100% Africa !

If you’re looking for a short break away from the stresses of everyday life, like a long weekend with friends, then I’d suggest you pay Benmore Lodge a visit. Situated on the Kei River in the Kei Mouth, this has got to be one of South Africa’s best kept holiday secrets. With wide clean beaches that are fringed with dunes that lead inland into sub-tropical bushveld and fynbos, you are one step away from whichever you choose. What I like best about this little Lodge, is that they cater for big parties, like a 21st, or a small intimate party. You don’t have to pay a fortune for good service and your guests don’t have to worry about getting back when they can just spend the night. It has something to offer the family as well, allowing children to be one with nature. It is nestled in the typical Transkei rural scenery, with scattered dwellings in the distant rolling Transkei hills. You won’t get bored when visiting BenmoreLodge, that you can be assured of, with the amazing variety of bird life to enjoy bird watching. Or game viewing with game like eland, impala, bontebok, kudu, bushbuck, wildebeest, zebra, and yes, the list does continue! Really, next time you and a bunch of friends feel like getting away for a long weekend, take advantage of the opportunity, and spend it at Benmore Lodge in the Kei Mouth on the Kei River.
