Guest Comments for Bukela Lodge

“Our stay at The Elephant House was the first of many decadent experiences. The setting for breakfast out in the open overlooking the pool and garden was very special. It really had the wow factor - we would have loved to stay more than one night but it was an ideal choice as we could visit Addo Safari in the morning from The Elephant House before going on Safari at Bukela Lodge in the afternoon. It was an excellent plan. We really loved our trip to Addo with a very friendly ranger from The Elephant House - it was a real highlight of our trip and we would not have known it was possible to do this without you.”

“Thank you so much for all your advice and help in organising a dream holiday to South Africa.

Our visit to Bukela Lodge was outstanding, it was pure luxury with excellent service. After a couple of nights there we felt truly relaxed and pampered. The meals were excellent and the staff could not do enough for us. I cannot recommend Bukela highly enough! Harley our ranger was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He helped us to see all of the Big Five (except Cheetah) and so much more besides. Harley often got his camera out too. We went on a boat trip on the Bushmans River and saw many interesting birds.

We are truly grateful to Travel Butlers for planning a trip of a lifetime. Your peronal service and advice for the independent traveller is outstanding. You were always quick to answer my many queries about a suitable itinerary for combining a Safari, the Garden Route, the Winelands and Cape Town in a limited time frame. Booking through you made planning such a big trip very stress free.

We fell in love with South Africa and would love to use Travel Butlers again. We will be highly recommending you to everyone we know. Thanks once again!”

“We had a fantastic holiday and found the accommodation that you booked for us to be superb. Service and cleanliness in all of the accommodation booked was excellent. Particular favourites were Coral Tree Cottages where we found the hosts to be really warm and friendly and Katie really enjoyed playing with their kids and the sandpit, whilst the service at Thylitshia in Oudtshoorn and Bukela Lodge was outstanding.

Our stay at Bukela Lodge could not have been better the food, service, friendliness was outstanding nothing was too much trouble. They made the whole family feel really welcome and were great with Katie and Billy. We did 6 game drives and saw masses of animals including close encounters with a family of lions and the rhinos. We were lucky enough to have our own ranger Sandra who took us out on our own vehicle which worked fantastically with the kids. We usually took them with us for the morning drive and arranged babysitting for the evening drive. We would strongly recommend Bukela both for people with and without children.

Thanks for organising a great holiday we enjoyed it so much that we are hoping to return.”

“We had a fantastic time, and Bukela Lodge was very good.

The staff were particularly helpful/attentive, and made us all feel very welcome. The accommodation was excellent and the food was very good.

So, many thanks for all your help. We had a great time, and would certainly recommend Travel Butlers to anyone planning to visit SA.”

“We had a fantastic time - Bukela Lodge

was wonderful and they looked after us so well. I would definitely recommend them. Elsa was fabulous and such a character! The 5 star rating is well deserved and the place is stunning.”

“I have just returned from a fab holiday in South Africa which you helped me arranged. The accomodation was all fabulous and we had a great time.

The Bukela Lodge in Amakhala Game Reserve was amazing and we saw such fantastic wildlife. Our host Elza and her staff where wonderful attentive people, could not fault the place at all, and I will recommend it to friends. Bradach Manor in Knysna was a charming place with wonderful staff and the most amazing views over the Lagoon. The Oceana apartments where ideally placed and we had a great view of the Apostles and Table Mountain, when there was no cloud!

All in all a wonderful dream holiday and thank you for all your help.

Do Travel Butlers only specialise in Africa or do they arrange holidays worldwide? I sincerely hope to be using you again and recommending you.”
