Please note: Our review of this property has not yet been added. Watch this space. We're working on it.

As a tailor-made tour operator, we often have to get creative when designing your perfect itinerary.

For example, your travel consultant might add this property to your itinerary if:

Location is a significant factor
It offers a unique feature that will enhance your experience
This is a last-minute booking and room availability is limited
Cost is a factor and you'd rather splash out on another part of your trip
This is a newly opened or refurbished property that we have not inspected yet

When designing your custom itinerary we have much to consider not least of which is the value proposition of every product and service included in your quote. In all cases we strive to give you the best experience possible within your budget so please feel free to ask your travel consultant to share their reasons for including this property in your itinerary.

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.
