Great experience

Great facility. Looks exactly like the photos. Staff very friendly and knowledgeable. The 2 safaris that we went on were exceptionally good. The jeep driver/guide was knowledgeable & explained everything that he was asked & more. Couldn’t fault him. Would definitely recommend

Wonderful experience here. We saw 10 different wild animals species. Great service, great staff. Luan, our game guide was terrific !!
John, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The facilities and game drives here are incredible. We stayed in the luxury family suite with pool room and it was so picturesque with everything that you need. The game drives are great and the drivers are extremely knowledgeable. The food choices at breakfast and dinner are also great, with a wide variety of options and the evening menus change daily. I honestly could not recommend this stay enough.

If you're looking for a TRUE safari...

If you want luxury combined with the beauty of Africa, a safari with knowledgeable guides, 5 star food and beautiful, clean and tastefully decorated rooms with breathtaking views, THIS is the place to go. Have I mentioned the awesome staff!?! We saw all the animals on an organic safari surrounded by beautiful nature.
Marzanne, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was a great family vacation. I would recommend it if your little ones are at least 4 years old (or older) and can be occupied without screens on the drives. The drives range from 1.5-3ish hours. We did 2 nights, which meant 4 drives -- and that was the perfect amount of time for us. Easy drive over from Cape Town. Sune, our driver, was great! Our young kiddo was the only kid in our group, and she did a great job of interacting with him and teaching him (and us!) lots of facts about the animals
Erin, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely.

Room and main lodge were lovely. Game viewing was slightly disappointing. Reserve is effectively broken into fenced sections with the lions in their own enclosure. Guide appeared a bit rushed at times.
Tyrone, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Non-South Africans should realize that facilities like this are a far cry from a “proper” game lodge experience. The developers of the facility have done a good job in cobbling together land and stocking it with wildlife, but it really is more of a glorified zoo than a proper game reserve. The facilities are nice and the staff are lovely, so it's certainly worth a visit. But I wouldn't recommend staying more than a day.
Edward, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We rented two of chalets for two nights, and was assigned one small (meant for up to 2 adults) and one slightly bigger chalet (for 2 adults and 1 child). Strongly recommended if you are travelling light (minimal space for full size luggage for tjr small chalet) as you will need to navigate short flights of stairs. The package also comes with two daily safari runs and dinner included. Food and services was great. Cape and warm water bags were also provided for the (cold) Sunrise Game Runs. Strongly recommended!
Yee Hur William, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The Garden Route Game Lodge offers an excellent, affordable, comfortable and relaxing stay with 2 daily games drives through their expansive game reserve where you get an up close and personal viewing of the various game animals. Your knowledgeable driver will tailor your drives to your preferences where possible. The entire staff are friendly and go above the usual standard of service to ensure you have a great stay. Tip - book Spa services early if you want to partake. Food & beverage is excellent. I recommend a minimum 2 nights, but preferably 3 nights to fully enjoy the facilities and 6 drives and appreciate the amazing animals more than once.

Belle expérience haut de gamme

Excellent établissement avec un accueil dès la sortie de voiture pour apporter les bagages en chambre dans la seconde. Tout le personnel est aux petits soins et souriant. Pour les safaris la guide Robyn est parfaite dans ses explications et très drôle. Petit bémol : au restaurant les plats sont recherchés mais un peu lourds. Bonne note : on peut rester profiter de la piscine et de toutes les installations après le Check out.

Excellent Safari lodge. Guide was exceptional.
Brian, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our stay at the Garden Route Game Lodge was unforgettable, thanks to our exceptional guide, Timothy. He took us to some of the most unique parts of the reserve, allowing us to witness wildlife up close in their natural habitats. Timothy’s passion and knowledge stood out—whether tracking cheetahs, explaining the behavior of smaller animals, or sharing insights about native plants, he made every moment fascinating. The lodge itself was also fantastic.
