We stayed at Lodge for 3 nights at the end of November, chosing the "All Inclusive" package. It was the best adventure and the best place we stayed during our trip through South Africa. Leo, our tour guide, has showed, explained and I jetted into us the wholesome approach to safari. You could feel like a carefree child that went on adventure to discover. We wish every tour guide could show to its guests such an excepcional respect towards the animals. Leo transforms such kindness, that at the end of the day you feel extremely rewarded by seeing every little living on safari, inuding birds, elephants, monkeys - all living wild and free. In the breaks, we could learn so much by having just a casual conversation with him. We really felt like being invited to magnificent kingdom of the animals, without feeling like some random intruders. A beating heart of this place is Debbie: what an outstanding manger. You "don't see her, don't hear her", but she is there and she keeps and eye on everything, ensuring such a comfortable stay for the guests. Debbie just transmits calmness, kindness, warmth, and professionalism. It was a real pleasure know her. The amazing Crew of the Lodge gives you a total family vibe. They winked an eye at us every time they left us a nice surprise in the form of flower petals or chocolates. Everything from warm towels to wipe our hands, through tasty meals (delicious soups!), was full of kindness and joy of hosting us. From warm welcome to a family-like farewell (followed by messages to check our further progress on the road) - everything was such a beautiful sign of being human that I came back completely refreshed. Enjoy every second of staying at the Lodge. Go out on adventure. Admire the nature with the respect and curiosity of an explorer. Feel fresh air on your face. Eat boldly and healthily. Relax in silence. Enjoy the polite, interesting conversations with wonderful people.

We were made to feel so welcome and Everyone, Owners and Staff went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. The breakfast was outstanding, fresh and so thoughtfully presented. The gardens are beautiful, the swimming pool was clean and thoroughly enjoyed by us all. The close proximity to shops for supplies enabled us to self cater for evening meals with no fuss. Addo Elephant Park is nearby and was an absolute joy to behold. The Homestead has been there for many years and has old world charm Thank you very much, we will be back.

When I looked where to stay at Addo I wanted a place that maximized the wildlife without me having to drive anywhere and Gorah did exactly that. We sat at the hotel all day and we experienced the most amazing wildlife at the waterhole. And at the same time Gorah staff exemplary in their service and kindness. The food superb right down to my wife’s diabetic requirements at all times and we were made to feel that nothing was too much.

We enjoyed our stay here. The whole hotel crew is lovely and attentive. Unfortunately we had cold water in the shower but the manager personally took care of it and within 30 minutes the problem was solved. We were also offered another room as an alternative. The manager is very concerned about his guests. Very nice to see something like this and to feel valued as customer!

We received a super warm welcome from the Camp Figtree team who were helpful every step of the way. The attention to detail was incredible - from our room, to helping us plan our day and beyond. We couldn’t have had a better stay and the photos don’t do the location and hotel justice. What. a. place. We’ll be back soon!!

Beautifully decorated room, and very spacious bathroom. The whole domain is well maintained and beautifully planted. Nice natural swimming pool, bigger than it looked in the pictures. On top of that they have a great restaurant, which serves excellent breakfast and dinner

Wow, wow, wow, this stay was everything we expected and even more. The rooms are great, the food is delicious and the service is the best. Would definitely recommend it and if you can, have at least one dinner here. You won’t regret it.

Really sweet bungalow with great toilette and shower outside next to the bungalow. You have evertthing you need in and outside the bungalow, view is great and just sitting on a porch (or on the toilette :))) is beautiful!

The hotel was very nice, we had a huge room with a private pool. It was stunning! The staff were amazing and went above and beyond to make sure we had a pleasant stay. Would definitely come back.

Friendly staff, beautiful place, clean and tidy, spacious. Love the Big shower. Bedding comfortable. We would have loved staying here for longer.

Jenny and Brian were great hosts. Brian knowledge of viewing the the game in Addo Elephant Park was invaluable. Also enjoyed the dogs.

Everything! Fantastic staff and food, great private reserve with really knowledgable guide, and very good conservation ideals.

It was an incredible stay, the staff were very welcoming I 100% recommend an unforgettable experience.
