                Loved it, so cool to get close to the giraffes and bonus to see the other animals all whilst enjoying the included beers as part of the package. Open high design of the vehicle and knowledgeable tour guide also added to the experience. Recommended 👍🏻

                We had such an amazing time at the lodge. The perfect location right at the bottom of the mountain, with the sound of silence made it special. Willem's great hospitality made the stay even more worth while.

                We had a fabulous stay at the Swatberg Private Game Lodge! Willem was a wonderfully gracious host who simply could not do enough for us. We were passing through and very happy that he accommodated our somewhat last minute booking. It was such a memorable stay watching giraffes, buck and zebras roam freely throughout the property. The food was fabulous and the service even better. We highly recommend.

                This two night stay will be up there as one of the most memorable travel experiences of our lives! Fabulous suite with patios on two sides. Marvellous setting in the mountains. Delicious evening meals. Home baked sourdough with breakfast. Set on a private reserve we did an evening Safari drive and the views of all the mountains was breath taking! Oh, and we saw giraffe, various Antelope and Cape Zebra! Cannot recommend highly enough. Willem and his small team were wonderful and we were genuinely sad to leave after two short nights. Thank you all for an amazing time. Myra
