Charihandra Game Lodge 4 stars

Addo

Located in Addo, Charihandra Game Lodge features free WiFi throughout, air conditioning and private parking is available on-site. Guests can enjoy swimming at the outdoor pool.

Port Elizabeth is 35 km from Charihandra Game Lodge, whereas Addo is 19.4 km away. Breathtaking, well-kept property with superb views from the Chalet. We had dinner and breakfast on the property which were also great. Even though we only spent one night there, we got a close sighting of the giraffes 🦒. We only wish we booked an extra night or two as one night is definitely not enough to fully enjoy all that this fantastic place has to offer. The staff were all lovey, friendly and really helpful. We would definitely go back!!

Mount Camdeboo Private Game Reserve by NEWMARK 4 stars

Graaff-Reinet

Located in Graaff-Reinet, Mount Camdeboo Private Game Reserve by NEWMARK provides free WiFi, and guests can enjoy a garden, a shared lounge and a terrace.

The restaurant at the lodge serves African, American and South African cuisine. We stayed in Pod 1. We highly recommend the Pods for a truly unique experience. the lodge is beautiful but spending the night on the mountain is unmatchable. It’s a 40 minute drive from the Lodge to the Pods but it’s spectacular.

Camp Figtree by The Oyster Collection 4 stars

Addo

Offering panoramic views of the Zuurberg Mountain Range, Camp Figtree by The Oyster Collection features a variety of game drives, safaris and game walks. There is also an infinity pool and a restaurant.

The lodge offers game drives through Addo National Park, game walks on the property and guided sundowner walks. The view from the mountains is amazing. There is a nice pool and relaxing area. We had a dinner also with this view. The rooms are pretty, all made us to feel good!! We had a small Kia Picanto rental car, very small one. Luckily it was not rainy season, so it was no problem to go up with this car, we had to drive slow and carefully and all was fine!!! The hotel is not far from Addo National Park, so before heading there we made a 2 hour driving from the northern entrance of the park and we saw many elephants and other animals.
