The best place to be, Brian, Jenny, Andrew and Alison all make you feel so welcome from the moment you arrive. The game walks are breathtaking, and the stories told around the bar in the evenings are great, can’t wait until my next visit. – Daniel H

A fantastic welcome from everyone; great food; a really knowledgeable host who helped us make the most of our short time in Addo; a private game reserve to roam around; and the dark and the quiet of the countryside at night – all wonderful. – W9340CLrobc

Perfect stay to complement our visit to Addo Park. The tents are huge, permanent safari-style with tons of room (our’s couple comfortably sleep 4 on seperate beds). Hot showers.
