The Klein Karoo

  Outstanding weekend!  - We as family had a wonderful experience and enjoyed the hospitality, food, ambiance and personal touch thoroughly. The accomodation is truly beautiful and luxurious. The game drives were informative and... read more educational and the guides very knowledgeable. Highly recommended!

  Amazing introduction to large African wildlife  - This was a great personalised true luxury experience for us. The small staff were all very friendly, with lots of thoughtful extra touches (eg a helper with a torch to... read more light you home after dinner!), the lodge we stayed in spacious with its own terrace, lots of sitting area and a minikitchen for drinks, plus luxury bath & shower rooms. The viewing terrace was worth the steps up! And the starry skies a real treat.

Food was very well prepared and tasty but at times slow in arriving (particularly the hot dishes at breakfast). We understood that drinks were extra but there was no reminder of this or price list (even in the room) - and wine glasses were just topped up so it appeared to be included. However, they weren't expensive. We did have short walks in the bush, but hadn't grasped that there was not a separate walk on offer (to see rock art maybe - we didn't).

Our game drives were in small groups 4 or 6 of guests per vehicle. We saw all the animals - mostly really close - except the leopards - a reminder that wildlife is unpredictable! All the others seemed easy to find due to the reserve's size & the fact that they are reintroducing captive animals to the wild, initially in fairly small numbers which they feed in specific locations. Our guide Terence was super, gave us lots of interesting gen & allowed us plenty of time to watch behaviours.

We were very pleased we did not attempt to take our small non 4wd hire car onto the rough track beyond Montagu - Mont Eco put us on to R62 Adventure who stored our car & transported us the hour's journey each way, providing a private guide to the Karoo en route!

A special thank you to the fantastic staff, who were not only welcoming and professional but also incredibly honest and trustworthy. I had accidentally left my engagement ring behind, and they kept it safe in a vault until I could retrieve it. That speaks volumes about the resort’s top-tier service and integrity!

Our tour guide also deserves a special mention – such a friendly and caring person who made our experience even more special.

Mont Eco is truly a place we will never forget. We highly recommend this resort!
