We stayed at Barefoot for 3 nights and it was so special! We stayed at Fynbos and although it was quite a way to walk in the 35 to 40 degree heat it was worth every drop of sweat. The view is beautiful with the resident elephants in clear view from our " tent" and lots of game to see through the binoculars. Everything was very clean and staff friendly. Had a lovely game drive as well. Worth every cent!

This was a wonderful stay. We loved the tent lodges and the area itself. At the beginning we were a bit shocked that they offer Elephant rides, as in Europe this is out of favor and animal welfare activists say this is a cruelty to animals. But at the lodge we've learned the opposite! The Elephants are in a good mood and treated very well! Apart from that the lodge is a hidden gem. Hopefully they keep on going like it is!
