We had a great time at Inverdoorn. We stayed for 1 night in the tankwa chalet. Our safari guide, Zulu, was very knowledgeable and managed to drive us up close to all the animals. The food was buffet style, very tasty and had a good variety. The wine list was also good. The staff were very welcoming and polite. The accomodation was clean, serviced every time we left for an activity and had everything we needed. Would thoroughly recommend for anyone looking to do a first safari, they packed a lot into 24 hours. Just make sure you arrive in a vehicle that can go over loose gravel roads.

It is simply amazing! Located deep into the Karoo, it is very a private since it does not receive day guests. Excellent staff and food, you feel pampered the whole time. The best for me was the terrace on top of the room. If you want an exclusive experience this is it. And the road from Capetown is amazing - it takes 3 hours.

really well kept lodge. The rooms are super nice and the staff friendly and accommodating. We were two vegetarians and didn’t indicate that beforehand which was no problem. We enjoyed the food and overall stay a lot! Our guide was really enthusiastic. I personally would have liked to know that the lions (+ cheetah) are kept separate beforehand, as that felt like a zoo - we didn’t read that on the website. Furthermore keeping two elephants in my opinion isn’t great. But I guess having the selling point of the big five makes a better business so I kind of understand that. Overall the service and stay was great! I am not the biggest fan of the mention aspects regarding these animals but business unfortunately also have to make money so I partially get that. Still would recommend visiting.

Inverdoorn Safari was quite the letdown, especially given the extremely high price tag. The safari itself was interesting—great guide, great animal sightings—but everything else didn't match up. The rooms? Not very clean. The food was a major flop; seriously, it was probably the worst I've ever had at any hotel. The only edible thing on the menu was boiled potatoes; everything else felt like prison grub. And the vibe was all off, too. Instead of feeling like you're in Africa, there was 1950s English music playing, adding nothing to the safari atmosphere. So, while the animals were a treat, the rest of the experience really missed the mark. Plus, outside of the few hours on safari, there's absolutely nothing to do. No bar, no music, no entertainment of any sort. Really makes it hard to see the value in the place considering the animals are caged as well (although in very, very large cages).

Arshlee was an amazing guide!! My friends and I visited back in February, and we had such a great time- especially thanks to him. His passion for wildlife was contagious! The rest of the staff were great too. Food was pretty good and there was a lot of variety. The welcome drink was a lovely touch. The rooms were spacious and nice! We just wished there had been a door on the bathroom and that the sheets could have had a better feel (they have to bring the water in from a town nearby and it’s treated- assuming this is why the sheets felt how they did).
