Hotel Blue Crane Route

« A true "safari" experience in the bush. Our every need was catered for in a professional and friendly manner. The food was exceptional too ! The warmth and hospitality of the staff was outstanding. Particularly our professional game guide Ryan. He went out of his way to make our encounters with the animals something to remember. »

« Un lodge en harmonie avec la nature. Guides et personel qualifé. »

« Incredible place, incredible value. Rietjiesbos has everything - spacious and impeccably clean rooms, comfy beds, endless amenities and wonderful hosts. They even went so far as to clean our car for us! Loved every bit of our stay, and can't thank Malcolm and Glyn enough! »

« Buccara was awesome - a stunning and really peaceful location. Martiné was really helpful and set us up with a lovely braai pack. We were fortunate that being a quiet time - we had the entire manor to ourselves. A major suggestion would be to have a viewing deck down at the river so we could sit and have a sun downer looking at the game and birds in the river. It was a bit of a disappointment that we could not really see much of the game on the drive in and out and could not find a nice spot to...

« Excellent staff. Beautiful room and very clean. »

« Superbe chambre et salle de bain immense »

« I did appreciate the fact that I was accomodated for a late check-in. »

« Our stay was incredible. Desmond, our guide, gave us some incredible sights and we were really lucky to see 4 out of the big 5 alongside various other interesting animals. The reserve is vast and there is plenty to see, the fact that there are various lodges across the reserve means even if you have a fairly quiet hotel, there are plenty of rangers out doing drives which helps your chances of animals being spotted and your ranger making their way there. The accomodation is lovely, a perfect room...

« Tout était parfait ! Lieu magnifique, personnel très agréable, nourriture excellente Je recommande ! »

« Outstanding staff in a fabulous location. Safari trips were productive each day with many species represented. »

« Amazing weekend, staff go out of their way to ensure you are happy and they will try their upmost best to ensure you get game sightings during the stay. food is amazing, benefit if you are Muslim it is 100% halal accommodation is very luxurious and comfortable. Definitely a 5 star experience. »

« Accueil chaleureux avec de bons conseils et informations pour notre séjour à Graaff-Reinet....et tout particulièrement pour le restaurant « Polka » vivement recommandé Séjour d’une nuit dans le self-catering Jade, spacieux et bien équipé mais un manque d’éclairage (problème d’électricité en AFS...) Un beau jardin avec barbecue Tous les logements d’Obesa Lodge sont colorés et occupent toute la rue bordée d’immenses cactus...à découvrir.... »

« Outstanding in every way. Service, staff, facilities, environment, world class dining, game drives, etc. Already planning our next stay. »

« You’re right on the edge of the best reserve in the area & the game drives are all on the Shamwari Game Reserve. These are better than we ever expected & our ranger/guide, Cillia, was the best! Daniel at the Lodge managed everything for us & was always there for our needs, nothing was too much trouble & he ensured everything ran like clockwork. Cynthia was brilliant, always smiling and calm, Ntombi was also excellent and helped us with our questions about local culture. Overall superb! »

« Un superbe établissement »

« Très bel établissement, personnel compétent et très aimable. Bien placé à 11km de l’Addo Elephant Park seulement. Très belle propriété. Le restaurant est aussi agréable peut-être un peu cher et la cuisine ouverte sur la salle enfume un peu trop l’établissement. »

« Eine Location mit sehr viel Charme, tollem Ranger Clifford, freundlichsten Personal, auch wenn die Eintichtungen etwas „in die Jahre“ gekommen sind. Für die Anfahrt über die letzten 14 km unbefestigte Straße sind sicher 30 min Autofahrt einzuplanen. Diese Straße muss man auch zurück, wenn der Nationalpark besucht wird. »

« Trois tentes confortables au charme ancien en pleine nature avec feu de camp et safaris compris. Accueil prévenant et très bien informé. Expérience unique ! »

« From the very first moment and the warm welcome this was an unforgettable experience. The lodges, the setting (even the amazing 28km gravel track to get in!), the staff & the food were first class. Top all of that off with an elephant encounter and you have memories that will last a lifetime! The ladies there arranged a half-day guided safari for us at nearby Addo Game Reserve - thoroughly recommend that too. »
