What's not to love?? Amazing views, wonderful staff and facilities. We booked an ocean view cabin and it was roomy, clean, and comfortable. I have celiac disease and the staff went out of their way to make sure we had what we needed for cooking and that meals were safely prepared in therestaurant. My husband went quadding and loved it. I wish we had booked more time- we will be sure to come back.

From start to finish a fantastic experience - the camp is focused on conservation and reuniting the animals with their home - which we felt throughout the safaris we did. Our guide, Seve, was so knowledgeable and friendly, making great conversation throughout. The food was fantastic, the staff were all very good and the pool was nice after a morning safari!

We stayed at the Ulubisi House and our stay was perfect: the staff (Douglas, Papa Si, Sarrah) was exceptional, the rooms were always clean and had the perfect temperature. Breakfast includes everything one could wish for. Lunch & dinner were always very good, they even adapted the menu to our wishes on Christmas Eve. The landscape you see from your window is just beautiful. Our daily game drives were the best thing of our stay: Austin (our guide) knows so much about the animals and patiently answers all your questions; you can really tell that he loves his job. He gave us ponchos and blankets if we felt cold during the game drive. When game drives are over, you have the option to use bicycles to go around on your own (only possible in a fenced area without dangerous animals). We really loved our stay!!

The spot is just sumptuous, with views over the wetlands and the winding river. The staff were all incredible and provided such a personalised service. The breakfasts and dinners we had at the restaurant were simply delicious. The styling and views of the room throughout the hotel were incredible and made you feel so connected to nature and provided an excellent environment to disconnect and relax.

Mossel Bay is a great place to holiday and stay. All amenities are close-by : shops, entertainment, restaurants, nice little shops to browse around in. Museums are informative and showcases the history well. Getting around is easy (not during the high local holiday season). From highly adventurous activities to do for example shark cage diving, sky diving etc to lazing on the beach. During my stay the weather was perfect!

Beautiful sea view, almost seemed it was a private beach with no crowd or very few people on the beach. We ate at the The Views Restaurant, Nandos in George, Sailor Sam in Knysna, Aweh Brew in Plettenberg Bay and Freshline Seafood in Knysna. It is easy to get around Wilderness because there is just one main road., the N2. although it is terrible to drive on this N2 road because of the ridiculous speed limits, besides the road construction, is also the cause of traffic build up.

Albertinia is a small country town without the big fast food...

Albertinia is a small country town without the big fast food take aways . Very rural . You can buy the basics at one of the cafes or Pizza place . There is not much as far as shops go so it is a stopover to break a long journey or a week or two of total peace and quite without too many modern day interruptions. There is a braai area and all you could want to have to have an enjoyable stop and a good night's sleep and no rush to get you out in the morning .. I simply bought rolls and cold meat and yogurt at Piet se kafee as I did not want to cook . Coffee is provided although if to a heavy coffee drinker you may want to buy a bit extra as most guest houses only give you enough for two or three cups of coffee . I had a nice chat with the owner who told me about the abundance of underground water and about the area in general...This is not a property where you can come in and drink and party and be a nuisance to others . . No smoking inside the chalets which is excellent @

A beautiful region, with excellent restaurants. The Grootrivier and (Western Cape part of) the Bloukrans River passes are exceptional, as is Nature's Valley. The Birds of Eden is THE world leading bird conservancy -- the biggest anywhere with free flying birds in a magnificent forest with a beautiful kloof, waterfall ,,, The nearby Monkeyland and Jukani conservancies are also probably the best in Africa. Thyme & Again restaurant is also a favourite.
