Hopewell Private Game Reserve

Private game reserve in South Africa’s beautiful Eastern Cape hosts up to 12 guests only in stylish, secluded suites with sweeping views over a reclaimed Eden. Waking up to the sounds and sights of the African bush, sundowners above the elephants’ favourite watering hole, relaxing in a secluded private pool overlooking the bush, and sumptuous dinners under the stars provide the memories that linger long after your stay at Hopewell. Passionate and experienced rangers guide guests through the rolling landscape, ever willing to stop and discuss plants, insects, birds and game spotted along the way. Guests are likely to encounter our herd of elephant, along with hippo, giraffe, zebra, buffalo, antelope and other indigenous species carefully introduced to maintain a balanced eco-system.
