Located within Bellevue Forest Reserve – home to wildlife such as lion and buffalo – a short drive from the renowned Addo Elephant National Park, guests will encounter the highly comfortable Elephant Lodge, and the romantic Stargazer Camp.
With 5 Luxury Double Rooms and Family Suites, the thatched Elephants Lodge is a great choice whether you’re on honeymoon or a family vacation. Sliding doors lead from each room onto an expansive patio and lush gardens, offering beautiful forest views. Couples can also book one of the luxury ensuite safari tents, which come with private timber decks and enhanced vistas.
Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and drinks are served at various indoor and outdoor dining areas. Guests can book a Bed & Breakfast package, or the Full Board package, which includes all meals and one outdoor activity per day on the reserve in an open game viewing vehicle.
Spot the resident wildlife from the main sundowner deck overlooking the forest, or set off on a thrilling giraffe walk or a game drive in search of The Big Five. Younger visitors can also take part in special kids’ excursions, such as treasure hunts, and skull identification. Post-safari, gather around the firepit to share your tales with other guests.
For a wildly romantic experience, book a night at the off-grid Stargazer Camp – framed by lush forest and separated by a central fire pit, the 3 open-air suites offer the most phenomenal stargazing experience, and include an al fresco dinner and exclusive butler service.
Stargazer Camp
With 165 bird species, buffalo, leopard, giraffe, eland, kudu, and many other wildlife roaming the area, the reserve offers a wildlife heaven. From Big Five game drives and ‘tooth and claw’ safaris, to helicopter flights and stargazing, guests can choose from a multitude of memorable experiences. Special day trips combing the Addo Elephant National Park with the reserve’s signature giraffe and buffalo encounters make for the most immersive way to experience the region. To round off the experience, you can also book a soothing spa treatment at the nearby Addo Indlovu Spa.
