Happy Jackal

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Happy Jackal! The service was outstanding, with a special thanks to Suzette for expertly organizing our activities and ensuring everything went smoothly. The breakfast was delicious and thoughtfully prepared, and the hospitality was unmatched. The warm and welcoming atmosphere made our visit truly memorable. Highly recommend this gem of a property!

The happy jackal is an incredible lodge! Suzette who works there was unbelievably helpful in booking activities for our group of 25. All the activities were amazing! The lodge is so lovely and the food was great! We will definitely come back!

Some of the rooms don’t have aircon

Location is amazing. People are friendly...total relaxation

Breakfast..atmosphere

Very friendly staff. Exceptional breakfast. The establishment even surprised us with champagne in our room after they found out it’s our anniversary with no additional charges.

Nothing at all

The room was great. Comfortable matress, and the quietest ceiling fan in the world. Breakfast was delicious. Fruit and jams from the garden, and local eggs, plus fresh baked bread. Suzette and Tim were caring and professional. They wantrd the first Canadians to stay there to enjoy ourselves. We did. Canucks, book a visit soon. Tim drove us in his game viewer around Addo. We saw beautiful sites and many animals in their natural setting around the huge park. Our 2-day stay was unforgettable. Very close to a well-stocked SPAR, gas station and popular Taste of Africa restaurant. 5 minute drive away.

We should have stayed longer to see the dunes and cruise the river.

The Happy Jackals is a very nice guesthouse at the southern entrance to the Addo Elephant Park. We had wonderful days there. The breakfast was very delicious and varied with homemade bread, the rooms were clean and furnished in African style. Suzette is a very dedicated and warm hostess who is always available and fulfills all our wishes. Her staff are also always friendly and helpful. The safari in Addo Park with Tim was sensational. Tim showed and explained everything important about the park - whether plants or animals. He exudes a calmness that makes you feel safe at every opportunity as he points out the dangers of the various wild animals. He answers every question and gives the participants time for photos. Tim has a very good knowledge of the park, so he knows where the animals usually are. We were able to see all the animals up close. The best guide ever! The Happy Jackals is definitely always recommendable!

The house was massive!!

Very friendly staff and couple, who manages the guest house. They were very welcoming and had some great recommendations. The breakfast was delicious as well. We like that it is a eco-friendly place. They are also providing the opportunities for game drive, which we unfortunately could not enjoy due to a short stay. We are looking forward to come back.

Great management couldn’t be more helpful. The staff are outstanding and very helpful, provide great recommendations. Lovely stay in a beautiful place, watching the birds at the bottom of the garden in the morning was so mindful and relaxing. Added bonus was they do laundry for you and return it immaculate. Great stay felt very safe, breakfast was good too
