Staying at Casart was such a treat for us. The staff was amazing and the owner really helpful. We especially enjoyed the pool + terrace with amazing view over the bush. The game drives with ranger Happy were definitely the biggest highlight for us. He was so passionate, his enthusiasm was contagious. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Wow this was a 5 star experience! In the middle of the bush you will find the Casart Game Lodge so you get the full experience being in nature. Great bed, big bathroom and very clean. Sonia and her amazing team were very helpful, welcoming and just great! From the pool looking out over the bush we saw a large herd of Elephants drinking water - insain!!! Also during our Game Drives organised by Happy we saw a lot and great to here all about the bush and the animals that lived there from a very experienced Ranger 5 stars! The food was very tasteful and creative table design made all the difference. Thank you guys when we can we will be back!

Dies war unser vierter Aufenthalt in der Casart Game Lodge in den letzten 10 Jahren... und mit Sicherheit (wieder) nicht der Letzte! Die Casart Game Lodge ist eine Perle im afrikanischen Busch. Südafrika von seiner schönsten Seite. Sonia und Ihr ganzes Team haben dafür gesorgt, dass wir wieder eine unvergessliche Woche hier verbringen durften. Hier stimmt wirklich alles! 2 wunderschöne Rondavels mit eigenem Whirlpool auf der Terrasse. Von den Rondavels blick auf das Wasserloch der Lodge. Totale Privatsphäre. Ein wunderschöner Bereich mit Restaurant, schönem, gepflegten Pool, toller Poolterrasse mit Blick auf das Wasserloch und die afrikanische Tierwelt. Das Essen ist fantastisch! Die Auswahl an Getränken (zu sehr fairen Preisen!) lässt keine Wünsche offen. Sehr gutes WLAN in allen Bereichen der Lodge (auch am Rondavel). Alles ist in einem hervorragenden Zustand und top gepflegt! Die Game-Drives mit unserem Ranger Happy im Grietjie Private Nature Reserve (in dessen Herzen sich die Casart Game Lodge befindet) waren fantastisch. Erlebnisse und Eindrücke die wir unser ganzes Leben nicht vergessen werden.. Thank you Happy!!!! Lust auf einen "typischen Urlaubstag" in der Casart Game Lodge? Bitteschön... ;-) 05.00 Uhr: aufstehen! Einen Kaffee aus der sich im Rondavel befindlichen Nespresso Maschine auf der eigenen Terrasse. Die Sonne geht auf über dem afrikanischen Busch... Die vielen Vögel sind schon aktiv und deutlich wacher als ich. Das Impala, das 5 Meter vor dem Rondavel vorbei läuft auch.. ;-) 05.30 Uhr: Start zum Morning Drive mit Happy unserem Ranger. Ca. 3 Stunden Erlebnis im offenen Safarifahrzeug einschließlich einer Pause am Fluss. Happy hat alles dabei.. einschließlich einer guten Tasse heißen Kaffee... wer will, auch Kaffee "ranger-style" (Kaffee mit einem Schuss Amarula... fantastisch!) 08.30 Uhr: Rückkehr zur Lodge. 09:00 Uhr: gemütliches Frühstück im offenen Restaurant... den einen oder anderen Blick Richtung Wasserloch riskieren... Vielleicht sind ja die Elefanten schon da.. 10:30 Uhr: Relaxen auf der Sonnenterasse. Die ca. 300 Fotos vom morgendlichen Game Drive "sichten" und die 10 schönsten davon über WhatsApp nach Hause schicken... natürlich mit dem "Vermerk", dass die Sonne von einem wolkenlosen Himmel scheint und es um 11.30 Uhr schon 30 Grad im Schatten hat. Diese Info kommt Zuhause in Deutschland immer sehr gut an... Mitte November. ;-) 16:00 Uhr: Start zum Evening Drive einschließlich Sundowner in der afrikanischen Wildnis mit einem guten Glas südafrikanischem Wein. 19:00 Uhr: Rückkehr zu Lodge. 19:30 Uhr: Abendessen bei Kerzenschein 20.30 Uhr: Ein Amarula auf Eis am Feuer in der Lounge auf der Lodge Terrasse. Irgendwo da hinten hört man in der Ferne die Löwen brüllen.. 21.00 Uhr: Den Tag im eigenen, 40 Grad warmen Whirlpool am Rondavel ausklingen lassen.. Na, Lust auf Afrika bekommen? Dann schnell auf die Homepage der Casart Game Lodge und buchen! :-) Hier noch ein paar Worte zum Grietjie Game Reserve. Das Grietjie

Besides the beautiful property and excellent location, what truly made our stay unforgettable were the people. Sonia gave us such a warm and heartfelt welcome, and the staff was incredibly kind, always going out of their way to make our experience enjoyable. Fikile, Agrineth, Stanford, Sharon and obviously Maxime  - Thank you!!! Special thanks for the wonderful dance lessons! :D I guess Stanford still thinks about it from time to time. Special greetings to our fellow guests from Schwabenland—you were the best company we could have asked for. A big thank you also goes to our guide, Happy, who ensured we enjoyed every moment of the three game drives. Happy, you truly lived up to your name—you made us so happy! All in all: extraordinary. We will definitely be back!

We had a great time for our second safari in South Africa! Every member of the team was very friendly and especially the game drives are a must. We got so much information about all the different animals, the stars and the nature. Thank you for making our stay perfect! See you next time!

Buitengewoon fantastisch verblijf. Kleinschalig qua grootte maar luxueus en groots wat betreft comfort, vriendelijkheid, ligging en activiteiten. De bungalow geeft je zalige privacy in de bush, met een uitkijk op het waterhol. De dieren komen tot op 2meter van je privé-terras. Het dek is ideaal gelegen, op een heuvel met verzicht en nabij het waterhol, waar de dieren af en aan komen drinken. Het personeel is vriendelijk en professioneel. Ze zorgen er voor dat je je echt thuis vult. Het afrikaans menu is lekker en gul. Het ontbijt is gevarieerd en overvloedig. Sonja, de eigenares is echt begaan met haar klanten en zal tot het uiterste gaan om je van dienst te zijn en je comfortabel te voelen. Zo heb ik een vervelende allergie en vroeg ik haar hiermee rekening te houden. Ze bekijkt de mogelijkheid om het allergievrij te maken tot de puntjes en eens haar fiat gegeven, wordt alles perfect uitgevoerd om zonder zorgen te kunnen verblijven. Het was tot in de puntjes verzorgd, waardoor ik in alle rust kon genieten van de omgeving, de prachtige lodge en de dieren. Ze is ook niet voor een mopje verlegen, wat het verblijf nog leuker maakt. Sonja is vriendelijk, grappig maar ook kordaat. Een perfecte mix om als een prinses te kunnen verblijven in haar prachtige lodge. Gamedrives met Happy, de gids zijn eveneens een verrijking. Ook al ben je een vaste afrika-ganger met al heel wat kennis over de dieren, toch leer je nog wat van hem bij. Ook hij is supervriendelijk en heeft eveneens humor. Kortom we genoten van ons verblijf in the middle of the bush met grote luxe en een prachtige eigenares en super staff ! Dank u !

We had a great time for our first safari in South Africa where we spent 2 nights at Casart Game Lodge. We were warmly welcomed and soon went to relax in our room’s private jacuzzi with a bottle of champagne. What a perfect way to start our honeymoon. The staff took great care of us throughout our stay. The place is simply spectacular. We particularly appreciated the view from the terrace as well as our room, very cozy and intimate, all in a typical decor. We were in total immersion. The meals served to us were delicious, a fine dining experience. Our guide, Happy, took us on extraordinary game drives within the reserve. In addition to his kindness, his passion for his job makes you feel like you are living an adventure. Our only regret is not having spent more nights at Casart. We leave South Africa with unforgettable memories. Thank you again to Sonia and all the staff.

Immersion totale dans le Bush au coeur de la Grietjie reserve. Nous avons vécu une expérience inoubliable, exclusive, parfaite. Le lodge est luxueux et confortable, tout équipé. Les repas sont délicieux, faits maison et raffinés. Nous avions booké le pack safari et nous avions donc 3 Game drive de prévus avec un guide expérimenté et passionnant. Nous étions au plus proche de la nature et des animaux, dans un cadre confortable, avec une prise en charge parfaite. Nous avons appris tant de choses sur le Bush et les animaux qui y vivent grâce à notre guide, Happy. Coup de cœur absolu
