Start your day with a wholesome, revitalising breakfast in our thatched roof lapa, overlooking the garden and swimming pool area. Adventure, fun and games await children, with Pumba (Labrador), Timone (Jack Russel), Nala ( boxer) Zasu ( jack russel) & Zira ( jack Russel) who love to make new friends and play… a farm-style wonderland for all children.

The cheetah project offers a “once-in-a-lifetime’ experience where visitors do not only get an interesting, personalized tour, but actually get to interact with the animals.

Addo Elephant Back Safaris is situated within the recently proclaimed Greater Addo Elephant National Park. Appreciate nature from an elephant’s perspective. Walking beside these gentle giants will allow you to observe the elephant’s habits in their natural surroundings. This safari experience is about learning and becoming familiar with one of Africa’s most stately, intelligent mammals – the African Elephant. Walk with the Elephants through the bush, ravines and forest. The walk is not tenuous and at an enjoyable pace. Then enjoy the thrill of riding these gentle giants to their favourite waterhole to watch them swim and make the most of the mud. Here you will be able to relax and enjoy watching the elephants at the waterhole. You will take back memories that will stay with you forever.
Daily tours: 08h00 am, 11h00 am and 15h30 pm These tours include the walk, the ride on the elephant as well as feeding these giants. Duration: Approximately 3 hours.

Daniell Cheetah Breeding Project
Daniell Cheetah breeding project was established in May 2001 and started with just three cats. It has since grown with breeding, purchase and swapping of animals. The aim of this project is to play part in the conservation of Cheetah’s, the re-establishment of pure gene lines, as well as educating people to the importance of conserving this amazing specie. The cheetah project offers a “once-in-a-lifetime’ experience where visitors do not only get an interesting, personalized tour, but actually get to interact with the animals.
Visitors are encouraged to touch the cheetahs and have photographs with some of them. We believe this opens people’s eyes to the importance of the Cheetah’s conservation. Situated on the R75 national road, about 45 min drive from Addo.
