Kudu Ridge Game Lodge

Addo

We spent one night here as part of an organized group tour. We arrived late afternoon and spent most of our time around the fire in the dining area. 

I felt the checking-in process was a bit like the boarding school roll call. Your name gets called out, you get some stern warning and off you go to your tent. The owner was also constantly watching our group during our dinner and after-dinner chats around the fire. 

I stayed in a permanent tent with 4 single beds and a large dining room table and chairs. It's a nice setup for a family and the bathroom area of the tent was nice. 

They manage the loadshedding issue quite well too at this camp.

The resident dogs were quite the treat to have as companions.

Break the journey for a night kind of stay

Brian and I were at school together at Queens College Queenstown and this was the first time we'd met since 1968. So my review maybe a bit tilted. we had an absolutely wonderful time and we received top class treatment. Brian is a great host and very attentive to his guests. And then you have the X factor, which is Jenny. She makes sure that everything is running smoothly and does it in her quiet unassuming manner. Brian and Jenny is was a wonderful stay, hope we don't have to wait another 55 years.  Blessings Jordie and Merillyn

What a great camp, away from the hustle and bustle. Owners Brian and Jenny are fantastic hosts. Sunrises and sunsets are amazing and at night a great firepit is great for a good chat. Bar is well stocked, and the Glamping is stunning. Beds are comfy and warm and bathrooms are fantastic. Each tent is far away from the next making it feel like you are all on your own. Rusty the Ridgeback is a great welcoming dog

Great resting spot

Such friendly owners, delicious home cooked food and comfortable tents to stay for a few days and rest while you explore Addo and the beautiful area. We loved the stay and couldn't have asked for anything better

Great place and very near Addo!

Slept here one night in a Safari tent. It is clear the place once was very nice, but unfortunately in a slightly rundown state. We paid R1848 for 3 people, which is not too much, but then were charged R175 for a small chicken schnitzel (no bigger than my lady hand and no thicker than 1 cm - the kind you buy at Pick a Pay) with a tossed salad (mainly butter lettuce, no tomato) and some chips that was baked in an oven plus a piece of basic garlic bread (not even Ciabata garlic bread which would have been more in line with that price). There was also a choice of desert; ice cream and chocolate sauce or fruit salad (but it was TINNED fruit (for that price?), which I do not eat - I also do not eat ice cream). So our food worked out at R525, which is WAY too much for the food of R45 per plate (max) that was placed before us. I afterwards approached the host and they said they will look at the tariff and they reduced it to R150 each, which is still way too much.
What makes this worse is that the place is advertised with BBQ facilities, so we had our own sausage (lekker (duur) braaiwors) to braai for the night, but on the day, on our way there, we were phoned by the host to enquire whether we are eating there, since they do not have self-catering facilities. Thus, we were forced to eat this expensive dinner, even though the place advertise that they have BBQ facilities, which is then false advertising. It left an extremely bad taste in my mouth and was a spoiler on your holiday, which should have been a special family night for personal reasons. 
The advertised photos/pictures must have been taken at least 5 years back, since there is still remnants of what it used to look like, but plus what looks like hard times (maybe Covid?) or lack of upkeep. 
Also, because of the false advertising, we sat with expensive braai wors whilst they do not have a refrigerator in the units.
There is a coffee station/kitchen thingy (see photos) in the unit with Ricoffy, but no tea for those that cannot do instant chicory blends.

Not too great,

We've spent two nights here, and if there's a word that describes the lodge, it's very busy and rustic, and the lodge is run by an elderly couple who are very helpful, and we really enjoyed it and would come back all the time.

It's a beautiful experience.

A lovely little gem set in the Eastern Cape bush. 
Charming chalets and tented sites situated cleverly to afford privacy. Kudu Ridge is the ideal venue for leaving the rat race behind. 
Hosts are welcoming, accommodating and very helpful. 

Kudu Ridge

Came from Cape Town to participate in the Addo Trail run, and met Brian and Jenny, with sidekick dogs Rusty and Pedro. Lovely accommodation, facilities and great company. Every evening ended with engaging banter, sharing and laughter at the bar. Will be back.

Lovely hosts to welcome you

We had a lovely time there, would recommend it to anyone looking for a welcoming stay to visit Addo. The rooms are clean and adequate.The entertainment area is great and Brian and Jenny make you feel very welcome.

The time spent here as a family was incredibly relaxing and peaceful, with super hosts who for them nothing was too much - even though it was a lost minute booking Brian & Jenny went out of their way to accommodate us and prepare all meals, and just to generally make us feel extremely welcome. I would recommend a stay here at Kudu Ridge!
