Area Information:

*Hitgeheim Country Lodge is well situated in the Eastern Cape which features one of the best climates in the country and is close to the well-known Addo Elephant Park and other Big 5 Game Reserves.

*The name Hitgeheim is derived from our surname Hitge - "Home or place of the Hitge Family" - German, in Dutch it's known as "Big Secret", hence Addo's luxurious secret. The Hitge family relocated to Addo from Oudtshoorn in 1990 and purchased this 238-hectare property of pristine Uitenhage Bushveld in 1999 with the vision of developing an exclusive thatched lodge.

*It took them nearly two years to finalize the building plans and another two years to complete the first 4 of the now 8 chalets. During their final year of construction, they started training local unemployed people in the hospitality industry.

The most successful candidates were employed by Hitgeheim Country Lodge. This led to more in-house training courses at Hitgeheim.

*The Hitge family prides themselves on putting something back into the community through training and supporting local charity organisations. Hitgeheim Country Lodge opened its doors in October 2003 and the rest is history.

As a part of our Honeymoon we went for a retreat at Hitgeheim lodge. Archie and all his staff were exeptional hosts! The view from the restaurant and the beutifully furnished rooms were unbelievable. Unlucky for us we went in the height of summer and one day it reach 41 degrees celsius thankfully the room was airconditionned and we enjoyed our stay even inthe extreme heat! WE will most definitely go back and enjoy their very tasty menu from the restaurant!
we highly recommend the scotio tooth and claw safari it truly was a treat and waiting at the lodge was a cup of lovely hot chocolate before we fell sublimely to sleep!

Superb. 5 out of 5

The animals are not scared of the vehicles travelling near them. We experienced some real magic moments in Addo.
