Kuzuko Lodge
4.6/542 Reviews
What a disappointment. Kuzuko has very few animals, and claims to have nothing to do with Addo Elephant Park, despite what you may read here on Tripadvisor and on other websites. The food and accommodation were good, but the reason for our trip and the significant financial commitment we made, was for much more; hence our disappointment. At dinner on our first night the food and beverage manager came to our table to ask how our day was and I told him I was disappointed at how few animals there were and that I felt misled because I understood I was going to Addo Elephant Park and that I would see lots of elephants and other animals. The buffalo are kept separate and are fed, so it's a bit like a big zoo, or for those from the UK, it's like Woburn. The staff were pleasant but the general manager, Helen, seemed quite upset that I expressed my disappointment with her and her colleagues. She sent me an email during my stay stating that they were not part of Addo Elephant Park, and that all their communications had been clear about that. She also took the opportunity to give me a telling off, which I found surprising, as a paying guest. Here's an excerpt from her email: “I understand that you feel aggrieved but please do not hold Kuzuko responsible for this and kindly refrain from repeatedly and negatively expressing your disappointment to our team members – Kuzuko not done anything wrong” I contacted a local tour business and they came to fetch myself and some other guests and gave us a fantastic day out at Addo Elephant Park, where we saw over 100 elephants, meerkats and other wildlife. This was very reasonably priced and great value for money. There are lots of other beautiful and less expensive places to stay in the area. If you want to see wildlife this is not the spot.
Pumba Private Game Reserve
4.8/547 Reviews
Well, where do you start. This was a bucket list trip for my wife's 60th birthday and what a trip. Firstly, top marks to Trailfinders who organised an exceptional trip, which literally went without fault, from start to finish with many parts to organise, thank you to the team in Belfast. Pumba... it's magical ! Its more than what you expect.. .... luxurious, private, personal... more like moving in to your own world of luxury. The pictures on their web site do it justice, the staff are without exception, wonderful. The accommodation is.... breathtaking... the food divine... but the main reason you come here is to see the wildlife.. and boy... do you see it! Lions, lion cubs, white lions, elephants, rhino, hippo, giraffe, cheetah, monkeys and of course, Zebra and Impala. But what makes the safari special is your driver...Mzi was ours, what a gentleman, so much knowledge, expertly delivered as he drove our Land Rover around to places that I didn't think even Land Rovers could go.... and then in the middle of nowhere, he produces a bar and serves a mean G&T and aperitifs (hot chocolate, coffee and muffins on the morning drive). Back at the lodge you relax on your own balcony, with plunge pool and outside shower while you look down on the lake and the elephants and Hippos. A special thank you also to the ladies in the restaurant and reception who are expertly guided by Hannes, a real life Safari star. We hope to see you all soon again.
