Built from the weathered bones of old farmhouses, the Wildemans Lodge is a living tribute to the history, culture, and untamed beauty of the Addo Bushveld. Named after the original farm, Wildeman’s Kraal, it stands as a place of stories, echoing the footsteps of those who came before us while embracing the spirit of renewal.
Newly reimagined, the lodge blends timeless farmhouse charm with contemporary elegance, creating a sanctuary where history and modern comfort meet. Each of the 12 thoughtfully designed rooms reflects the essence of the land, offering a luxurious retreat for up to 26 guests. Here, past and present exist in harmony, inviting you to experience the Addo Bushveld in a way that is both deeply rooted and beautifully refined.
Family-Run. Rooted in South Africa.
At Wildemans, we invite you to experience what has always called us back to South Africa—the rare gift of escaping the city and re-rooting yourself in nature. We offer a true South African experience, seen through the eyes of our family and shared with you in a way that is both personal and authentic.
Expect comfort crafted to the highest standard, the flavors of our favorite foods and snacks, and the chance to step into the untouched beauty of the Addo Bushveld—all while surrounded by the relaxed luxury of our lodge.
Your stay with us is designed to feel like visiting friends in South Africa: your own private room to retreat to, breakfast, (optional) lunch, and dinner personally prepared by our talented chef, and evenings spent around the fire. We share meals over a traditional braai, where the glow of the fire, the laughter of good company, and the open African sky full of stars create an atmosphere that feels like home. South African wine, beer, snacks and traditions complete the experience.
Make yourself completely at ease—work remotely with our Wi-Fi if you need, relax in the lounge with a book, or gather around for board games with friends and family. But most of all, allow yourself to slow down, reconnect, and immerse yourself in the Addo Bushveld, experiencing life the way we know and love it: simple, warm, and unforgettable.
