"Whlle the staff did help and went oout of their way to help us celebrate a special occasion, we were disappointed that it could have been a more of an "African" experience - especially with the dining. We were anticipating that there would have been a lot more of the South African taste in the menus. Unfortunately, the schedule at the camp was so tight, there was not enough down time to actually enjoy the camp itself. It was also disappointing to be presented with a blll with unknown/ hidden costs for park fees, etc. I understand that the camp does not have control of these, but it would have been nice to have known about them up front. Overall, it was enjoyable, but I think our money could have been better spent on an alternative vacation."

"We drove through a residential area to get to the property. It was not a nice area. There were abandoned houses, broken lampposts, high security round properties. It did not feel a safe area. No shops or restaurants. We would not have been able to walk there. We felt very uncomfortable and decided that we did not want to stay there. We have requested a refund but have been refused by hotels. Com as they say they can’t get hold of the property. I find that completely unacceptable. "

"This guest house is really lovely. They have wonderful, caring staff who cook a fresh, made to order breakfast each morning. I would definitely stay here again! "

"Excellent stay in Safari Lodge. Staff were super helpful and friendly. The game drives with Bon Bon were incredible as we saw so many animals and learnt about their behaviours. Each lodge was individually located so you had a strong sense of privacy. We even watched warthogs coming to drink at the water hole from our lodge. The food was very good. My one suggestion for improvement is either to have an indoor toilet near the dining areas or to spray the outdoor toilet with mosquito repellent each morning as the standing water meant it was full of mosquitos in the morning."

"Amazing stay. 15 mins from Addo reserve so super convenient location. A tranquil oasis"

"The room was fantastic, the staff were brilliant ( obviousley most were in training), the food was good , if the food was just a tiny bit better ( this is not a critisism)would be an increadible place "

"We had a wonderful stay at Hitgeheim Country Lodge. The road in is a little rough, but as it is an eco reserve, that is to be expected and part of the experience. The reward is the wildlife along the way, and we were lucky enough to encounter some zebras. We chose a room with a private pool, which was absolutely beautiful and made our stay feel extra special. We loved the port provided and enjoyed a delicious Taste of South Africa dinner in the restaurant. A lovely final touch was having our car washed on departure."

"Super friendly and helpful management and really accommodation. The breakfast was excellent. Fresh fruit, yoghurt and bread/muffins etc with everything you could think of to go with. Cooked breakfast freshly made to order. Friendly staff. We really enjoyed our stay "
