About Hopewell Private Game Lodge
Redefining the meaning of ‘private’, Hopewell Lodge is an exclusive hideaway where unspoilt nature meets pure African luxury and guests reconnect with nature at their own pace.
This malaria- free private game reserve in South Africa’s beautiful Eastern Cape hosts up to 12 guests in stylish, secluded suites with sweeping views.
Waking up to the sounds and sights of the African bush, sundowners above the elephants’ favourite watering hole, relaxing in a secluded private swimming pool overlooking the bush, together with sumptuous dinners under the stars, provide the memories that linger long after your stay.
Individual bookings are taken and groups of 8 pax or more qualify for exclusive use.
Guests are guaranteed privacy and they get to set their own schedule for game drives, meals and activities.
The passionate and experienced ranger guides our guests through the rolling landscape, ever willing to stop and discuss plants, insects, birds and game spotted along the way. .
Guests are likely to encounter our herd of elephant along with hippo, hyena, giraffe, zebra, buffalo, antelope and other indigenous species.
Up close and personal interaction with a cheetah is a highlight of this unique wildlife experience.

Accommodation Options
Standard Suite - East or West
The secluded and spacious main lodge is perfectly positioned for panoramic views over the reserve. Perched above the elephants’ favourite watering hole, the deck is the ideal spot for relaxation and some idle game-viewing.
Natural materials throughout and scenic views from every angle immerse guests in this exclusive back-to-nature experience. Furnished in contemporary safari style with a focus on comfort and relaxation, the lodge is airy and light, with thatch to insulate against the African summer heat and fireplaces to ward off the winter chills.
The stylish and comfortable lounge and dining room lead on to a wide deck, with another lounge and intimate conference facility upstairs.
Two stylishly decorated en suite Standard Suites with separate outside showers overlooking the indigenous bush are available in the Main Lodge. These rooms would be suitable for a family of four or for those who prefer not to walk too much.
Enjoy meals in the lodge or outdoors on the deck or in the boma – weather permitting.
