Upon our arrival we were greeted by Derek who gave us a warm welcome, offering us anything we wanted to drink. We got this positive impression right away, knowing the next 3 nights here were going to be great ones and they were! Derek was our guide for our first ever safari. We were so excited and even though he... More

An amazing experience which was simply too short with 1 1/2 days (2 nights). Etta and her team were the perfect hosts. Thanks once again, Etta, for the unforgettable one-day tour through Addo and the ability to be so close to dozens of elephants, buffeloes and other park inhabtants. Your knowledge of the park, its pants and animals was so... More

We recently returned from 3 weeks holiday in South Africa which started with 3 nights at the Dung Beetle. We really loved the place and it is ideally situated for entry to Addo. Derek and Etta provided very kind hospitality and Etta managed to find lion in the park on our first game drive. Seeing the young male lion climbing... More

We agree with all the previous five star reviews already posted. We had the three day package and thoroughly enjoyed all the activities especially the game drive with Derek to Addo. The trip on the Sunday's river is a must. Breakfast on the deck overlooking the river is to be remembered.

Our first trip to S. Africa. Two nights stay booked by our friends from Knysna and we were not disappointed. Great welcome, wonderful breakfast. B&B only but super pub short walk down the road, serving good food. Originally going to self drive the Addo, but extremely pleased we went with Etta who was a mine of information and spotted animals... More

We stayed here for two nights with friends and couldn't have been more welcomed. Peaceful, beautiful setting with lovely, spotlessly clean rooms, wonderful breakfasts, with freshly squeezed fruit juice, home made bread and two hosts who could not have done more for us. We had initially planned to do a self drive around Addo, but after hearing the glowing reports... More

We stayed for 2 nights in January during our 5 week trip around South Africa, and were delighted we had picked Dungbeetle as it was fantastic. We arrived late after a 12 hour drive down from Durban and were greeted by Derek who showed us to our suite (Africa) which was exactly as it looks in the pictures, if not... More
