Garden Route Game Lodge

We drove 4 hours last Monday from Cape Town to Albertinia where we stayed the night at the Garden Route Game Lodge. This was by far the most expensive of our accomodation but for about SGD300 we got one night's stay, dinner, breakfast and 2 game drives. It was also by far the nicest place we went to and we throughly enjoyed it. The room, the service and the food were excellent.





The view was wonderful! It was so beautiful. Very low vegetation, not many trees or tall bushes. The native vegetation in that area is all low and bushy.



Sophie enjoyed bathing in the long bath.



Our meals were held in a 'Boma' - sort of like a large hut with a thatched roof made out of reeds. The food was cooked (or maybe just warmed up) on traditional large African pots on coals. Sophie got to sit in this high chair which attaches to the table with hippos on the handles! At dinner time, Sophie was asleep in the room so they set up a table for us just outside our room so we could get our food from the buffet in the nearby Boma and sit outside the room where we could hear her if she woke.
