This was just unbelievable! The drive up to Camp Figtree is a bit tricky, especially if you have a standard car, so if you are renting a car, i would recommend something like a 4x4. This luxury accommodation is situated on top of the Zuurberg mountains and the views are so amazing, you can just sit on your balcony and... More

We stayed 2 nights in Camp Figtree and we really had a perfect time ! You have to be aware that the trip to get there is not easy, but it is worth it! The last kilometers are not easy to drive with a regular car and if you have a choice I would prefer a 4x4! We were greated... More

Camp Figtree has a very special place in our hearts. We have visited several times each year over the last 10 years or so and take all our visitors from overseas to enjoy the ambiance, views, peace and quiet, great staff and tasty meals. The accommodation is spacious and comfortable with fantastic views down the valleys and across the mountains.... More

We recently stayed here with a 3 year old and a 21 week baby!! The drive up to the lodge is on a dirt road like no other! Wow! Steep, potholes and the undercarriage of our car kept on scraping!! But once we arrived at Camp Figtree, the wonderful view and hospitality soon made up for the interesting drive!! Gift... More

This is an incredible place. Rooms - or rather tin chalets on stilts - hovver over what looks like rain forest and the bird song is extraordinary. Staff are lovely (especially our waiter Gift) but these was a feeling of everyone needing to be managed rather better than seemed to be the case. There was very little information about the... More

The location of this place is mind-blowing, and an entertaining half-hour drive from Addo Elephant Park. We found the staff to be very friendly and keen to please (especially Gift, who was charming), and the food was consistently superb and great value (although dinner is additional to the room tariff, which isn’t particularly clear on booking), as was the wine...

Camp Figtree truly is a gem worth discovering. The dirt road up the mountain was in an excellent condition and this means a fairly comfortable dive to get there. The staff's friendliness and willingness to help is out of this world. Big smiles and helping hands at every turn. The lodge has stunning views of the mountain and valley right... More

Highlight of trip, peaceful place. Our room (6) was incredibly spacious, breakfast and dinner delightful, sleek pool great eating areas. I can see how odd folk could find fault with the service. I actually found each and every member of staff to be 100% welcoming and friendly, you did really have to ask for most things, but when you did,... More

This is an idyllic remote way to experience Addo - hard to get to but worth the view and experience. The staff is excellent , food delicious and the ranger Mike is a fount of information about the natural environment. It is the best combination of comfort and luxury, peaceful and romantic but not over the top. More
