VALLEY BUSHVELD COUNTRY LODGE is an owner managed, successful, four star,
safari-style Country Lodge in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. The
Lodge is built on a private game reserve on the banks of the Coegas River and is
nestled just 200 meters off the main R75 en-route to Addo.
Around the lodge you will spot an abundance of wildlife, some 17 species of
South African antelope, such as Kudu, Zebra, Impala, Nyala, Bushbuck, Waterbuck,
Duiker, Grysbuck, Springbuck, Warthog, Bush pig, Meerkat, Mongoose, Fox,
Porcupine, Jackal, Lynx and primates such as baboon and vervet monkey. A large
variety of birds, including bird of prey such as the majestic black eagle and
the magnificent flora resembling a natural succulent garden with aloe,
euphorbia, spekboom, as well as the protected Cycad and indigenous Strelitzia
plants can be found. You can enjoy this by going on a game walk on our reserve
and spot these animals in their natural environment.
The quietness, breathtaking view, fine dining with traditional cuisine and
unique 'story telling', allows you to relax completely. Spoil yourself in the
Jacuzzi while sipping on South African champagne and fine wines. The view from
the Jacuzzi is out of this world and you have the chance to spot wild antelope
from your seat in the Jacuzzi. You can not beat this experience
Valley Bushveld Country Lodge main lodge consists of central dining area, huge
stylish lounge with fire place and a bar area which all overlooks the river and
natural rock face in the distance. The Lodge has 5 double en-suite rooms which
sleeps two per room. Each room is subtly, yet tastefully furnished in a safari
style, with high quality linen and furniture to give you an African feel, with
all the luxuries expected of a 4 star graded establishment.
All the rooms are fitted with a well stocked mini bar / fridge with local South
African beverages. Leisure is a requisite and television sets are fitted in each
room. Each unit is serviced daily and professional service is guaranteed. Each
room is supplied with fresh towels daily. Laundry services are available on
request.
We are in very close proximity from renowned reserves like Addo Elephant
National Park, the world famous Shamwari Game Reserve, Cheetah Breeding farm,
Elephant Back Safaris and the oldest Private Lion Game Reserve in the area.
Our safari tours & options will give you an experience which can not be beaten.
We will take you within metres of the Big 5 which include Elephants, Lions,
Rhino, Hippo, Buffalo and over 20 species of other antelope. You will have the
opportunity to touch and interact with Cheetah’s and hold Lion cubs in your
arms. This gives you picture opportunities that is truly unique and you can
experience all of this with us.
An absolute favorite among guests is to arrange a 3 or 4 day stay with us and to
use our Lodge as a base camp. From there we organize day trips to the Addo
National Elephant Park or any of the other game parks. A day visit to Jeffreys
Bay - the surfing paradise of South Africa, is also a big favorite. The ultimate
of course, is to combine a trip to the Addo National Elephant Park and an
Elephant Back Safari experience, which includes an approximate 1 hour elephant
ride, and a 1 hour guided walk, following these gentle giants through their
natural habitat.
Alternatively you can use a self-drive option for those clients who would prefer
to explore the region independently and we can assist you in planning your safe
routes from our lodge to various game parks and sights. You can use our Country
Lodge as base camp from where you can travel each day to various destinations
and back to our lodge in the evening and enjoy a scrumptious dinner and share
your experiences with your hosts and co-guests.
During the cold winter evenings, you will always find a fire going in the huge
fireplace and in the summer time a nice South African cold beer out on the
patio-deck, rounds off a perfect day. Guests can spoil themselves in the Jacuzzi
while sipping on fine South African wines.
Our reserve also boasts one of the only areas left where indigenous Strelitzia
(birds-of-paradise) plants can be found in South Africa.
We can plan everything for you, from pick up at Port Elizabeth airport to
setting up a dream holiday in South Africa for you.
If you are just passing through then our Lodge is perfect for a bed and
breakfast to stay over.
