Our stay was amazing. After a day of wildlife viewing in the Addo Elefant park it was a treat to arrive at Chicane. Greg, the host was exceptionally welcoming. We had a bit of a chat with him, refreshed a bit in our room and then could use the braai/BBQ facilities. It is a wonderful entertainment space with all the bells and whistles. The room was clean and parking secured. The location is great in Sunland near the national park, although some roadworks are a bit of a nuisance at the moment. (April 2025)

Lupus Den is a little sanctuary close to Addo Elephant Park! We had a super nice game drive where we saw so many animals. Arrived at Lupus Den, Priscilla welcomed us warmly and we enjoyed a delicious home cooked 3 course dinner. We stayed at the “Kingfisher” suite, 100% recommended!! Also the pool is super big and surrounded by big trees. In the morning we had a delicious breakfast with everything we could wish for including home made jams and fruit from the garden. The strawberries and figs are just out of this world!

I would recommend to everyone who wants to reset and chill within the nature. You can admire amazing surrounding, have a bonfire, use a terrace for meals. The house has everything that you need while travelling. It has an alarm system and a powerful gate so you can feel totally safe. The interior is cosy. Thanks for having us!

Klein Plekkie is an incredibly beautiful and cozy place to come down. You can be completely at one with nature here in a beautiful secluded spot. It was wonderful to paddle out in a canoe and watch the birdlife. We also loved the beautiful location in the lemon grove. Nicky was an extremely welcoming and lovely hostess. The Addo National Park is easily accessible from here. 10/10

Homestead is absolutely stunning. Ronnie and Hidelene and Ronnie Jnr were most welcoming and most attentive hosts. Homestead is a delight! ... Hidelene's family home, the house is a historic gem.and her mature lush gardens are quite gorgeous, filled with water features and beautiful flowering trees ,- and two swimming pools! . Together they have made a little guest house paradise with creativity and flare.. and devised with remarkable ingenuity a remarkable number, variety and choice of accomodation to meet all tastes and budgets.. The staff are discreet and excellent and the rooms spotlessly clean and comfortable. We took an afternoon and night safari with Ronnie Junior..a great experience for my Italian friends with an excellent dinner by the fire in the middle of the reserve. Our 11 year old could hardly contain himself, despite a cool and rainy day, at his first ever sight of Hippo, crocodile, Elephant, lion, antelope and buck, warthog and giraffe.. Ronnie was informative and caring... Thank you Ronnie. And Thank you to you all for a delightful stay.

Very friendly and helpful staff, clean and spacious apartment, comfortable beds (which have heating!! Important during cold season). Great game drive with very knowledgeable guide Lize - highly recommend! We also requested a little birthday surprise for my friend so they arranged cake, sparkling wine and some flowers that were waiting in the room on our arrival. Very well organized!

A wonderful experience, the accommodation is beautiful with a stunning view. At night and in the morning you can hear many animals. The staff is very friendly. We recommend booking the Elephant Encounters/Walk. The drive to the lodge is a bit rough but you have to put up with that if you want to stay in such a beautiful remote place.

Brian and Jenny were terrific hosts and were very helpful. Rusty and Pedro their dogs are great company. Had some nice chats in the evening sat around the fire. Plans are in place to make the park on which they are based a big five one. Our safari tent was comfortable enough for us.

Barefoot is a reasonable size reserve accessed off a 25km dirt road that can be a little bumpy in places. A 4x4 is recommended particularly if it rains. We opted for a private transfer to and from the airport and Caleb our driver was just a master at navigating the rough roads - well worth the £180 for the transfer (he also took us on a game drive on a neighbouring reserve close to Addo, organised by Barefoot and he was just incredible, so knowledgable and able to track down the elusive rhino - we would seriously recommend). The Barefoot reserve doesn’t have the big 5 and the 3 Barefoot elephants are cared for by dedicated keepers who spend all their days walking with them as they roam around the reserve. At night the elephants are housed in a very large protected paddock to ensure their safety. You will see giraffe, wilderbeast, zebra as a minimum - they come in herds to graze around the villa of an evening which is an incredible sight. The views from the villa are breathtaking as it sits on its own on a hilltop. There’s good WiFi, no TV (which for us was a good thing), beds were so comfy and the staff - Olivia and Soso just made our stay perfect 🥰

We liked the venue. The environment is beautiful. The road was a challenge, but we knew that we had to come with a 4x4 vehicle and the men knew how to drive on a 4x4 route. It was raining when we arrived and it was cold, but everybody should know not to travel without a jacket.

We have been to Addo probably 40 times and just never get enough of it, and once again on rare occassions, saw a lioness up close. As always there were plenty of Buffalo, Elephant, Zebra, Red Hardebeest, Warthog, Kudu, and oh! a Hyena!

Addo was lovely, and the map was easy to navigate.

Addo was lovely, and the map was easy to navigate. I could easily do two days in the Addo and it's full of surprises. Make sure to go to the bathroom at the beginning, because toiletbreaks are far inbetween. Make sure your devices are fully charged and you have backup, because you'll be taking a lot of pics. Currently the roadworks to Addo makes it a longer drive, but all goo.
