Unforgettable safari tour – highly recommended! - The two-day safari tour in South Africa was a real travel highlight – perfectly organized from start to finish and an unforgettable experience! The lodge was simply fantastic – beautifully located, beautifully decorated and the facility is equipped with all comforts. The sunrise and sunset safaris were magical. Nature, light, wildlife. Together we tracked down the “Big Five” and saw so much more! The friendliness and competence of the entire team is particularly noteworthy. The guides answered each of our questions with a lot of charm and expertise and guided us through the terrain in an informative way. In the evening we could relax around the campfire and were spoiled with a delicious dinner. A special thanks goes to our personal driver and guide Mawande. With his exciting stories, interesting stops and deep knowledge of country and people, he made the journey not only enjoyable but also educational - so the journey passed as if in flight. Absolute recommendation for all who want to experience South Africa at its best!

Great whistle stop tour if short on time! - We had a super two day trip from Capetown to Garden Route Game Lodge which gave us a good idea of life away from the city. Our guide, Chris, was absolutely excellent. He was so knowledgable about all aspects of South African history, culture and traditions and kept us engaged the whole time. We certainly covered plenty of ground and visited Cape Agulas, Hermanus Bay, the Penguins in Betty’s Bay amongst other stops. As well as being an expert guide, Chris is an excellent driver and we felt completely safe in his capable care. He also has a lovely manner and was constantly good humoured and made the whole trip fun. The safari is in a private game park which means that there are a limited number of animals there and it’s not quite the same as a full safari experience in one of the huge national parks. However, we had two very interesting game drives with Jacu (?) who shared fascinating insights on the animals and was able to answer our questions. We saw lions, elephants, cheetahs, different antelope etc. and rhinos. The accommodation was comfortable (we had a lodge) and the food was lovely I highly recommend this trip.

Chris, a guide was amazing and the trip was wonderful. He took it to another level and it will be beyond my expectations - Chris was our guide and he created an experience of a lifetime for us. He was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot about Cape Town and the general area. We learned a lot from him and he went out of his way to do things for us. The lodge was beautiful and the whole trip was amazing Mostly because Chris was such a good guide and was very friendly and easy to be around. I recommend a trip to everyone who is thinking of visiting a private national reserve. Cannot wait to come back and do other trips

Amazing Safari Trip - We did the 2 days Garden Route Safari Trip and it was amazing. Mawande is a super knowledgeable and friendly guide who gave us a lot of insights on our way from Cape Town to the Garden Route. Also the Garde Route Lodge was such a beautiful accommodation and we saw many animals on our game drives - can truly recommend!

Great tour! - We were a group of friends with teenagers of who had Mawande as our tour guide on our 2 day safari and Garden Route over the Easter holidays. The trip would not have been the same without Mawande - knowledgeable, flexible and patient with both adults and children. His information and communication skills were fantastic. We learned so much and came home with more insight into South African society, nature, animals and people. Highly recommended tour and guide!

Great experience - Our guide Benjamin was great. Very knowledgeable very friendly and very approachable as well as being a great driver. The tool was well organised, we saw some great views of the coast line, towns and the Safari was good. We saw lions, wildebeeste, elephants, impalas, a cheetah, hippos & rhinos. Would throughly recommend the tour for a short trip out of Cape town to see more of the area and the wildlife .

Nice tour, - Trip was super fun. Mawande was a super guide :) food was nice, I was alone but everybody was friendly. Safari could be bigger and better. Is a private reserve so. Beside that the tour was cool

“Safari(ish)” - The road trip to and from the destination is many hours, even with frequent stops, the trip was too long. Since I have been on a real safari, I did not find this trip that rewarding, but for a novice, it might be interesting The driver, Chris, was knowledgeable, affable, considerate and a very good driver as was our guide, Andre. The accommodations and the staff at the lodge were quite good.
