An
absolute favourite with our guests, is to arrange
a 2 or 3 day stay with us and to
use our Lodge as a base camp. From there we plan
day trips to the Addo National Elephant Park or
any of the other game parks – see
Packages & Specials and
see
Info on Game Parks.
A day visit
to Jeffreysbay – the surfing paradise of
South Africa, is also a big favourite –
relaxing on the beach, soaking up the sun –
a sunlover’s dream! The ultimate of course,
is to combine various trips during your stay with
us, visiting the Addo
National Elephant Park, the Private
Lion Game Reserve, Cheetah
farm and the Elephant
back safari experience.
All tours are
conducted by experienced tour guides and we offer
flexible itineraries. |
Alternatively
you can use a self-drive option for those clients
who would prefer to explore the region and game
reserves 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. We know the area best so it is useful
if we assist you in planning your safe routes. |
|
During the cold winter
evenings, you will always find a fire going
in the huge fireplace where guests can enjoy
the story tellings, 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. All this
makes it the ideal home away from home.
|
|
|
| For
those guests who would just want to relax, we
have the perfect venue for you! Relax on the
patio-deck, catch up on some reading and experience
true peace and quite. We have great hiking trails
where you can explore the surroundings and animal
life and view over 17 species of animals which
can be found on our own reserve.
Our reserve
also boasts one of the only areas left where
indigenous Strelitzia (birds-of-paradise) plants
can be found in South Africa. You can choose
between a guided walk or you can do it in your
own time. |
For guests who would like to do something
different, we can combine your trip with a
photographic safari - our selection of options
will compliment your visit to 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. Your
dream holiday is only a click away!
|
All
you need to do to experience all of this is
to book your stay with Valley Bushveld Country
Lodge.
We will do ALL the planning for you. |
