Kuzuko Lodge

This was a 4 day stay , enabling us to do 8 game drives. We saw 4 of the big 5 and it was so well organised , with a very knowledgable guide , plus running a bar for 'sundowners' , great coffee and Aftican folk music. This in addition to making sure we saw the animals we really wanted to see as close up as is safe. The main lodge is beautiful , with high quality self contained lodges for guests , superb food and a spa and gym if that wasn't enough The staff made us very welcome , looked after us so well and made us feel special .

This is without a doubt the best place I have ever stayed. Our room had a stunning view of the plains and watering hole (we even spotted a herd of elephants from our balcony) and was spotlessly clean and cosy, with so many cute personal touches. The staff felt like a family and couldn't help us enough. Our every whim was catered to - they even made me lactose free versions of everything on the menu, including a special dessert every night. Every meal was divine and some of the best food I have ever tasted. We were blown away by the service. Our ranger Sean was so warm and friendly and super knowledgeable about the animals. We saw all of the Big 5 and then some, including the elusive cheetahs. They also offer nature walks, where we tracked the herd of giraffes and learnt so much. This was a magical experience for us and I only hope that we can return one day for another amazing experience. I cannot recommend this place enough!

What a gem! We are South Africans living in the UK who visited the Lodge in August 2024. Upon arrival you are greeted with drinks, a hand massage and a very friendly team. The Lodge reception is spacious yet feels intimate enough to sit and relax next to a log fire, with a drink in your hand and a book. The views are spectacular and we enjoyed amazing sunsets with a G & T. The food is delicious and very interesting. I particularly enjoyed the Spekboom salad, something that you will only ever eat here but there are always something for the pickiest eater. We were surprised with a birthday cake for my 13year old. Incredible attention to detail. Our guide, Lena, was extremely knowledgeable. Although we are used to South Africa and the wildlife, it was our children's first safari experience. We saw the big five and could sometimes sit and watch them at our leisure with Lena patiently answering all of our questions. We also saw quite a few of the lesser known game. Each game drive included yummy snacks and a drink in different locations enjoying the spectacular scenery and sunsets. It must be mentioned that seeing animals in a natural habitat includes a shap eye and a bit of patience and it is so rewarding when you find them. I have to mention the following staff who went out of their way to make our stay special, Sean, Elena, Dedrick, Yolisa and Clifford. Thanks all - we will be back. ❤️

I can't recommend Kuzuko Lodge highly enough. We had an amazing 4 nights here. So lucky to get Shaun as our ranger - he makes it his mission to give his guests the best experience possible and to share his extensive knowledge.We were lucky enough to see Lions, Rhinos , Buffalos, Giraffes, Zebra and all manner of Antelope and birds- sadly the Cheetahs hid from us but we had an amazing encounter whilst looking for them with a herd of Elephants in the Addo including a tiny baby one. I arrived without luggage due to an airline mixup - the team sorted all this for me and even went on a 6 hour round trip to collect my bag when it arrived. The food was lovely and the lodges very comfortable. I celebrated a milestone birthday whilst there and can honestly say I had the best birthday experience. The team worked with my husband to organise several surprises - from champagne on the early game drive , a private dining experience and a lovely cake. The weather was very mixed -really hot one day to strong winds and rain. It can be very nippy in the mornings and evenings so lots of layers are needed. Special mention to Shaun the Ranger, Derrick the restuarant manager, Siya our lovely waitress who gave me such a special dining experience and the reservation team for sorting my suitcase!

We had a wonderful multi-generational holiday at Kuzuko Lodge. All the staff were very helpful and friendly. The restaurant was great; plenty of choice for vegetarians and children, and a lot of flexibility as well. Tim was an amazing guide/ driver; in spite of poor weather he took care that we saw as many animals and birds as possible, and was a mine of information, always responsive to the children and what they were interested in. The lodge is very comfortable; our rooms had an amazing view and the sofa bed for the children was fine. The fires in the main lodge were certainly welcome, as were the hot towels and chocolate each time we got back. We were lucky to have several conversations with James and greatly enjoyed hearing about how the lodge was set up; an inspirational story. The lodge was a great choice for a first safari with children ( 7 and 11) because sightings were pretty guaranteed without driving long distances and there was the option to get down from the jeep occasionally; once when we were near giraffes which was amazing.

Absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Saw the big 5 which was amazing . Lodges clean , food amazing staff friendly and welcoming . I celebrated my birthday while staying and was treated to a breakfast outside over looking the park . A BIG thank you to “flo” our game driver who was always bubbly and “Teresa” who looked after us on my birthday An amazing experience
