Hitgeheim Country Lodge Addo Accommodation at its best. A private eco-reserve in the heart of the malaria- free Eastern Cape
(267)

Hitgeheim Country Lodge is situated on a private eco-reserve in the heart of the Eastern Cape, only minutes from the Addo Elephant National Park. On arrival, you are warmly welcomed into this place of peace and tranquillity. The stylishly appointed chalets offer extra-length beds draped in crisp white percale linen. Luxurious bathrooms, outdoor showers and private wooden decks with breathtaking views, invite you to relax and unwind completely. Awake to the haunting cries of the fish-eagles, residents to the Sundays River below the veranda of your chalet. Accompany our guide in our open safari vehicle to the Addo Elephant National Park for the best elephant viewing in the world, arrange an exhilarating encounter with three orphan gentle giants, visit one of the nearby ‘Big 5’ private game reserves for the best in lion sightings, interact with cheetahs and lion cubs or simply go for a walk. Afterwards, indulge in a refreshing swim or sundowners on the veranda as day gives way to the silence of a vast African night. Select your w**e from our private collection from the walk-in cellar before you sit down to a gourmet dinner by candlelight. Here you will experience true South African hospitality at its best!

Fun Fact Friday! 🦁

Lions are professional loungers, spending up to 20 hours a day resting! Their activity usually picks up after sunset, with time spent socialising, grooming and moving around. As dawn approaches, they become more active, with hunting often taking place in the early morning hours.

An elephant’s trunk can hold up to 6–8 litres of water! 🐘💧

Rather than drinking directly through its trunk, an elephant sucks up water, stopping short of its sinuses, before spraying it into its mouth to swallow. After all, breathing, blowing and swallowing aren’t exactly easy to coordinate!

And that’s not all. An elephant’s trunk also acts as a natural snorkel, allowing it to breathe while swimming across bodies of water. Nature’s engineering at its finest. 🌿
