OVERVIEW

Elephant, giraffe and zebra roam free on your private reserve, and dinner is served around the fire.

Longhill Reserve is a private 1,850-hectare wilderness reserve in the Eastern Cape. Malaria-free, uncrowded and owner-led. It’s about 27 km by road from Addo Elephant National Park, so you get the wildlife of the park and the privacy of your own reserve in one stay.

Stunning rooms:

Choose between our air-conditioned luxury lodges, ideal for families and groups, and our safari tents. Both have king size beds and hot tubs, and every stay includes free Wi-Fi, tea and coffee, and free private parking.

Special features

  • Wildlife on the reserve: elephant, giraffe, zebra, buffalo, cheetah, antelope of all kinds and many more
  • Guided game drives in our open game vehicles, through Longhill Reserve and into Addo Elephant National Park to see the famous elephant herds
  • Cheetah conservation and experiences for nature lovers of all ages
  • Catered meals in the bush boma, with nothing to cook or clean up

Unique areas:

Dine in our bush boma under the stars, gather around the fire pit at sunset, or cool off in the splash pool. Prefer to cook? Fire up a braai if you want one. The large communal tables are perfect for long dinners and games with family and friends.

Views and local attractions:

Watch the sun set over the hills with wildlife grazing nearby. Addo Elephant National Park is a short drive away, and Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) and its airport are roughly 40 km away. This makes Longhill an easy base for a safari that doesn’t feel like a tour bus.

Special touches:

Warm, hands-on hosts, expert local guides, and the kind of off-grid luxury that makes guests say they’re coming back. Families, couples and groups are all welcome.

Gavin & Lynn Biggs

Owners

Longhill Reserve was founded by Gavin Biggs, CEO of the Multiple Group of Companies, Chairperson of the Homeowners Association, and Chairperson of the Tourism Association, and Dr Lynn Biggs, Executive Dean of Law at Nelson Mandela University and member of the South African Legal Practice Council.

Their vision for Longhill was never simply a business venture. It was a commitment to conservation, community, and creating a genuinely private reserve experience in the Eastern Cape, one that could stand alongside the best in Africa without pretending to be something it is not.

Today, Longhill spans 1,850 hectares of malaria-free Eastern Cape bushveld, is home to five active conservation projects, four private lodges, and a team of rangers, guides, and hospitality staff who share the Biggs family’s commitment to the land and its guests.

When you stay at Longhill, you are a guest of the family, not a booking reference in a corporate system. That is the difference owner-led hospitality makes, and it is the reason guests return.
