Miriam “The Happy Jackal made 8 Canadians very happy”
19 Nov 2024
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.
Wolfgang “Sensational accommodation with great hosts”
08 Nov 2024
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!

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.
Dr. Jochen Wolf “Perfect location to start a safari on your own or with the Happy Jackal team into the Addo park.”
25 Jun 2024
Happy Jackal is the ideal starting point for a tour on the river or to Addo (2 minutes). Suzette is very caring. She recommended a good route through Addo where we saw all the animals except for lions and leopards (Maybe we didn't look hard enough.). There is a supermarket and a small restaurant 4 minutes away. The house is large, with very comfortable beds and well equipped. But we didn't really use the kitchen etc. but enjoyed the delicious breakfast from Suzanne and her staff overlooking the river before we started to Addo.
Jupiter_N “Really good option for anyone visiting Addo Elephant Park”
14 Apr 2024
The breakfast was really good and even included fresh bread. The room was very quite and clean. There is an Eco side to it as sink water is used to water the grass. Excellent location.
