Beautiful rooms and a very private, exclusive lodge. It felt like something from Hemmingway, with fireplaces for cooler evenings, but white tablecloths and excellent food/wines. The game drives were excellent and our guide was very knowledgeable. We saw a family of cheetahs chase and kill a deer, which was a highlight of the trip. One day it rained and the elephants (15 or so) came out to play and bathe in the pond below the lodge. Fantastic!

The last 3,5km from the entrance gate to the lodge are pretty adventurous, but once you are there, you will enjoy stunning views of the dam and green hills. We enjoyed the tranquility - a perfect place, if you just want to relax. You can order food, which they bring to your place. But we decided for self catering, as the kitchen is fully equipped (from stove to microwave and fridge). WiFi was good and we loved the terrace for the views! Driving to the gate in the mornings we saw some antilopes, many warthogs and a herd of buffalos.

Everything. From the moment we arrived every member of staff was friendly and accomodating. Our chalet was superb overlooking the watering hole. The pool overlooking the watering hole had a constant stream of wildlife passing all day. The spa experience was great. The menu has good variety and changed daily. The food is well prepared and portion sizes are large. Nothing is a problem for the staff Our game drives were amazing. Our jeep has 6 passengers and our ranger made sure to make us all feel like it was a personal tour. The selection of wildlife here is incredible. Every corner had something new of a different size and species. The number of each animal was huge. These are literally wild free roaming animals maintaining a life as they would in the wild. Numbers are not over curated. The night drive brings out a whole new selection of game viewings. The game drive drinks break were fantastic. We'd pull in and out ranger would have a nice selection of drinks and homemade trears to snack on but mostly had a really good interaction with the guests about the game we had just seen, what we wanted from the rest of the drive/future drives and even exploring each others lives outside of the safari. A real personal touch.

Convenient location – easy walk to downtown and the university, but in a quiet and beautiful area away from heavy traffic and city noise. All the staff were friendly, gracious, and efficient and went above and beyond to help. The room was cleaned exceedingly well every day and all necessary provisions (plus a few extras) were refreshed daily. The apples were delicious. There were surprisingly many pillows. Even my fairly small room had cooking facilities and a refrigerator, all of which helped me a lot.

“I visited a town in South Africa called Grahamstown, also known as Makhanda. It is a beautiful place. At first, it looks small, but it has very good schools and University there . It is also easy to get around, and the security there is very good. People can walk freely and enjoy the town.”

A truly remarkable African safari experience.

A truly remarkable African safari experience. The staff were just incredible, warm and welcoming. So many special touches and extra effort into making a birthday celebration the best and most memorable experience possible. Delicious food, great South African wine and the best of the bush. Great game viewing! Highly recommend to anyone looking for something extraordinary!

The historical aspects were fascinating, especially the old Churches and cathedrals. These are largely untouched from the general significant decline in basic services. We were only there for a sporting event. Not sure it is a place we would consider a holiday destination.

The staff, guides, game drives, units and meals were all superior. Just make sure your unit is secured when you go away, as we left a window open and the poor staff had their hands full cleaning up as the monkeys managed to get in and had a huge party with my grand-daughter's glitter paint!

Grahamstown has amazing old buildings and history.

Grahamstown has amazing old buildings and history. BUT the roads are a disaster !! Giant potholes everywhere and some of the roads you have to actually look for the tar that is left. The municipality should be ashamed. African road between 3 biggest private schools is abysmal
