We are excited to share some incredible news with you. For the third consecutive year, Grootbos has been honoured as one of the Top 20 Resorts in South Africa by the prestigious Condé Nast Traveller Readers' Choice Awards 2024.
This global recognition reflects the unforgettable experiences we create with you, our treasured guests. From exploring the ancient milkwood forests and discovering the fascinating nature of our Cape Floral Kingdom to enjoying the luxurious hospitality of our staff, it is your adventures and stories that have helped us reach this extraordinary milestone.
The Condé Nast Readers' Choice Awards remain one of the ultimate symbols of excellence within the travel sector, with an unparalleled legacy as the travel industry's longest-running and most prestigious accolades.
This recognition would not be possible without the dedication of our hardworking staff, whose passion and commitment bring the Grootbos experience to life every day. From the friendly faces who greet you, to the guides who show you the hidden wonders of our reserve, and the chefs who create those unforgettable meals, their hearts and souls are behind this achievement.
We extend our deepest gratitude to our valued guests and everyone who voted for us. Your support and belief in what we do inspire us to continue raising the bar and creating extraordinary experiences. This recognition reflects your connection with Grootbos and our shared love for nature, adventure, and luxury.
Grootbos is a world leader in sustainable tourism and has been awarded some of the highest international accolades possible, making us one of only a handful of lodges to achieve this.
The last year has been a busy one at Grootbos. We rebuilt our beloved Garden Lodge entirely and re-opened it in April 2022. We also officially launched the Grootbos Florilegium - Africa's first contemporary florilegium - which is a collection of botanical illustrations created by local and international artists, depicting the charismatic plants found on our reserve and the surrounding regions.
