Rooms and Tents

ParkView Safari Lodge offers tented accommodation, deluxe suites, and a self-catering chalet. Tents come with two bedrooms, huge beds, a shower and a roll-top bath, plus a private terrace with views of Addo Park. Deluxe suites are spacious with garden views. The chalet (Kudu) includes a full kitchen and a patio. All units feature private bathrooms, air conditioning, and satellite TV. Some tents have no TV, encouraging nature immersion.

Dining Options

A continental breakfast is served daily, often poolside. The restaurant offers evening meals, including pizza, kids' meals, and special diet menus upon request. Guests can also order wine or champagne. A bar on-site serves drinks, and there are BBQ facilities with outdoor fireplace and picnic area. Packed lunches can be arranged for safari days.

On-Site Facilities

The property has an outdoor swimming pool with a shallow end, pool towels, and sun loungers. A children's playground and kids' outdoor play equipment are available. Guests can play darts or board games in the shared lounge. Game drives can be organized through the tour desk. Massages (back, foot, neck) are offered. The garden hosts antelope, wildebeest, springboks, and other wildlife roaming freely.

Location & Access

The lodge is 1 km from the south entrance of Addo Elephant National Park. St Croix Island Marine Reserve is 19 km away, and Sundays River Boat Launch and Picnic is 4.2 km. Port Elizabeth International Airport is 45 km from the property. Free parking and accessible parking are available. An airport shuttle can be arranged.

Guest Services

Services include 24-hour security, key access, and security alarm. Concierge, express check-in/check-out, luggage storage, and private check-in/check-out are provided. Daily housekeeping, laundry, and ironing are offered. The lodge has facilities for disabled guests and non-smoking rooms. Board games, a shared lounge/TV area, and a tour desk are also available.

“Parkview Safari Lodge truly captures an "Out of Africa" ambiance, particularly within its luxurious tents that provide an immersive bush experience with remarkable comfort and privacy. The lodge's proximity to Addo Elephant Park is a distinct advantage, yet it's the presence of resident wildlife on the grounds and the exceptional, personal service from the staff that make a stay here feel genuinely special.”
