Wildehondekloof Game Reserve, Oudtshoorn, South Africa

A Boutique Lodge or Hotel in South Africa

Camp Details

Wildehondekloof was bought in 1996 as a barren farm without any fencing, roads or infrastructure. The construction of the cold room facility and managers quarters commenced in 2002 and simultaneously the idea of constructing the lodge utilizing the existing building was born. During construction of the lodge it became clear that the current building would not suffice and the planning of the current Wildehondekloof Lodge started, which resulted in the magnificent five en suite air-conditioned roomed lodge. The lodge became a landmark with hunters and nature lovers, both from South Africa and abroad.

In 2005, a breeding herd of seven Eland were purchased, as the first introduced animals delivered to Wildehondekloof. The introduced Eland complimented the existing animals, consisting of Common Rheedbuck, Mountain Rheedbuck, Vaalribbok and Klipspringer. Since then more Eland, Kudu, Gemsbuck, Red Hartebeest, Blue Wildebeest, Black Wildebeest , Nyala, Burchell’s Zebra, Blesbuck, Impala and Springbuck have been introduced.

The lodge offers 8 luxurious bedrooms all en-suite & air-conditioned with stunning views of the mountain and river. 1 Private Presidential Suite has a king size bed and a private lounge with inside fireplace and private veranda overlooking the mountains and river.

All bedrooms are provided with bed linen, towels, toiletries (i.e. toilet paper, hand wash, shampoo and shower gel) and coffee/tea facilities. A laundry facility is provided at the guests disposal. The double sided fireplace situated in the middle of the spacious lounge invites guests to enjoy time spent with friends and family.

The indoor dining area has a wood braai, yellowwood bar with undercounter fridges and ice machine. The wood fired pizza oven is situated outdoors and undercover. A magnificent boma is nestled between the poplar trees (wood and firelighters are provided for the braai, fireplace, pizza oven and boma).
