Founders Lodge is replete with domestic opulence and encounters with the Big Five.  Adrian Gardiner’s conservation legacy is fundamentally embedded in the spirit of this opulent lodge near Port Elizabeth, ensuring that guests’ experiences are not only authentically African but also significantly impactful environmentally.

Situated in the Eastern Cape province, this is an excellent destination for a malaria-free safari that offers abundant wildlife.  The adjacent Shamwari Game Reserve has the Big 5, and visitors can explore Shamwari during game drives led by expert guides.  The reserve housing Founders Lodge is inhabited by plains wildlife, offering exquisite foot experiences with trained trackers eager to educate guests about the local fauna, avifauna, and insects.

This five-star lodge serves as a genuine home-away-from-home, including elegantly constructed suites, each with individual verandas offering valley views.  Gourmet cuisine is predominantly offered outdoors in the boma.  Due to its history as the private residence of the Gardiner family, Founders Lodge authentically embodies the essence of home within a splendid environment.
