Blaauwbosch Private Game Reserve -
near Addo
Blaauwbosch
Private Game Reserve Lodge is a
discrete collection of thatch roofs in a crisp unspoiled landscape. Set in
the heart of the Malaria free foothills of the Winterhoek mountain range in
the
Karoo, Eastern Cape, the lodge is newly established but is mindful of the sensitivity of it's
location.
The reserve offers a unique and private experience where guests can relax in
comfort. Luxurious chalets are spacious, air-conditioned and have their own
dressing rooms, full bathrooms, verandahs and mountain views.
Blaauwbosch
offers six luxurious suites that accommodate fourteen guests. The suites are
spacious and designed to create your own sanctuary. Beds are not simply
made; they are dressed in fine linen with an eye to a private or romantic
cocoon.
The lodge colours are earthy and muted, floors screaded and polished, but
scattered with richly coloured carpets. The bush is all around you and while
you may intend to read for an hour or so there will be distractions. The lodge
is surrounded by bush where birds and animals appear unexpectedly.

A late and substantial breakfast after the early morning
game drive fuels you for the day and light lunches fill the gap before the
option of an evening game drive. This is real food country. The emphasis of
the menu is on fresh contemporary flavours with a nod to universally appealing
dishes. Guests are encouraged to venture beyond their familiar repertoire of
tastes and match food with a fine selection of South African wines.
With professional rangers, you are likely to view rhino,
cheetah, giraffe, zebra, antelope, abundant birdlife and rare flora on
our game drives. This is a birdwatchers paradise and binoculars are
trained to spot rare specimens amongst the abundant birdlife. The latest
exciting project for the reserve is the introduction of cheetah. A
"walk and stalk" safari involves the shadowing of the fastest
of all land hunters as it stalks its prey.
You can combine a visit
to the nearby Addo Elephant Park which is home to the Big 5.
