RiverBend Lodge is a mere 45 minutes from Port Elizabeth and offers guests an incredible African Safari experience with easy access. Guests can enjoy a personalized game drive with their own ranger at the wheel interpreting this extremely diverse environment. Drives can go deep into the mountains and guests will discover varying vegetation from thick forested valleys, open savannah plains to hillsides rich in Fynbos.

Guests have the option to enjoy a choice of accommodation at Riverbend Lodge, Luxury suites, Executive suites or the Honeymoon suite, depending on the occasion. All the suites are luxuriously decorated and are all en-suite. The region is well known for its warm hospitality and Riverbend portrays this at its best. Riverbend will offer guests an unforgettable experience as they teach guests all about the history of this revitalized wilderness. Riverbend is a personal experience, dedicated to the conservation and rehabilitation of Africa's natural world.

Long Hope Villa

Riverbend also offers the exclusive-use Long Hope Villa for families of four or more, who can enjoy total privacy and a true home-away-from-home experience. Three en-suite rooms accommodate a maximum of six guests and the Villa comes complete with a private chef and personal guide. The beautiful farmhouse kitchen encourages interaction between the guests and the chef. If guests would like to enjoy a traditional South African Braai the outdoor area at the Villa offers this opportunity, alternatively one can dine al fresco, under the stars. The path leads through the indigenous garden to the swimming pool, which is a welcome retreat from a hot summer's day. Located a short stroll away from the Villa, the sunset deck offers a wonderful break for a lazy afternoon relaxing on the day-beds or in the hammocks. Sipping cocktails, lying back and relaxing as you watch another magnificent sunset on a splendid African day.
