Rippon's Safari Lodge

Welcome to Rippon's Safari Lodge, a new and exciting landmark in the Eastern Cape, one of South Africa's top game viewing areas - a lodge where down-to-earth affordable luxury and a respect for the environment go hand in hand - right in the centre of some of the best game viewing regions around.

Historic Rippon's Safari Lodge, originally a settlers' farm, dating from the late 1800s, is perfectly located right next to the spectacular Shamwari Game Reserve. In all there are 12 guest rooms in beautifully-refurbished buildings set in the midst of fabulous gardens, right on the doorstep of South Africa's bush, where the "Big Five" are among the animals you are likely to spot during one of your twice-daily game drives.

Good home-cooked food, a relaxing family atmosphere, sunny swimming pools and shady verandah - visit Rippon's and relax like you never have before.
