw many more animals than we imagined we would. Would love to come back!

This place is magical! We loved everything, the beautiful tents with an amazing view, the incredibly tasty food and especially the staff who made our stay perfect! We also loved the Addo National Tour with our funny and very informed ranger.

By far the best accommodation we’ve ever had! The stunning view, best bed ever and the lovely staff! I would highly recommend this. Also super easy to book game drives!

Obviously the location is unparalleled and the lodge and rooms are lovely but compared to other places we stayed during our visit, this was by a long way the most expensive and yet not the most memorable.

Fantastic peaceful location up high on the hillside. Lovely traditional decor. Very comfortable.

Rooms not fully equipped (see above).

Camp Fig Tree is a guesthouse 12 km (via a gravel road) from Addo Elephant National Park. It is beautifully located in lush greenery on the Zuurberg mountain and offers stunning views. Suites are very spacious and tastefully decorated, but not fully equipped. As there is only solar-powered electricity, there is no fridge in the room and you cannot make tea/coffee in the room (you can order it, although this might take some time); there is no airco either. As there are no insect screens on the windows, one has to keep these closed. Wifi is not available in the rooms, only in the restaurant, and is slowish. An advantage is that there are no problems with ‘load shedding ‘. The beds are large and comfortable, and have mosquito nets. Breakfast is very good, as is the capuchino. Staff is very friendly and helpful, although they can be slow, as is not unexpected in South-Africa. You cannot park your car next to your apartment, but staff will assist you with your luggage. The area is locked with an automatic gate. You can book a game drive via Camp Fig Tree, which is very well organized (They even provide binoculars). In sum, this is not cheap, but the location is beautiful and the food is great. The absence of airco might be a problem with higher temperatures, though.

The location in the mountains is absolutely beautiful. Thé food was good and they have vegetarian option (same price than the meat lovers which is a bit weird but that was good) Breakfast was also very good and différent :) Thé staff was truly amazing and our tent just a dream. Thank you si much

i didnt like that our stay there was too short. I will definitely stay there longer! 4 full days at least!

the view was amazing, the staff were friendly and nice, and even waited for us even though we checked in late. The food was mind blowing although it did that a while for the mains to arrive, and as a sign that we will return, our bottle of wine is still left with the waitress. AWAIT US CAMP FIGTREE, WE WILL BE BACK

We wasn’t expecting the set menu, although it was delicious.

Property was Just like the photos, such a nice area and even the weather didn’t stop us having a fantastic time. The staff were, if anything too good. We will certainly try to come back as a whole family in a few years. The tours to addo were very good and feel lucky to have seen what we did.
