Mont Eco Game Reserve

We had an absolutely AMAZING time at Mont Eco Game Reserve. The best part was the staff - Shaun, Professor, Charlie, Pauline and all the other amazing staff were so helpful, kind and fun. They were great with out 10 month old baby, who joined us for a couple of game drives (in a baby carrier - it's bumpy!). The animals were beautiful. The hospitality was some of the best I've ever received. We look forward to taking the baby back once she's old enough to enjoy what's going on!

Mont Eco Lodge is set in beautiful surroundings, with an even more beautiful purpose: to give some of its animals a second chance at a wild life. It’s amazing to be able to support this cause, all while enjoying a slice of luxury safari (special thank you to our amazing ranger Terence, who showed us 4 of the Big Five, countless giraffes and springboks and generally made us feel like VIPs), scrumptious food (thank you, Chef Knowledge) and very attentive service (thank you Elvin and Shaun for looking after us so well). We are so blessed to have stayed at the Lodge and would recommend it for anyone who wants to experience a safari with a difference, set in the beautiful Karoo. Thank you, all! 🐘🌞🙏

What an amazing experience!! From the moment we arrived at the stunning Lodge until we sadly left. The staff was excellent and the service was 5 star! We saw 4 out of the 5 from the big five on our game drives with breathtaking views! Unforgettable experience

Mont Eco was a highlight on a road trip this winter. What a welcome and well-run oasis. Luxurious accommodation and first class meals, all lacking for nothing. The main features for me were the game viewing trips and short walks, complete with breakfast stops, sundowners, and knowledgeable and entertaining guides. All the animals could be seen really close-up including big game. The lodge staff was very friendly and took care of every need. I was traveling solo but can recommend Mont Eco as an excellent venue for couples and even families. Thank you for an exceptional experience.

As first-time visitors from the USA, Mont Eco Game Reserve exceeded our expectations in so many ways! We had the pleasure of having Charles as our guide—his knowledge about the wildlife and the land was incredible. He managed to keep us entertained with plenty of humor, making each drive not only educational but also really enjoyable. The lodge itself blew us away. You can tell a lot of care went into building it, and the fine textures and little details really stand out. It’s not something you’ll see anywhere else, and even though it’s new, it already feels like a special place. We also really appreciated the manager—his name escapes us, but it was a very South African name! Every time he saw us, he made the effort to stop and chat, which added a personal touch that made us feel right at home. The boma dinner was a great experience, although we found the manageress, Paulina, to be a bit too much. It felt a little like we were back at Chick-fil-A in the States, which was the only downside to our stay. Despite that, we had a fantastic time, and we’re already looking forward to coming back!

Pauline and her team at Mont Eco went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. As a Vegan and being very difficult when it comes to food with a long list of food sensitivities they exceeded my expectations to make sure that I was catered for with delicious plant based foods. The Accommodation & the location is out of this world, giving you time to connect with nature and to recharge your batteries. The fire place was lit at the evenings to ensure you have a warm and cozy lodge to retire to. Pauline assisted us in the middle of a cold night without hesitation when we needed assistance. I can recommend Mont Eco without any hesitation.
