General Information

Blaauwbosch is an exclusive Big Five private game reserve in the malaria free Eastern Cape. The reserve offers a unique and private African wildlife safari experience where guests can relax in comfort.

Blaauwbosch Private Game Reserve Lodge is a discrete collection of thatch roofs in a crisp unspoiled landscape. The Reserve has two lodges, Blaauwbosch Main Lodge and Kaai's Camp. The chalets at the main lodge are spacious and have their own dressing rooms, full bathrooms, verandahs and mountain views of the beautiful Eastern Cape. Kaai's Camp is smaller than Blaauwbosch Main Camp and is nestled in between two large mountains with magnificent views down the valley.

At Blaauwbosch you will discover a wide variety of game on your African wildlife safari, including lion, buffalo, elephant, leopard, rhino, cheetah, giraffe, zebra, antelope, abundant birdlife and rare flora on game drives with professional rangers. This is also a birdwatcher's paradise and rare specimens are often spotted amongst the abundant birdlife.

The latest exciting project for the reserve is the introduction of cheetah and visitors to the private game reserve are also treated to one of Blaauwbosch's specialties - an African wildlife "walk and stalk" safari. This exciting safari involves the shadowing of the fastest of all land hunters, the cheetah, as it stalks its prey.
