San Valley Garden Route Game Lodge and Uniondale Accommodation

Nature and Man in unison, this is  San Valley Game Reserve, a private game reserve near the little town of Uniondale in the Little Karoo. We are striving, in conjunction with nature, to return an agricultural desert to its former natural glory. To do this we are assisting nature's cycles to start functioning again.

From the tiniest organism to Homo Sapiens, each has their role to play in a sustainable future. Here each guest at our Uniondale accommodation becomes a key player in the protection of ancient San Rock Art to the repair of nature's wounds, and the upliftment of our people.

To see the recovery of the more than 4 000 plant species, the return of over 40 animal species, the feathered glory of 130 bird species, uncounted insect species, and the intricacy of natures cycles would normally suffice.

San Valley Game Reserve is blessed with even more.

We have over 500 ancient San rock art paintings, deeply spiritual, and the remains of the best of the ancients' genes in our local community. Their talents are displayed in products ranging from hardwood furniture, made from invader plants and windfalls in our adjoining rain forests, to replicas of rock art, quilts and cushions, preserves and much, much more.

You can enjoy all of the above in our game reserve on our 4x4 vehicles. Stay in luxurious and comfortable Uniondale accommodation, enjoying real South African meals. You have a choice of fully catered or self catering options.

You can catch a bass, while being watched by our inquisitive Eland,  Zebra, Springbuck or even see our beautiful Blue Cranes raising their young, while the Black Eagles soar overhead. At night take a trip to see the majestic Buffalo, elusive Lynx or if you are really fortunate, the scarcely seen, phantom-like mountain Leopard.

What makes Uniondale's San Valley Game Reserve unique is that we have not created a reserve designed for tourists so much as a reserve intended for nature into which tourists are welcome to step. Join us in the wonder and excitement, as we form a partnership with nature and people, for a sustainable future.

This is also a perfect venue for small conferences and executive breakaways for those who would like both to enjoy their visit and at the same time to make a difference.

You can become a key role player, just by visiting us.
