Addo Wildlife

On Heritage Day 2025, my family and I visited your stunning restaurant. We were delighted by the exceptional service we received, despite having read nearly all of the previous reviews. Upon our arrival, the waitress, SIYA, greeted us with courtesy and directed us to a table that accommodated five individuals. She allowed us to take our time and peruse the menu before returning promptly to take our orders. We had to ask for five more minutes! The new owner stopped by our table at least five times during our visit!! The dinner was fantastic, and every single person of my family had their expectations exceeded! Congratulations to you and your team, Sir!! We'll be back! Hamilton De Beer and Family from PE.

We were two couples staying together in a luxury chalet with a shared kitchen and central sitting room. Each bedroom had its own bathroom and a private door opening onto the patio. The chalets are spacious and beautifully designed, surrounded by springboks, an orange orchard, and well-kept, lush green lawns and gardens. Each morning we woke up to the sound of birdsong all around us—a truly peaceful setting. The food at the restaurant was delicious and exceptional, and we’d like to compliment both the owner and the staff for their outstanding hospitality. A wonderful stay in every way!

We stayed for 3 days and were very happy and comfortable. We got to see the springboks every morning grazing outside our chalet. We went on 2 excellent safaris and were very happy with the guide and his knowledge of the parks and the animals. We would highly recommend Addo Wildlife for a carefree few days where you can park your car and relax. Food is excellent at their restaurant 😋

Beautiful restaurant just need different staff. The service was pathetic. Went there to watch the rugby and have some nice food. Was told that we couldn't order anything besides for breakfast because it was before 11. Ordered the breakfast waitress got my order wrong.i asked her if I can have a small side chips she said not before 11. Only too see chips with main meals being served. She was nowhere didn't even check up on us once. The manager is just a pathetic. That place could do so much better with staff that has drive. I felt so bad for the family that walked in and just stood around because they were waiting to be seated. The one waitress was busy rearranging the lounge area.she looked at them so many times without asking them if they have been helped. 2 waitresses walked pass them twice while they were just standing there. The food took so long ontop it. Won't be going back there again. Just hope that the accommodation staff isn't as pathetic.

A phenomenal experience. The hosts are the most divine couple. The accommodation... I felt like a queen! The food is top class - delicious! Overall, the best best best spoil right on oir doorstep of Port Elizabeth.

Excellent. Only negative was the chicken supreme which was very dry and overcooked. The rest of the meal was really good. The red wine was corked but they took it back without hesitation.

We so enjoyed our time at Addo Wildlife. The cottages are well equipped and extremely luxurious and spacious! Dinner at the restaurant was delicious! The game drive was amazing! Richard, our ranger, was very informative and we nearly witnessed a lion kill which was really exciting. Supper in the beautiful, outdoor Boma after the drive was a treat! Thank you to LeRoux and staff for a fantastic time we spent at your great lodge!

Although it's a family restaurant, the kids menu are very limited. We went for breakfast, and we could only order from the breakfast menu which had less than 10 items toel choose from. Went I ordered the burger and fries for the kids, I was told they can't do burger and fries as they are only serving breakfast, I asked for the kids breakfast menu then, and they don't have a breakfast menu for kids but we can't order from the normal menu... I was confused, and asked what do you offer then for kids??? I was told scramble eggs or toasted cheese, which I'm fine with but I would expect a bigger menu option for kids. Secondly, the animal enclosure are clean and neat but the big bird enclosure had 3 sick birds in and a injured bird that was limping around. The meerkat enclosure had plastic and material laying around. I was not impressed with the animal enclosures. Overall the venue and gardens are stunning.
