Enjoyed a wonderful stay with great hosts, scenery and fantastic service! Would go back without any hesitation! I can understand how guests would want to return - from reading reviews, Niall and his team made us feel totally welcome and shared their expertise, knowledge and many light hearted moments. The lodge and accommodation are private and in a beautiful setting.... More

We had an unforgettable and beautiful experience at the Hopewell Lodge, where we stayed with my parents for an extended weekend. The mixture of pure nature with wild animals and beautiful landscape, personal guide, incredibly friendly staff that really did everything to make us feel comfortable, fantastic food and wine and the luxurious main house which we had for ourselves...

This was our third time at Hopewell and it just gets better. The game viewing this time was superb once again, the highlight being 3 young Cheetahs just learning the art of hunting. Bruce, the ranger , makes each trip into the bush especially interesting with all his considerable knowledge of flora ,fauna and the animals. If you are lucky... More

Accommodation was very luxurious (malteasers in the bedroom!). Views breathtaking. Amazing food: breakfast on the veranda, dinner in an outside area with a fire and under a tree all lit up with lanterns! Very romantic (shame we were a group of 6 girls!). Bruce the game ranger was happy to take us out on safari whenever we liked and every... More

Wow, what a great experience! Luxurious accommodation, fantastic service and very good food rates Hopewell as one of the best places I’ve stayed (the service was, in my opinion, even better than the 7 star Burj al Arab in Dubai!!). The rooms/suites are very luxurious, and you can enjoy a spectacular view (and maybe even animals) from your bed. The... More

If excellence is what you're after, Hopewell's got it. Bruce, Tammi, Tania and the chef, Lumke, were simply the best. Thanks for a truly wow bush experience, loved the food, boma and game drives. Keep it up. Mike
