Casart Game Lodge

We had a great time for our first safari in South Africa where we spent 2 nights at Casart Game Lodge. We were warmly welcomed and soon went to relax in our room’s private jacuzzi with a bottle of champagne. What a perfect way to start our honeymoon. The staff took great care of us throughout our stay. The place is simply spectacular. We particularly appreciated the view from the terrace as well as our room, very cozy and intimate, all in a typical decor. We were in total immersion. The meals served to us were delicious, a fine dining experience. Our guide, Happy, took us on extraordinary game drives within the reserve. In addition to his kindness, his passion for his job makes you feel like you are living an adventure. Our only regret is not having spent more nights at Casart. We leave South Africa with unforgettable memories. Thank you again to Sonia and all the staff.

Great place! I’d recommend to any one of my friends and family members to come to South Africa and stay at Casart. The staff is just so nice, Happy the game drive ranger shared great knowledge with us about all the animals in the area as well as the lands and the stars. Agrineth (sorry if mispelled) and Stanford served us very well and made us feel at home! Tip for animal seekers like me and friends, do the game drive package with three drives included and also reserve one or two days to go to the Kruger National Park (1h drive to nearest gate) on a self Safari (just too good of an experience to pass)

My review is so over due! life gets crazy and just why a stay at Casart is relaxing and rejuvenating. After ten yrs , we Returned for 6 nights. Everything was as wonderful as we remembered. All the positive descriptions are accurate. Sonia is charming and thoughtful and her staff are professional and friendly. The full breakfast is satisfying. The dinners by candlelight are creative and delicious. Presentation and service - 4 star. Our ( netted ) king bed comfortable, our porch tranquil and the hot tub …perfect under the stars . Yes, expect exciting game drives and elephants at the watering hole. ..like magic. It’s not a posh place but comfortable and authentic. It was worth the long journey back to the bush and Casart.

We stayed at Casart Game Lodge for a period of 5 days, as our base for our Kruger Park game drives. This lodge is also situated in the greater Kruger park, Grietje Reservat, with open gates to the Kruger Park, with all big 5 also located in this reservat. We have been such lucky as almost all where there and some even visited the lodge, what is a great experience. Sonia the owner and her team did a perfect job in hosting us, food was great, rooms very clean and complete, the area is great. As mentioned we almost had all big 5 already at our game drive within the reservat of the lodge. Full of elephants, big group of lions, etc. We had a very great time, thanks!

From the moment we booked the hotel until we arrived home again... Everything was well thought out and very attentive. Sonia and her staff left nothing to desire. We booked the safaripackage and our guide Sammy was amazing. We learned so much from him. The room was beautiful and luxurious. The food was delicious. And the view at night with the stars was spectacular. This stay was perfect. Thank you, Sonia and thank you to your staff. Hopefully we can come back soon.

My wife and I with two friends have stayed at several private game lodges over the last 19 years and Casart was one of the most pleasant short stays we have enjoyed in the bush. Sonja is a most excellent, friendly host and has put together a wonderful support team. The location is idyllic, the rondevals are superbly appointed and so comfortable with massive beds, huge walk in Showers and a hot tub on the deck too. The meals were oout of this world - bobotie made by Sandford and a mixed grill of bush meat which would have fed another four people. Yannick, our safari guide worked so hard without much luck to find bug game but he substituted spotting with entertaining and informative briefings gs about the local flora and fauna - his bush picnic spots were excellent. So, all in all, a wonderful short break!

We loved staying here. Absolutely friendly staff, clean, quiet and safe accomodation, very good communication, awesome scenery. We enjoyed the three course meal in the evenings. Since we were just 4 guests in total we had the lodge for ourselves most of the time.

What a wonderful days at Casart Lodge in Grietjie. After a warm welcome, we were wonderfully spoiled by Sonia and her team. Eating, drinking, relaxing by the pool and not forgetting: the game drives with Happy. It can all be described in one word: quality! Thanks Sonia, thanks staff at Casart Lodge, it was a stay we will never forget.

We booked the safari special with two overnight stays and a total of 3 game drives. Happy our guide is such an incredibly nice person who was able to teach us so much about the flora and fauna in the area. We were able to spot lions every day thanks to him. His in-depth knowledge and experience are amazing. He has been a guide for 15 years and knows exactly what he is doing. We had booked the Simba bungalow at the lodge. It was furnished with great attention to detail. We even had our own jacuzzi which we used every day - wow ! Stanford took care of our physical well-being and offered us incredible service. He was always there when we needed something - just great! Sonia - the owner of the lodge - also came by and greeted us. She was super nice and helped us wherever she could. She runs the place with a lot of experience. We were in contact with each other the whole time via a WhatsApp group. This meant that we were able to coordinate daily updates and discuss details about breakfast, dinner, game drives and other matters quickly. We felt incredibly comfortable right from the start and All in all, the stay, the food, the safari experience and the service were a unique experience that we would definitely recommend to anyone We would definitely come back and were even a little sad that we had to leave after just 2 nights. Please keep up the good work and stay exactly the way you are. You are a great team - thank you for this once-in-a-lifetime experience! Much love to the whole team at Casart Lodge and Merry Christmas.
