Gerald‘s Gift

Gerld's Gift Guesthouse, South River Valley

It was probably the most lovely place I stayed at in South Africa, but I was really happy that satellite-based navigation was already invented when I had to find it. Gerald’s Gift Guest House is perfect if you want to sleep close to the Addo Elephant Park and it is located in the center of a large farm producing citrus fruits. It has the most wonderful garden a hotel can have around its rooms and as it is somehow in no-man’s-land there is also a restaurant just for the guests.

Addo

Addo Elephant Park is one of South Africa’s most renowned wildlife conservation areas, famous for its large population of African elephants. The park, which spans over 1,640 square kilometers, offers a unique opportunity to observe these majestic creatures in their natural habitat, with over 600 elephants calling the park home. Aside from elephants, Addo is a haven for a wide variety of other wildlife, including the Big Five (elephants, lions, leopards, buffaloes, and rhinos).
