SOPHISTICATED AFRICA

LUXURIOUS SAFARI

Founders Lodge is intimate with only 7 suites that are accessed easily from the main guest areas, each is a gateway to privacy and exclusive down-time. Earth yourself! Take off your shoes, step off your private patio and onto the lush grass with your eyes fixed on the hilly horizons of our rare biome with distinct flora and fauna. This is how you ‘earth’ yourself, and it’s best done with a cup of tea and our Chef’s homemade biscuits – you’ll find a fresh batch in your room.

INSPIRES THE URGE

CLOSER TO NATURE

Our guides will make nature come to life, while sharing the intricacies of the history, fauna and flora of the Eastern Cape with you. If you are a birder or a keen wildlife photographer or both, our experienced guides will make the most of your experience. Our open game vehicles bring you closer to nature, adds to the excitement, and makes it easy to spot the Big 5 as well as smaller animals and birdlife.
