Wir hatten die absolut schönste Zeit in diesem Hotel! Das Essen war fantastisch – abwechslungsreich, frisch und auf höchstem Niveau. Die Zimmer sind wunderschön eingerichtet, sehr komfortabel und blitzsauber, sodass man sich sofort wohlfühlt. Das absolute Highlight war die Safari: Wir haben tatsächlich alle Big 5 gesehen und dazu viele weitere Tiere. Unser Guide „Snacks“ war einfach der Beste – unglaublich kompetent, herzlich und mit so viel Leidenschaft dabei. Alles in allem war es ein unvergessliches Erlebnis – wir können dieses Hotel und die Safari wirklich nur wärmstens empfehlen und kommen garantiert wieder!

Es wird mit den Big 5 geworben, einen Leoparden gibt es dort aber schon seit Jahren nicht mehr lt Auskunft eines Ranger. Unserer Terrasse war voller Vogeldreck (sicher seit Tagen nicht gereinigt), es gab keine Polster für die Terrassenstühle. Die Game Drives sind auf dem Level eins großen Zoos. Separierte, durchaus sehr große, Gehege, aber um die Elefanten oder Nashörner ohne Schnellstraße im Hintergrund aufzunehmen muss man ein wenig warten. Der Service ist sehr gut! Die Leute super freundlich! Insgesamt sehr Familiengeeignet und eher nicht für einen echten Safariurlauber.

Nice surprise on the way to Garden Rt

We were passing through Albertinia and decided to spend the night at this lodge and it was such an unexpected pleasure. Dinner was tasty, cozy room and a really fun game drive in the morning. It’s a different concept from safari in a big NP, once you understand that you’re in for a great ride.

Belle expérience haut de gamme

Excellent établissement avec un accueil dès la sortie de voiture pour apporter les bagages en chambre dans la seconde. Tout le personnel est aux petits soins et souriant. Pour les safaris la guide Robyn est parfaite dans ses explications et très drôle. Petit bémol : au restaurant les plats sont recherchés mais un peu lourds. Bonne note : on peut rester profiter de la piscine et de toutes les installations après le Check out.

If you're looking for a TRUE safari...

If you want luxury combined with the beauty of Africa, a safari with knowledgeable guides, 5 star food and beautiful, clean and tastefully decorated rooms with breathtaking views, THIS is the place to go. Have I mentioned the awesome staff!?! We saw all the animals on an organic safari surrounded by beautiful nature.

Our stay at the Garden Route Game Lodge was unforgettable, thanks to our exceptional guide, Timothy. He took us to some of the most unique parts of the reserve, allowing us to witness wildlife up close in their natural habitats. Timothy’s passion and knowledge stood out—whether tracking cheetahs, explaining the behavior of smaller animals, or sharing insights about native plants, he made every moment fascinating. The lodge itself was also fantastic.

The facilities and game drives here are incredible. We stayed in the luxury family suite with pool room and it was so picturesque with everything that you need. The game drives are great and the drivers are extremely knowledgeable. The food choices at breakfast and dinner are also great, with a wide variety of options and the evening menus change daily. I honestly could not recommend this stay enough.

Lovely.

Room and main lodge were lovely. Game viewing was slightly disappointing. Reserve is effectively broken into fenced sections with the lions in their own enclosure. Guide appeared a bit rushed at times.

This was a great family vacation. I would recommend it if your little ones are at least 4 years old (or older) and can be occupied without screens on the drives. The drives range from 1.5-3ish hours. We did 2 nights, which meant 4 drives -- and that was the perfect amount of time for us. Easy drive over from Cape Town. Sune, our driver, was great! Our young kiddo was the only kid in our group, and she did a great job of interacting with him and teaching him (and us!) lots of facts about the animals

Non-South Africans should realize that facilities like this are a far cry from a “proper” game lodge experience. The developers of the facility have done a good job in cobbling together land and stocking it with wildlife, but it really is more of a glorified zoo than a proper game reserve. The facilities are nice and the staff are lovely, so it's certainly worth a visit. But I wouldn't recommend staying more than a day.

The Garden Route Game Lodge offers an excellent, affordable, comfortable and relaxing stay with 2 daily games drives through their expansive game reserve where you get an up close and personal viewing of the various game animals. Your knowledgeable driver will tailor your drives to your preferences where possible. The entire staff are friendly and go above the usual standard of service to ensure you have a great stay. Tip - book Spa services early if you want to partake. Food & beverage is excellent. I recommend a minimum 2 nights, but preferably 3 nights to fully enjoy the facilities and 6 drives and appreciate the amazing animals more than once.
