Detailed Reviews
We got to see the animals at close range, they are so majestic. We enjoyed the tranquility, just what we needed after the lockdown. It was such an informative and fun experience and we had the best tour guide ever, Johan. The owners and all the staff were so welcoming.

Excellent accomodation - comfortable and bush friendly. Food and service were excellent. Guide was very attentive and helpful. Game siting was very poor - felt like the reserve is under stocked. Lion enclosure a bit scary.

So nice to have this little gem on our doorstep. Took the family for some bush time and as usual we loved it. Kristi was our guide this time and was a joy. She is now my kids best friend for life app.

An outstanding place. Highly recommendable, especially for lovers of Nature. We had a truly wonderful time and Patricia was in tears as we left.
I'm not going to write any more. I'm not a person who panders to those fishing for compliments. It's enough to say that we were absolutely enthralled and sepcial thanks must be given to Willem our Guide.

It is best to visit Inkwenkwezi's website for tarriffs.
We found them reasonable, since meals and gamedrives are inclusive of their prices. You only pay extra for drinks and additional activities.
Sorry I can't answer your question. You need to contact the reserve management for the answer. I should have thought it would be on their web site. I was only a visitor for one day and had lunch there.
Inkwenkwezi is about 30 kilometers from East London, and in the time you have it may not be practical to hire a car. A taxi hire for the day could be possible, but could be expensive.
Why not contact Inkwenkwezi
by phone or on their email form which is on their website?

Good luck in getting there, the opportunity to feed the elephants is a unique personal experience.

This is what we did.
We were a family of 6 and arrived there in the morning, paid the entrance fee and were allowed to go on the next tour.
We only wanted to experience the interaction with the elephants, which included an opportunity to feed an elephant. A wonderful experience.
The website of Inkwenkwezi provides a phone number and opportunity to send email questions, if you need to do this.
