Rustig met pragtige natuurskoon. Groot verskeidenheid voëls.

Die huisie was skoon en netjies. Genoeg handdoeke.

Magnificent stay!

We spent the night at the Addo Elephant Park. Our unit was spotless, well organised and comfortable. It had everything we needed. At our arrival we were greeted with friendly staff that explained everything to us. The park lived up to its name and we were in awe by the number of elephants in the park. It truly was a magical stay. We had breakfast at the main camp the next morning and it was excellent. We had a fantastic time and enjoyed our stay. We will definitely be back!

Kos vir die siel.

Die kampeenhede was privaat geïsoleer met 'n klein uitsig na 'n klein berg. Die bosse is baie dig so mens kan nie veel sien nie. Maar die naggeluide maak beslis op daarvoor. Die rit deur die park met die pragtige natuurskoon en diere is kos vir die siel.

Food for the soul.

The camping units were privately isolated with a small view to a small mountain. The woods are very dense so one cannot see much. But the night sounds definitely make up for it. The drive through the park with its beautiful scenery and animals is food for the soul.

Heerlike wegbreekplekkie.

Ek sal dit aanbeveel vir maksimum 2 nagte - daar is geen selfoonsein in die park nie. Maak seker jy het alles wat jy benodig het - die Spar in Colchester se voorraad is erg beperk en daar is geen ander winkel nie tensy jy PE toe wil ry.

Great getaway spot.

I would recommend for a maximum of 2 nights - there is no cell phone signal in the park. Make sure you have everything you need - the Spar in Colchester has very limited stock and there is no other store unless you want to drive to PE.

Very peaceful and pleasant.

Very nice but just think that for a family it might be better to stay at the main camp.

Baie aangename verblyf met baie vriendelike diens.

Die behuising is baie gerieflik en uitsig pragtig. Ontvangs was baie effektief en ons is met vriendelikheid verwelkom. Die persone by ontvangs het goeie kennis van die park en omgewing en deel graag die kennis. Net een negatief van my kan af, die lugreëling was nie effektief nie en het baie stof in die huis ingeblaas toe ek dit die eerste keer aanskakel.

Very pleasant stay with very friendly service.

The housing is very comfortable and the view beautiful. Reception was very effective and we were welcomed with kindness. The people at reception have good knowledge of the park and surroundings and are happy to share the knowledge. Only one negative from me, the air conditioning was not effective and blew a lot of dust into the house when I first turned it on.

Ideally located for travel in own vehicle, but organised safaris are from the main camp at the other end of the park. Wonderful.

A beautiful, quiet lodge with a deck for listening to the sounds of the park. Would have preferred to have WiFi to get information about the wildlife we saw. Unfortunately the welcome at the office was not very warm, but the gate guards always had cheerful smiles. Spar shop 10 minutes away. All other park facilities at the main camp. Highly recommended for independent travelers like us who want to get up early to observe the wildlife on their own.

Ons moet ons Nasionale Parke ondersteun, maar.........

Die hut ( Nr.5 ) waar ons gebly het, was skoon, netjies en gebruikersvriendelik, maar oud. Die TV het nie gewerk nie, desondanks ons dit gerapporteer het. Ons wou veral die natuurprogramme kyk, waarna die Inligtingsgids verwys. Die park as geheel, was 'n heerlike ervaring, baie dankie vir die Parkbestuur.

We need to support our National Parks, but.........

The hut (Nr.5) where we stayed was clean, tidy and user-friendly, but old. The TV didn't work, despite us reporting it. We especially wanted to watch the nature programmes, to which the Information Guide refers. The park as a whole was a wonderful experience, many thanks to the Park management.

Stilte was ongelooflik!

Met aankoms was die vrou wat ons voor by ontvangs gehelp het nie baie vriendelik nie en alles was maar tydsaam! Daar is niks fout met die verblyf nie, ons het baie lekker hier gebly!

Silence was incredible!

On arrival, the woman who helped us at reception was not very friendly and everything was only temporary! There is nothing wrong with the accommodation, we had a great time here!

Poor description of accommodation, family cottage with 1 room is not family accommodation.

We were not told that there would only be 1 bed for 3 adults even though I specifically booked for 3. The description “Family” is completely misleading. No indication it would not be accessible for older citizens. No pan to cook in or an oven provided.

Good accommodation choice. Quiet in nature

Good accommodation choice. However, there is no mobile phone signal at accommodation, but each section is provided with emergency numbers, what if there is an emergency???
