We stayed at Lodge for 3 nights at the end of November, chosing the "All Inclusive" package. It was the best adventure and the best place we stayed during our trip through South Africa. Leo, our tour guide, has showed, explained and I jetted into us the wholesome approach to safari. You could feel like a carefree child that went on adventure to discover. We wish every tour guide could show to its guests such an excepcional respect towards the animals. Leo transforms such kindness, that at the end of the day you feel extremely rewarded by seeing every little living on safari, inuding birds, elephants, monkeys - all living wild and free. In the breaks, we could learn so much by having just a casual conversation with him. We really felt like being invited to magnificent kingdom of the animals, without feeling like some random intruders. A beating heart of this place is Debbie: what an outstanding manger. You "don't see her, don't hear her", but she is there and she keeps and eye on everything, ensuring such a comfortable stay for the guests. Debbie just transmits calmness, kindness, warmth, and professionalism. It was a real pleasure know her. The amazing Crew of the Lodge gives you a total family vibe. They winked an eye at us every time they left us a nice surprise in the form of flower petals or chocolates. Everything from warm towels to wipe our hands, through tasty meals (delicious soups!), was full of kindness and joy of hosting us. From warm welcome to a family-like farewell (followed by messages to check our further progress on the road) - everything was such a beautiful sign of being human that I came back completely refreshed. Enjoy every second of staying at the Lodge. Go out on adventure. Admire the nature with the respect and curiosity of an explorer. Feel fresh air on your face. Eat boldly and healthily. Relax in silence. Enjoy the polite, interesting conversations with wonderful people.

We were lucky enough to spend two nights in this wonderful, special accommodation. We stayed in the Zulu house, which is a larger one, and absolutely loved it. The furnishings are very well thought out and simply unique. Staff at the accommodation are very welcoming, over the top friendly and helpful. The restaurant is great, the safari offered there is highly recommended and the whole place is just super cute. if you would like to spend a night away from the mainstream hotels, we highly recommend Addo African homes.

It was my second stay at Kudu Ridge, it felt like visiting friends after a long time. Thanks Brian and Jenny for making it possible to change into a tent. Dimitri - you're the best, keep up the good humour! We had some chilled days there and it's the perfect location for going to Addo Elephant Park or going on a drive/night drive on the Addo Wildlife Reserve. Your fireplace is the best. And please give Pedro a kiss from me.

A wonderful experience, the accommodation is beautiful with a stunning view. At night and in the morning you can hear many animals. The staff is very friendly. We recommend booking the Elephant Encounters/Walk. The drive to the lodge is a bit rough but you have to put up with that if you want to stay in such a beautiful remote place.

The place is very beautiful, clean and the staff is helpful and efficient. Game drives were out of this world, the gravel roads around the reserve are well maintained, the safari vehicles are in good condition and the Rangers are knowledgeable about wildlife. One of the best places I've ever visited!

The owner and staff were super friendly! The estate is so beautiful and worth visiting! They made the best reservations for dinner and had an amazing breakfast! I can't wait to visit Elephant House again!

The guesthouse exceeded our expectations, the staff was very accomodating and welcoming, food was excellent as well. We had a great time and can warnly recommend a stay at this guesthouse. Thank you!

Friendly owners - always ensuring we had all we required. Lovely green garden space- quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed the dogs too! Breakfast was scrumptious and home made.
