Blaauwbosch is a 5-star game reserve set in the heart of the Malaria free foothills of the Winterhoek mountain range in the Karoo.  The reserve has two lodges both newly established but mindful of the sensitivity of their location. The reserve offers a unique and private experience where guests can relax in comfort yet it is only 110kms from Port Elizabeth.   The Main Lodge comprises seven luxurious thatched chalets accommodating a maximum of only 14 guests at any one time. The suites are spacious and designed to create a private sanctuary for guests. Each has a private verandah with panoramic distant views, and fully ensuite facilities with underfloor heating and inside and outside showers.  The swimming pool is set under the cooling shade of thorn trees where guests can relax from the heat of the day. Kaai's Camp, the newer of the two lodges, consists of just four self contained suites and sleeps a maximum of 8 people. It is nestled in between two large mountains with magnificent views down a valley. The camp is thatched with spacious rooms and bathrooms with separate toilets, underfloor heating throughout, air conditioning, outdoor showers and decks.  The Camp may be taken for exclusive use. From both lodges, game drives go out morning and evening and offer a wide variety of game including the ‘Big 5’, cheetah, giraffe, zebra, antelope and abundant birdlife.  A Walk and Stalk Safari is also on offer and involves shadowing the fastest of all hunters, the Cheetah.   Places of interest to visit in the area include Addo Elephant National Park, the historic town of Graff-Reinet, Valley of Desolation, Nieuw Bethesda and it’s famous Owl House.   This is real food country. The emphasis of the menu is on fresh contemporary flavours with a nod to universally appealing dishes. Guests are encouraged to venture beyond their familiar repertoire of tastes and match food with a fine selection of South African wines. Blaauwbosch choose wines from the smaller estates ensuring that guests sample wine that they may not have experienced anywhere else.
