3.0 star property
Makhanda
8.8 out of 10, Excellent, (6 reviews)
"A really lovely and relaxing place to spend a few days whilst visiting the game reserves. Very attentive staff, a large and comfy bedroom A lookout deck, pool, hammock and outdoor seating area are all lovely, and would be fabulous in warmer weather. Three course dinner (set menu) was delicious and all home-prepared on site. The dining room is also very nice, and we were seated right by the fire - very welcome in August. The shower did go cold on us twice, but I think in winter it's harder...

Hopewell Private Game Reserve

Hopewell Private Game Reserve
5.0 star property
Colchester
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (5 reviews)
"Hopewell is potentially a stupendous destination. Accommodation was excellent and luxurious. I feel they tried too hard to provide very fancy food that did not quite come off and this could be improved. They do not have the Big 5 but there is plenty of game to see and the Ranger is excellent. This is a fantastic location for a honeymoon or just a peaceful getaway in the Eastern Cape Bush."

"From arrival to departure, the stay at Founders Lodge was superb. The Pod room has an amazing view over the Game Reserve (even from the shower!). Food is exceptional, and serving lunches and dinners from different locations within the Lodge/grounds was a nice touch. All staff are friendly, polite and good at what they do! The grounds are well maintained. The uninterrupted view of the waterhole allowed for lots of animal spotting. If you're thinking of going to an Eastern Cape Game Reserve,...

"Bukela is a beautiful stay, facilities are great, friendly staff and our ranger (Sim) was very knowledgeable. Foodwise is really below average, just not good especially for a 5* resort. It felt like diner was prepared during the day and heated up in the evening, just not fresh. Breakfast was really poor. Only meal that was good was the lunch. No snacks during the day. Due to this matter i will not likely to visit Bukela again nor reconmend to anyone which is regretful as the staff and facilities...

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Buyskloof?
The best area to stay in Buyskloof is within the private game reserves that surround the town, particularly those offering lodges with views of the valley or direct access to the wildlife areas.

For those seeking an exclusive safari experience, staying in a lodge within one of the private game reserves like those bordering the Buyskloof River is ideal. These lodges provide direct access to organised game drives and walks, often led by experienced guides. You'll find yourself surrounded by nature, with opportunities to spot local wildlife right from your accommodation. This area is great for couples looking for a romantic and immersive wildlife adventure, as many lodges offer private plunge pools, fine dining, and secluded settings.

Families will also appreciate the convenience and structured activities offered by lodges in these private reserves. Many properties cater to families with dedicated programmes for younger guests and accommodations designed to host groups comfortably.
When is the best time to go to Buyskloof?
The best time to go to Buyskloof is during the dry season, which runs from May to September.

This period offers clear, sunny days and cooler temperatures, making it ideal for outdoor activities like wildlife viewing and hiking. The vegetation is sparser, which improves visibility for spotting animals, and the risk of rain is minimal. This is particularly appealing for those looking for a comfortable and predictable safari experience without the humidity and heat of the summer months.

Couples looking for a romantic and comfortable getaway will find this time perfect. The cooler evenings are ideal for enjoying sundowners with scenic views, and the absence of heavy rains means uninterrupted safari drives and stargazing opportunities. The natural beauty of Buyskloof is at its most accessible and enjoyable during these months.

For solo travellers seeking adventure and wildlife encounters, the dry season provides optimal conditions for exploring the reserves. The lower water levels mean animals congregate around remaining water sources, making them easier to find.
