Addo African Home

Tucked just outside Addo village, about a 10-minute drive from the main gate of Addo Elephant National Park. Close enough for easy safari days and within reach of Shamwari and Amakhala game reserves, plus Nelson Mandela Bay sights. An eco-friendly, family-friendly guesthouse base for nature and adventure.

Set in traditional rondavels with the original farmhouse converted into a lodge, the property mixes rustic charm and comfort. Rooms include air-conditioning, mosquito nets, safes, fridges/minibars, hairdryers, tea and coffee facilities, bathrobes and organic toiletries. Expect relaxed communal spaces: a lounge with books, an outdoor terrace and garden for slow afternoons.

Pamper with onsite massages and a spa area, then cool off in a natural swimming pool with loungers or the outdoor pool. Book private game drives in open-top vehicles through the tour desk, fire up the BBQ/braai, or browse the onsite shop and ATM. Complimentary wired internet and Wi‑Fi keep you connected—wake up to birdsong and garden scents.

Practical services include laundry and dry-cleaning, multilingual staff, concierge help and free private parking. Airport transfers and shuttles are available on request.

An on-site restaurant and bar serve daily meals, with a unique cooking school where international students prepare traditional French and South African dishes using produce from the organic vegetable garden and local suppliers. Continental breakfasts are offered each morning (fee applies), room service runs during limited hours, and BBQ facilities are available for a proper braai.
