Garden Route Game Lodge Location Map

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 3.5 scenic hours drive from Cape Town, this malaria-free 2,000 hectare private game reserve is ideal for families wanting a short safari experience.

Enjoy sunset and sunrise game drives in an open Land Rover with your experienced game ranger who will bring you sightings of lion, elephant, white rhino, buffalo and cheetah. The reserve is also home to giraffe, zebra and numerous antelope species such as bontebok, red hartebeest, kudu, eland, impala, springbuck and many more. Game drives will take between 2 and 3 hours depending on how much time is spent at each sighting. There will be a coffee stop on the morning drive and a sundowner stop on the evening drive.

Children of all ages are welcome to join the morning and evening drives when accompanied by an adult. Families are either accommodated on their own game vehicle or with other families which gives the kids a chance to make new friends while on holiday. Child minders are available to assist should you wish to enjoy a child free safari during your stay. Kids will also love the interactive tours of the Reptile Centre, home to numerous snakes and crocodiles.

Guests can choose from a wide range of accommodation options, including luxury suites, lodge rooms and private chalets.

The luxury suites have a private deck overlooking the game reserve, a freestanding bath and an outside bath and shower set in the African bush for the more adventurous! There are also 2 luxury family suites, both of which have plunge pools, and are perfectly positioned with 2 bedrooms and a spacious main room. The lodge rooms all have private patios overlooking the landscaped gardens and are conveniently located for quick access to the swimming pools. The chalets have private viewing decks and are linked to the main lodge area via a wooden walkway.

Start TestimonialThe Garden Route Game Lodge was AMAZING. Perfect place for child. We saw all the animals we would like to see and our son loved so much that you cant imagine. There were also a lot of other child and he made some good friends there. It's a great place. End Testimonial

P DUARTE

Start TestimonialThe Garden Route Game Lodge was just right for us. The staff were so helpful and really knew their facts. They were happy to provide meals for the kids when we needed them. Although the lodge is small and only has a few of each animal the game drives were perfect for kids as we could get really close to all the animals in a short space of time which Bella loved. The food was good and rooms were a generous size. The highlight of the lodge stay and in fact of the whole holiday for us was the evening we got to feed the elephants and unexpectedly were invited to stroke the cheetah. I think we were more excited than the kids! Even Freya at 7 months old was allowed to have a tug at the poor cheetahs ears! Both experiences were dreams come true and so special for all of us. Bella even forgot how poorly she was and was running up to the elephants giving them handfuls of food and loving it! End Testimonial

K CARLIN

Start TestimonialHad a fabulous time with friendly staff both on the drives and in house, would recommend it as it is fairly near Cape Town. The only suggestion would be to ask if a visit at the waterhole would provide more sighting of wildlife. Thanks for the recommendation. End Testimonial
