Reviews
Mini paradise
The safaris were awesome and our guides where great, they really cared for our experience and had a passion for their job. It was like you were in your own wee bubble here- a mini paradise and an experience my wife and I will never forget. Thank you for the memories
Great place to explore Addo
If you would like to see more than Addo Elegant Park, it’s a perfect place in Greater Addo, especially with kids!
Outstanding Lodge
Warm, welcoming and excellent attention detail made our stay at Kuzuko great. The food was outstanding, and every member of staff made us feel so welcome. While there are Big 5 animals on the property, this is not the only reason you would go there. If however, you are looking for a quiet place of natural beauty, combined with all the spoils, Kuzuko is highly recommended.
Kuzuko Lodge impact highlights
In 2002, when the Kuzuko project was initiated, the local area faced an unemployment rate exceeding 70%, and the deteriorated, arid farmland offered limited job opportunities. Uncommon for a private game reserve, the decision to establish Kuzuko was straightforward—it was deemed the most effective way to generate employment and income for the region, given the land and climate.
While social objectives remain integral to Kuzuko's identity, the reserve has evolved into much more over the past two decades, unfolding a narrative of love, conservation, and community upliftment. The restoration and rewilding of the land have proven to be enriching and empowering experiences for all involved. From witnessing elephants roam freely on the land after over 150 years to embarking on one of the world's largest reforestation projects using the quintessentially South African spekboom tree, these moments unfold regularly at Kuzuko.
Considerable strides have been made in conservation efforts, with many exciting projects on the horizon. One of their greatest pleasures is sharing the conservation and restoration journey with guests, who often express feeling rejuvenated by their experience in this special place.
