Eastern Cape Game Reserves

Koffylaagte Game Reserve, Eastern Cape

Nestled in the folds of the Klein Karoo mountains, lies the tranquil country oasis of Koffylaagte Game Reserve, a private game reserve only 130km south-west of Port Elizabeth. This private game reserve, which is now home to over 22 different species of African Antelope, giraffe, white rhino and an abundance of other game, was previously used as a private hunting farm and with the purchase of the two adjacent sheep farms, the reserve has been consolidated into 1800 hectares of pristine grazing and browsing grounds.

In keeping with the area’s settler history, the original farm house was tastefully renovated and the surrounding areas transformed into a tranquil Karoo oasis with green grass and succulent gardens overlooking a large rock pool that encompass the breathtaking Karoo views. Alongside the rock pool, a sauna, various indoor and outdoor braai facilities, a thatched lapa, staggered rest and relaxation corners and hammocks have all been discreetly and strategically placed, which create a peaceful ambience. Special effort was made to preserve the original Karoo farm atmosphere and decorate the farm houses with the furniture and style of that era, whilst keeping the old hunting lodge, the bar and the trophy room with billiard and dart games intact with its original charm.

Nearby attractions include Blaauwbosch Game Reserve (offers the big 5), Addo Elephant National Park, Darlington Dam, Baviaanskloof - the lodge is almost centrally situated between some of the Eastern Cape’s best known tourist attractions.
