파운더스 로지 바이 만티스

I don’t usually write reviews but I had to with this stay. I can’t put into words how amazing our last few days with Founders was. From the moment we arrived the staff made us feel like family and nothing could be faulted. Their attention to detail was outstanding and the views from our lodge were so beautiful that it bought tears to our eyes. We saw so many wonderful animals which we will miss seeing everyday. The guides have such a passion, knowledge and love for the animals which made our stay even more special. The food was incredible every time, we felt like we were in a dream. By far the best holiday we have ever had. We can’t wait to return. You will not want to leave!!!

Absolutely perfect, in every possible way! The food was heaven, the rooms spotless and charming, the game drivers were incredible! It truly felt like every single person in this lodge wanted us to have a good time, from the staff, to the managers to our amazing guides (James and Yuval were the best)! Everything was perfect. The views during our lunches, how they always cared to attend all our wishes. Amazing! Can highly recommend!!!

Everything about our 3 night stay at Founders Lodge was exceptional……. We fitted in 6x 3 hour game drives, and got to see so many animals ,in their natural habitat. James,our guide was brilliant . He even managed to find a cheetah for us on our final drive! The welcomes on arrival, and after each game drive were really nice. And the hot towel and different drink to welcome us back from each drive added to the staff’s genuine greetings. The food was just extraordinary- so varied , plentiful and delicious. It was the only place we ever stayed , where there was a large cooked breakfast menu, and a different set of cooked breakfast menu choices each day.! The hide viewing area was an extra treat. We got to see rhinos , giraffes, and zebras up close at the Founders watering hole. That was in addition to our 6 x 3 hr safari drives! And the view from our room was so good, that as soon as we opened the curtains in the morning, we got to see animals at the watering hole . Thank you for making our stay so perfect. Margo & John

Just arrived back home after spending 3 nights at Founders Lodge. We want to thank Craig and Glynnis for a tremendous time and helping us make memories from our first (but not last!!) safari. Here are some of the highlights: genuine warm welcome and lovely greetings after every game drive- Craig and Glynnis were really interested in our drive experiences and couldn’t do enough to ensure we had the best stay. Founders ensure you get the same Ranger for all of your game drives- we were so lucky to have Scrumbo (sp?) for 6 game drives- this meant that we got to know each other and he was able to tailor each drive so that we got to see all the animals- one time we asked to see Hippos and within 30 minutes we had tracked them. He was also knowledgeable about the fauna and flora- loved that he used a bird calling app to attract the bird life. The lodge is great iwth some unqiue features- you can eat out and be within metres of rhino, zebra and warthogs. The ”Hide” esnured we saw animals close up drinking out of the water hole- unreal! The food was delicious and very varied- we loved that we could have an intimate dinner in different aspects fo the house (terrace, library, bar, lawn) but also have a group dinner (a Brae- delicious bbq) in which we were lucky to have some real laughs with other guests that night. Beetroot and Rocket from the lodge garden- great food! We stayed in the honeymoon pod that has unreal views and amazing sunset rises. we really liked the colonial decor and interesting photos and books dottred around the lodge- the sunken bar is huge. We highly recommend this place- we are very fussy travellers so we really appreciated the attention to detail that ALL the staff provided. Thank you all.

We had a really fantastic 3 night stay at Founders Lodge. The staff were all, without exception, outstanding, welcoming and friendly. It truly felt they were all passionate about the property and the service provided. Our guide on the game drives, Juvan, was outstanding. His knowledge of,and passion for, the animals really shone through. He really went out of his way to make each game drive a brilliant and memorable experience. Our room was super, with a view over to the waterhole and hide. Waking up to views of a passing giraffe or rhino is definitely memorable. Founders Lodge is highly recommended.

Second to none - Founder’s Lodge has been absolutely wonderful. Craig and Glynnis are just the best hosts. Service is personalised and personable. Food was delicious. Your experience really matters to them. The guiding was terrific and we saw Lions, Giraffes, Black Rhino, White Rhino, Warthogs, Impala, Springbok, Kudu, Buck, Zebra, Mongoose, Gennet and much more. Watch the animals from your bedroom as they visit the waterhole. Beautiful pool overlooking the waterhole. Enjoy a Braai/Barbeque with other guests. With over 28,000 hectares there’s a huge expanse of land and animals for you to discover. We cannot recommend Founders highly enough.
