Overview & Comments

In a malaria free area, The Colonial is just 15 minutes from the Addo Elephant Park, and close to many other private game reserves which offer the day guest the Big Five right on our doorstep. Conor is a qualified and experienced guide, who arranges private day trips in an air-conditioned Land Rover into the Addo Elephant Park. These trips incorporate the historical and cultural aspects of the area, besides the obvious encounters with the pachyderms and other animals.

During the month of October, the valley hosts the world famous Addo Rose Day.
