Stunning! Words are not enough to describe this luxurious lodge near the national park. We loved every moment and out of the 10 days in South Africa these two days were the best!! Mike's game drive was amazing and my eyes filled up when I saw my first wild elephant just a metre away from me!!! Service was impeccable here... More

I recently stayed at Camp Figtree and cannot recommend this lodge enough! The cottages are large and beautifully appointed. The staff literally waits on you hand and foot and are extremely willing to help out in any situation. The food was excellent! Mike, the manager and game driver is an excellent tour guide and knows how to find the animals... More

Beautiful colonial spot at the top of Zuurberg.I have to commend all the staff on their friendly, efficient service. we were unlucky with the weather-rain and mist- so we will undoubtedly be back to appreciate the spectacular views that we briefly saw on the morning of our departure. my only disappointment was that there wasn't a raging log fire at...

We recently stayed at Camp Figtree with our two boys (4 year old and 21 month old). As the title suggests, Camp Figtree, really is heavenly! From the freshly baked muffins in the morning to the tasty homemade soup in the evening, sitting next to roaring log fires or enjoying the breathtaking view from the "stoep", this is the place...

Nice spot within the bushlands of Addo. We enjoyed the view and the pool a lot. The friendly stuff is helpful and well organised. The game drive was good. Also the meals where ok. Our room was a cottage style house pretty big with its own terrace and pool. minus: all guests where pretty old and the whole ambience was... More

Whilst the journey up to Camp Figtree takes a little longer than anticipated, this is mainly due to the mountain roads and fantastic location of the accommodation. There are genuinely uninterrupted views across valleys and onto mountains in the one direction and all the way to Port Elizabeth in the other direction. The sunsets are exquisite but we didn't make... More

Arrived after 12km gravel road and 2km private adventurous road at an amazing location! This is a real stunning and remote place to stay. 3 types of rooms: superior, superior boardwalk and luxury. Superior ok without view to valley, superior boardwalk little better but feels little let down, luxury is MUCH better for +150R pppn. Great view and private balcony,... More

We found this on tripadvisor. after a couple of days in the main Addo camp, we wanted to see the Zuurberg section and Fig Tree seemed well placed for this. you dont need a 4xx4 but care is needed in a standard car as the track is bumpy. the historical connection with Percy Fitzpatrick, explained to us by the Maitre...

This was our second stay at camp fig tree and truly it is a special place with stunning views and exceptionally well decorated interiors both in the rooms and entertainment lodge. Each room is different but special. The ambiance is african colonial style mixed with all the extras you need. The staff treated us like kings with a fantastic supper.This... More
