Overall Ratings & Reviews Hitgeheim Country Lodge & Eco Reserve

Sehr gut geführte Lodge mit ausgezeichnet und freundlichem Personal. Sehr gute Küche mit gutem lokalen Weinkeller.

Excellent property great views ! They even wash your car.

Beautiful views and staff very accommodateing! Had a wonderful experience at addo elephant park despite early morning rain! Would definitely tecommend you check them out!. Do pay attention to driving directions they send you. We did not and went on a rough road we did not meed to. Google sucks sometimes!

A great place if you want to be 'off grid' for a bit. Lovely location and accommodation with great wide views. All the staff were very polite and nothing was too much trouble. Our evening meals were faultless. We are happy to recommend and hope to return again one day. We would suggest of if you are want to do a trip into Addo Elephant Park with the lodge, that you book in advance. However, we went on the trip with Schotia Game reserve which was very good, which the lodge can organise for you.

The staff here are on a par with global industry leaders. The service is considerate and attentive without harrassment. They are knowledgable, friendly and efficient. The food is fantastic and allows the experience of the culture. Accomodation was superb, views for miles. Cannot rate highly enough (I work in this industry so have experienced many top hotels, this is right up there but also offers excellent value for money)

The staff is friendly and helpful. The house we stayed in was spaces, beautiful and provided everything you need. You feel like a king in a castle. Breakfast and dinner

Wonderful staff. Amazing atmosphere. Perfect place to get away from it all.

The most amazing hotel we’ve stayed at !!

Beautiful place, relaxing with amazing nature around. Rooms are large, comfortable, clean and has it all . Really enjoyed the place and the food. Service was great, no complain..but a bit too much ( for someone who does not like to be king or Queen). and it is at least 30-40 min. Drive to Addo.

A comfortable safari lodge with sweeping views. This place is up on a ridge in a small reserve overlooking the surrounding countryside of fruit trees and mountains in the distance. Our accommodation was in one half of a traditional style lodge cottage with thatched roof and a private balcony overlooking the view. It was spacious, seemed recently refurbished and the bed comfortable. The bathroom was excellent with separate indoor and private outdoor showers and a bathtub. There are a couple of small swimming pools (one adult only). Breakfast was good, and served on a verandah with the same view and dozens of wild birds on feeding tables to watch. It is close enough to drive to Addo comfortably, and the team at Hitgeheim are very keen to organise trips; in my view, Addo itself can be done easily on one’s own if you have an appropriate car; we saw plenty of elephants and zebra and a couple of lions. Schotia is a more ‘safari park’ experience, with a wider variety of wildlife which you can get closer to and an informative guide but a slightly less natural environment. The price for the Schotia transfer felt a bit steep and as it was heavily encouraged should perhaps simply be included in the cost of the trip.

Great rooms, wonderful views, excellent food and the best service

Hitgeheim was a great experience, spectacular setting, friendly helpful staff and lovely food

This stay was a few days of calm relaxation in a busy trip. We felt so well cared for. The dinners and breakfasts were excellent as was the service in every way. Our bungalow was lovely with a wonderful balcony and enormous bathroom. We were sad to leave.

Welcoming lodge offering a personalised service. Very close to Addo Elephant Park.

A very special place , we really enjoyed our stay , the staff were superb

Very cool lodge with excellent staff and food. Highly recommended to visit. You will not be disappointed.

This a lovely tranquil spot perfect for visiting the local viewing parks , we had a wonderful time with top guide Peter. The lodge has a comfortable vehicle for exploring Addo Elephant park and Peter will make the day even better. The lodge itself is well run and comfortable, the food is great and the dining room has fantastic views. The perfect Safari experience
