COVID -19 HAPPY JACKAL SAFETY MEASURES TAKEN
We are ready to welcome you!!
All the Protocols regarding safety is not new to us, as we have always been very cautious about safety and hygiene for all our guests and ourselves.
Yet, we have improved in many areas, and we are all good with the PPE (Safety equipment).
Happy Jackal awaits your booking, so that you can come and stay as safe as possible in social distancing, yet have the time of your life at our beautiful establishment.
Big Five Game Viewing on our doorstep makes the Happy Jackal the perfect choice of luxurious accommodation. This river lodge lies on the banks of the beautiful Sundays River, only 2 km from the Addo Elephant National Park, and as close as ten minutes away from a selection of prestigious private game reserves. Easily reached from the N2 , it is in the perfect spot for game, coastal or river activities.
Experience a game drive, in our vehicle, with our own qualified and experienced game ranger on a full day safari.
Extensive lawns stretch down to the Happy Jackal jetty while unspoilt bush is the habitat of Kudu, Bushbuck and Goliath Herons on the opposite banks. Port Elizabeth and its airport is only half an hour away and in the opposite direction the historic, university town of Grahamstown would take the traveller a mere 45 minutes.
We offer a choice of 6 luxurious, en-suite rooms, 5 of which enjoy stunning river views. Guests may choose from ground floor rooms opening onto private patios and the river bank or impressively large thatched upstairs rooms, one of which has its own thatched deck. Breakfasts cater to all tastes and include both a full English and health breakfast. Home-made jams and preserves and bread freshly baked are to be found on the breakfast table each morning.
We will plan and book your game drives, safaris and boat trips, offering guidance and suggestions to ensure your stay is a memorable one.

Reviews
I know it is not the norm as a new Lodge Manageress to write a review, but in this instance it is, as I have been to many Lodges in my lifespan. I rate this Lodge as the Top in Colchester, which is situated 2 minutes away from the Southern Gate of the Addo Elephant National Park. Not just that here is an Open Game Viewer and a world class Ranger, but for the hospitality one receives right from arrival to check out. Breakfast is a story on it's own, as the owners, Peter bakes a homemade loaf of Bread for each table daily while Liz ensure you enjoy her own home made Jam, with a scrumptious warm Breakfast.
The warmth and quality accommodation one receives at Happy Jackal makes me a proud member of Staff to greet the guests, ensure they enjoy their stay and knowing we are part of their great memories!
Perfect place to go to the Addo park!
We stayed in the cottages and were invited for breakfast in the main building!
This how they are at Happy Jackal, the most friendly people with the most amazing breakfast. Included homemade jam and fresh bread just coming out of the oven!
Included best entertaining and laughing!
Thanks a lot! Was a pleasure to stay with you!
Peter and Liz are very helpful and great hosts, the location is perfect, breakfast is delicious (especially the bread ) and the bed very comfy. Only thing that is not quite working is the TV. So if you don't plan on watching any then you re fine :)
Overall it was a great stay
Peter and his wife a lovely couple, let you feel at home at arrival, provides a excellent breakfast (with homecooked bread). Can improve on the maintenance of their garden though.

Addo Reviews
The quad biking and river safari.
Addo elephants are an experience not to be missed.
I loved the safe roads and the animals, especially the elephants.I also liked the nice shop to buy memorabilia.I also stayed close by at Avoca and this was five star treatment.I loved the tranquility and good host Riaan.
What an amazing haven to unwind and relax. Everything is Eco friendly and the staff are living examples of this. All the food was organic and delicious. The rooms are clean and comfy, The natural pool was beautiful and the location is close to the Addo Elephant National Park. We would definitely come back! Thank you for our amazing stay🙏
Beautiful scenery and very peaceful.
The animals are not scared of the vehicles travelling near them. We experienced some real magic moments in Addo.
