"Bukela is a beautiful stay, facilities are great, friendly staff and our ranger (Sim) was very knowledgeable. Foodwise is really below average, just not good especially for a 5* resort. It felt like diner was prepared during the day and heated up in the evening, just not fresh. Breakfast was really poor. Only meal that was good was the lunch. No snacks during the day. Due to this matter i will not likely to visit Bukela again nor reconmend to anyone which is regretful as the staff and facilities...

"A really lovely and relaxing place to spend a few days whilst visiting the game reserves. Very attentive staff, a large and comfy bedroom A lookout deck, pool, hammock and outdoor seating area are all lovely, and would be fabulous in warmer weather. Three course dinner (set menu) was delicious and all home-prepared on site. The dining room is also very nice, and we were seated right by the fire - very welcome in August. The shower did go cold on us twice, but I think in winter it's harder...

9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (5 reviews)
"Hopewell is potentially a stupendous destination. Accommodation was excellent and luxurious. I feel they tried too hard to provide very fancy food that did not quite come off and this could be improved. They do not have the Big 5 but there is plenty of game to see and the Ranger is excellent. This is a fantastic location for a honeymoon or just a peaceful getaway in the Eastern Cape Bush."

Beautiful little flat, well maintained and clean, gated parking and a lovely hostess. Stocked well with a continental breakfast, which we enjoyed at midnight and again in the morning... we’d not found any shops or restaurants for dinner due to the holiday. "

"From arrival to departure, the stay at Founders Lodge was superb. The Pod room has an amazing view over the Game Reserve (even from the shower!). Food is exceptional, and serving lunches and dinners from different locations within the Lodge/grounds was a nice touch. All staff are friendly, polite and good at what they do! The grounds are well maintained. The uninterrupted view of the waterhole allowed for lots of animal spotting. If you're thinking of going to an Eastern Cape Game Reserve,...

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Salem?
Given Salem's distinct character as a tranquil, rural village, the best area to stay is within the village itself, particularly around the central common and along the main roads like the R342.

Salem Village offers a peaceful, rural retreat, characterized by its open spaces, historic church, and scattered farmsteads. The common is a central feature where local events sometimes occur, and the roads leading off it provide access to guesthouses and working farms.

This setting is ideal for couples seeking a quiet escape. They can enjoy leisurely walks, birdwatching, and the slow pace of country life.

When is the best time to go to Salem?
The best time to go to Salem, Eastern Cape, is during the South African spring and autumn months, specifically from September to November and March to May.

These periods offer pleasant temperatures, generally ranging from the low 20s to high 20s Celsius (70s to 80s Fahrenheit), and less rainfall than the summer months. This makes it ideal for outdoor activities like exploring the local farms, enjoying nature walks, or visiting historical sites like the Salem Church. Travelers looking for comfortable weather for sightseeing will find these months most agreeable.

For those interested in wildlife viewing, particularly birdwatching, these shoulder seasons are also excellent. Many migratory bird species are present, and the mild weather makes for comfortable excursions.
