"You’re right on the edge of the best reserve in the area & the game drives are all on the Shamwari Game Reserve. These are better than we ever expected & our ranger/guide, Cillia, was the best! Daniel at the Lodge managed everything for us & was always there for our needs, nothing was too much trouble & he ensured everything ran like clockwork. Cynthia was brilliant, always smiling and calm, Ntombi was also excellent and helped us with our questions about local culture. Overall superb!"

"The Woodberry was in a tranquil location in the reservation. The safari drives were good with knowledgeable trackers and the apres safari drinks around the fire was a nice touch. The lodges were spacious and comfortable and the staff were friendly. It's a shame wifi is not available in the lodges. The only disappointment for us was the food.

Thankfully we followed in a truck and they could hear the honk at the closer gate. The receptionist was very nice. The lodge that we stayed in was spacious but the floors were dirty and the bathtub needed to be run a while to get past the dirt in the pipes.

When is the best time to go to Blue Crane Route?
The most popular time to visit the Blue Crane Route is from September to November, during the spring season in South Africa. This period offers mild temperatures ranging from the mid-60s to low 70s Fahrenheit, creating a comfortable environment for outdoor activities such as hiking and birdwatching, especially as the region is home to the magnificent Blue Crane, South Africa's national bird.

As you plan your trip, keep in mind that the peak tourist season typically occurs during December and January, coinciding with the summer holidays. This time attracts many visitors eager to explore the stunning landscapes, charming towns, and diverse wildlife that the Blue Crane Route has to offer. The vibrant flora and fauna during spring make it a fantastic time for sightseeing, with wildflowers blooming and birds in full display, ensuring an enriching experience.

For those who seek a quieter experience, considering a visit in late spring, particularly November, can be advantageous. With fewer crowds, you can enjoy the same breathtaking scenery and activities at a more leisurely pace, allowing for intimate moments with nature.
Where can I find the best nightlife in Blue Crane Route?

If you're seeking a more extensive nightlife experience, you might consider traveling slightly further to nearby Port Elizabeth, where a wider array of bars, clubs, and entertainment venues can be found.
