  • Elephant Hide Guest Lodge Review
    Written By Uyaphi.com
    Driving west back towards Cape Town, you will come across Elephant Hide Lodge overlooking the Knysna lagoon.

It contains seven Afro-chic cottages each surrounded by an indigenous garden of fynbos with panoramic views of the lagoon.
