About us

Kuzuko Lodge - A Canopy of a Million Stars The Addo Elephant National Park lies hidden within the cavernous bushveld of the Eastern Cape. It is here where the evening’s silence is broken by the howl of the black-backed jackal and the francolins’ call heralds each new dawn. With uninterrupted views of the Karoo Plains and the Zuurberg Mountains, Kuzuko Lodge lies in a private concession to the north of the Addo Elephant National Park, the third largest national park in South Africa in a malaria-free region. Kuzuko boasts state of the art conference facilities for up to 48 delegates. Guests are housed in 24 luxurious chalets, each with a private deck offering spectacular views of the malaria free Karoo bushveld of the big five park below.

Local Attractions

Kuzuko Interpretive Centre

The Kuzuko Interpretive Centre houses historical artefacts, animal artistry representative of the smaller animals found in the reserve and information about the history of the Kuzuko reserve. This centre aims to educate guests and offer exciting insight into the history of our segment of the Karoo.

Wild Cheetah Experience

While enjoying unique photo opportunities, guests are left in awe as they spend time within close proximity of these impressively aloof predators. An additional fee will be charged for this activity on behalf of the Kuzuko Foundation for Wildlife Rehabilitation.

Cosmic safaris

The African sky comes alive as night falls over ‘the place of glory’. While they may be light years away, the heavenly bodies seem close enough to touch as Kuzuko offers some of the best stargazing in Africa. The trained game rangers trade their binoculars for laser pointers as they guide you through galaxies, pointing out stars, planets, moons and other astral bodies through the lodge’s eight-inch stargazing telescope. This uniquely exclusive activity offers the magical experience of viewing not just the majestic wild animals at the lodge, but also the glory of the mystical sky above the lodge.

Khoisan Cultural Exploration

At Kuzuko we believe that preserving cultural heritage is just as important as preserving our natural surroundings. As such, we are proud to provide guided walks where visitors can examine Khoisan rock paintings that are approximately 400 years old. These ancient rock paintings are situated outside the main reserve on a 1,500 acre Educational Reserve. This area is stocked with non-dangerous game and forms a large part of our community conservation education component. Medium fitness required. All ages welcome.

Nature Walks

This walk is intended to provide guests with the freedom to explore the unique landscape and its natural fauna and flora with a ranger in an area where there are no Big 5 animals. Enjoy tails of the Karoo's delicate ecosystem as this 15,000 hectares reserve unfolds. During a morning Bush Walk you can expect to experience the Karoo up close.Giraffes may be encountered. All ages welcome.

Conservation

A uniquely situated Private Game Reserve with a strong holistic creation care approach. Projects: Fauna Conservation – Wilding & rehabilitation projects Land Rehabilitation – Erosion control Spekboom cultivation & unique Karoo vegetation Buffalo Breeding Project Sustainable Community upliftment – Youth Employment & Kuzuko Foundation

Ashia Cheetah Wilding and Release Program

Ashia, a world-class cheetah centre accredited by Fair Trade Tourism, is situated near Cape Town in South Africa’s Western Cape. Founded in 2016 to help prevent the further decline of wild cheetah populations and to increase their gene pool through captive-born animals, Ashia started the Wilding and Release Program mid 2018 in cooperation with Kuzuko Lodge (www.kuzuko.com), a 15,000 ha private game reserve in the greater Addo area, Eastern Cape. Thanks to Kuzuko’s dedicated and extremely versed wilding team, led by Reserve General Manager Gerhard de Lange, several captive born cheetahs have successfully been wilded and released within the Cheetah Metapopulation, coordinated by the Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT).
