Situated a two-hour drive from Gqeberha (formerly Port Elizabeth), where the Zuurberg Mountains give way to the open Karoo plains, you’ll find the only lodge on an exclusive 35,000-acre private game reserve in the Greater Addo Conservation Area. The strategic hilltop position affords panoramic views of the vast expanse of bushveld stretched out before you – be it from the sunset deck, the lounge, or your chalet.
A pool, gym, lounge, bar, and serene spa ensure that guests can enjoy the most comfortable of stays – little explorers meanwhile are catered for with special indoor and outdoor activities. Whether it’s breakfast, Karoo high tea, or a four-course gourmet dinner, you can expect the freshest Karoo cuisine – with Private Dining experiences including romantic breakfasts on the sunrise deck or in the bush, as well as private dinners under the stars. Post-game drive, the bush boma is the perfect spot for guests to gather and chat about their wildlife experiences and Big Five sightings.
With the Zuurberg Mountain as a backdrop, the 24 thatched Karoo-style chalets include family-friendly and accessible options, and are all spaciously positioned to offer both views and privacy. Each chalet comprises an open-plan bedroom and living area, a lounge area leading to a private deck, and a separate bathroom with a bath and breathtaking views.
Explore the diverse wildlife of the Big Five reserve on daily morning and afternoon game drives, or go on guided or self-guided nature walks through the Hopewell section of the reserve. The lodge also offers two-hour excursions to view ancient San rock art, hidden away in Kuzuko’s sandstone caves, as well as night drives, which depart after dinner. Another night-time highlight are Kuzuko’s ‘cosmic safaris’ with a sky ranger – taking place from the comfort of the lodge deck with the help of an eight-inch telescope.
