Tranquility, luxury and exquisite cuisine describe the gracious living at the River Bend Lodge in the Eastern Cape.

River Bend Lodge, situated within the recently opened 17 000 hectare Nyati Private Concession of the Addo Elephant National Park, is a mere 70 kms from Port Elizabeth. The lodge consists of eight luxuriously appointed double suites with inter-leading rooms for families, and which look out onto boundless horizons and the magnificent Zuurberg mountains.

This is Africa at its best - a perfect balance between the Eastern Cape bush and the sheer elegance of fine country life in a malaria-free zone. Activities include tailor-made Big Game viewing drives or alternative wildlife experiences with professional field guides, day trips to historic Grahamstown and easy access to the fabulous Garden Route.

For those who prefer to just relax, there's tea and delicious cakes in the beautiful gardens alongside the sparkling swimming pool or pure indulgence at the Vitality Studio - a flawless ritual for reviving flagging spirits.
