To celebrate my 50th birthday we travelled to South Africa to go on safari. Sadly when we arrived the other guests were out on safari but we were warmly welcomed by Clifford and given a tour and drinks before heading down to our family villa. The villa was TV free which was a nice change and had a very comfortable king size bed and sofa bed for our boys. WiFi speeds were good and there was a fridge, tea and coffee making facilities and a large bathroom with bath, separate shower and separate toilet. The room was spotlessly clean. There was a small swimming pool which our son swam in and we availed of excellent massages at the spa area. The food was good with an excellent buffet breakfast with cooked options to order, a light ‘surprise’ lunch and a set menu with various options in the evening. The selection of included alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks was very good and the quality was very high. Each morning and evening we went out for 3 hours on safari and saw a variety of animals at close quarters living in the wild. This was not some staged show and our driver/guide GuGu did a great job of tracking down where the animals were and taking us to see them. We saw lions, cheetahs, elephants, rhinos, buffalo, baboons, giraffes and all manner of springboks, steinbok, oryx and other antelope. The list goes on and on. This was a great holiday and our boys aged 10 and 11 had a great time. The lodge felt safe and we were very well looked after. We would very much recommend the lodge as somewhere to relax while seeing wildlife close up.

There aren’t enough words to describe what an amazing experience we have just had at Kuzuko. The staff were like family, the rooms and the lodge itself are beautiful. Stunning views. Our Safari Guide Tim was the font of all knowledge and very passionate about the conservation of these wonderful animals (yes we saw the big 5!) The food was in abundance and to say delicious would be an understatement. Our booking agent had told Kuzuko that it was our honeymoon and without giving anything away, all I can say is they made our stay very special. I would return in a heartbeat! Book now! You won’t regret it.

Kuzuko is as perfect as it gets. This was the highlight of our long trip to South Africa. Everything was perfect. Every single detail from the clean comfortable rooms to the excellent “personalised” game drives. Food was exceptional throughout. Service was faultless from start to finish. We were greeted with genuine warmth and hospitality by every single staff who exuded passion, zest and enthusiasm. The owner even spent considerable time to ensure that we had a first class experience. Sim, our guide was absolutely brilliant and we could not have asked for anyone better. Kuzuko is one of those “thin places” between2 heaven and earth. Three words to summarise our stay - divine, perfection and luxury. Overall, I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

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!

This is a simply magical place. The view from the lodges is stunning, the food is great and the staff are super friendly and helpful. The game drives were simply amazing. We saw Lions, Rhinos Elephants, Giraffe up very close indeed and the knowledge of the game guides in explaining everything added so much to the experience. The only thing to be mindful of is that to get there the last 20k or so is a dirt road and some parts of it are quite bumpy. Not suitable for sports cars!
