The game lodge has a great variety of animals, and you are able to get very close to them as well! The friendly staff treated us great, from the moment we arrived, every one was friendly and hospitable. The rangers were great at explaining all the animals as well. Though the weather wasn't the greatest, it was well worth it,... More

We visited Cape area and wanted to include a visit to safari. Garden Route Game lodge seemed to be the closest real safari to Cape Town and I must say it was not a disappointment! The drive from Cape Town was about 350 km and it was quite a peace of cake as the roads are in good shape and... More

When we first arrived at the Game Lodge we were a bit disappointed. The site is quite close to the N2 and so you don't get the feeling of isolation we'd experienced on a previous game reserve holiday. This isn't a massive reserve - it's 2,500 ha - which means that you don't get the diversity or the quantity of... More

My husband and I, had the most wonderful time of our lives at the Garden Route Game Lodge. For the one night stay, the service, the Game Drive, the evening Buffet meal and the accommodation were all excellent. Our guide, Cornea, was very informative, pleasant and always smiling. Thanks all! More

The total experience is very good, the staff are really friendly and helpful, the food is the closest to real South African cooking you will find anywhere in the country. The game drives are professional and the guides know their subject. This the best you will find in close proximity to Cape Town. More
