Following a recommendation from a friend we booked two nights in the Ambassador Suite. We had a great time, you couldn’t help but relax as you walked through the door. Game drives with Johannes were the particular highlight, he was extremely knowledgeable, caring and accommodating remembering the things we were interested in and making sure we got full enjoyment from our experience. We learnt so much from him and laughed plenty too. There were a couple of tiny issues we raised and the team went above and beyond to resolve them for us. We would absolutely return, it’s such a bonus it’s easily drivable from Cape Town so no need to fly off.

OK, so travelling the last few miles from Cape Town, a few doubts might just creep in. No phone signal, no tarmac, we wondered…. But, boy, were we wrong. It’s literally an oasis - surrounded on all sides by spectacular mountains, with huge, clear skies and a delightful set up. Amazing, attentive staff, lovely rooms (go large!), great food (wine too) - all this before we even mention the wildlife. ‘Guaranteed’ to see the big 5 was a big promise, delivered with ease. We saw them on every trip, led by our brilliant, sympathetic driver (Prosper) who knows and loves the place in equal measures. A delightful 2 days I’d recommend to anyone, hand on heart.

Inverdoon challenges (and indeed exceeds) international precedents with their charismatic hospitality and peace. It is such a privilege to watch a conservation effort come together so beautifully, and meticulous attention paid to guest satisfaction and peace of mind (and actual quiet - the likes of which you'll scarcely believe). Certainly, by far and away, the premier game reserve experience of South Africa, and an absolute return-destination, as I'm confident all guests would agree. My humble gratitude for the experience!

Just a few hours out of CapeTown, this is the perfect mini-safari experience for those short on time. We went as a group of 3 and had a wonderful time. A special shout out to Arshlee, our guide. He was fun, personable and really wanted to give you a good experience. Spent the extra time looking for the animals. We paid extra for the Cheetah Experience and it was well worth it. The caretaker is really lovely and we got to see the Cheetahs up close. The star gazing was included, although the particular evening we went, seemed like our guide was a bit frustrated with group not paying attention to her lesson. Everyone is tired at the end of the day, guests and guides alike, so perhaps a more chill approach would be more appropriate. I had a wonderful in-room massage, the food was lovely and anything you requested from staff would be accommodated. I do wish they had a morning coffee bar in the lobby for those skipping morning game drives but would def reccomend and come back.

Big shout out to Ashlee Nyoni who was our wildlife guide for two outings into the bush, a truly professional and knowledgeable teacher and lover of animals. We saw all of the best animals in the reserve and I was the luckiest to see for the first time, and to point out to him, the first ever sighting of a newborn baby hippo, December 16, 2023. I shall celebrate it's birthday every year! Inverdoorn was a great experience and I would recommend it for anyone with just a short time to go into the wild...

Absolutely enchanting safari experience! The lodge seamlessly blends luxury with the untamed beauty of the wild. Our expert guide, Shanay, showed us an array of wildlife, ensuring each game drive is a breathtaking adventure. Accommodations are not only comfortable but also provide an authentic connection to nature. Exceptional service, delectable cuisine, and sunset views that will leave you in awe. Worth every penny for an unforgettable safari getaway.

An amazing safari and a wonderful stay. Excellent staff, superior rooms, wonderful surroundings and terrific safari guide. Shannae was such a great guide/ranger!! We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this for an overnight stay and safari. We saw sooo many animals, very close. Excellent value for the experience!!

We absolutely loved it there. We mixed up our reservations and the manager Storm was extremely accommodating to get us a room. The resort is beautiful, peaceful, and the views are unbelievable The staff is excellent- friendly and very helpful. The rangers that took us on the game drives were very knowledgeable about the area, vegetation and animals I can’t say enough about the resort!

Our first safari and we really enjoyed it. The food was delicious, home cooked and healthy, the resort was beautiful and relaxing. A nice distance away from the city hustle and bustle. The morning and evening game drives are great. We got to see a load of animals on each drive. The lions are kept separate at the moment as they are waiting for the ostrich population to grow before they are released into the main reserve. But that way you get to find them easily and take great photos. They have a special area for rescued cheetahs that they are preparing to hunt so they can be released too. You get to see elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, rhinos, hippos, lions, ostriches, wildebeest, antelopes, springboks and more. The night time star viewing is spectacular. Recommend it. The staff are lovely and very helpful. Overall we loved it and recommend as a first time safari. Perhaps if you have done other safaris it’s not as big an area and maybe not for you.

What a wonderful place! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - the game drives, food, accomodation and staff were all fab! In particular, our guide, Arshlee was brilliant! He is warm hearted, humorous and a wealth of knowledge who made sure we had a great experience. Arshlee is also the guide who does the night time star experience - so interesting! Arshlee made us feel very safe and ensured we saw 4 of the Big 5 at close quarters as well as so many other animals. Would highly recommend this game reserve.
