Garden Route Game Lodge

Grading: Average Guest Rating:


Set against the backdrop of the majestic Langeberg mountain Range, the Garden Route Game Lodge guards the entrance to South Africa`s world famous Garden Route Coast.

Only 3½ scenic hours drive from Cape Town, this malaria free, private game reserve is home to an abundance of animal and bird life including the Big 5.

Visitors to the Garden Route Game Lodge can enjoy gameviewing in open Landrovers, luxury accommodation and a memorable dining experience in our Boma restaurant. Our friendly staff and management are there to take care of your every need to complete your unforgettable stay.

Garden Route Game Lodge adheres to optimal conservation practices to create a balanced eco-system. Guests are not allowed to drive through the park in their own vehicles.

The Garden Route Game Lodge is home to many permanent and migratory bird species which are best viewed on foot and identifiable by the game rangers. Visitors will enjoy the large variety of fynbos and other plant species on the reserve.

Because of the relatively small size of the land and the consequent density of game, it is almost guaranteed that visitors will see a large percentage of game in their natural habitat.

Food was excellent. Service was good. The Guide we had, Johnathon, appeared very knowledgeable and passionate about his job which is good. The park itself is small and a bit zoo like but satisfactorily. The cheetah park was good. Overall, a very good experience. Thanks.

We were a party of 4 and really enjoyed our stay. The game drives and guides are excellent, the food the tops and the rooms good. I have no hesitation in recommending the lodge to my son and family who are home for a visit in December and have already booked for a 3 night stay.
