"Bukela is a beautiful stay, facilities are great, friendly staff and our ranger (Sim) was very knowledgeable. Foodwise is really below average, just not good especially for a 5* resort. It felt like diner was prepared during the day and heated up in the evening, just not fresh. Breakfast was really poor. Only meal that was good was the lunch. No snacks during the day. Due to this matter i will not likely to visit Bukela again nor reconmend to anyone which is regretful as the staff and facilities...

"We had a wonderful and relaxing stay, and can’t wait to return to enjoy another few days of game drives and the beautiful surroundings. A big thank you to all the staff at Mount Camdeboo Private Game Reserve; everyone was so friendly, and professional, and our guide was a wealth of knowledge and expertise and made each drive memorable.

Top Eastern Cape Hotel Reviews

Courtyard Hotel Gqeberha

10/10 Excellent

"ROOM WAS EXCELLENT AND LOCATION WAS FINE. STAFF VERY SLOW AND LONG WAIT FOR DRINKS AND FOOD. ALL GREAT THOUGH WHEN THEY ARRIVED. STAFF NOT VERY CARING OR INTERESTED AND NO ONE KNEW HOW TO USE THE COFFEE MACHINE IN THE LOBBY TO HELP US. ROOM WAS GREAT THOUGH AND VERY SPACIOUS."

Safari Lodge - Amakhala Game Reserve

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay in Safari Lodge. Staff were super helpful and friendly. The game drives with Bon Bon were incredible as we saw so many animals and learnt about their behaviours. Each lodge was individually located so you had a strong sense of privacy. We even watched warthogs coming to drink at the water hole from our lodge. The food was very good. My one suggestion for improvement is either to have an indoor toilet near the dining areas or to spray the outdoor toilet with mosquito repellent each morning as the standing water meant it was full of mosquitos in the morning."
