Bellevue Forest is a private game reserve in the Eastern Cape where close-up wildlife encounters, considered lodge stays and wide-open bushveld come together in one calm, personal safari experience.
About Bellevue Forest
At Bellevue Forest, the safari experience is shaped around time in nature, meaningful wildlife viewing and a more personal way to experience the Eastern Cape bush. From giraffe tracking and Big 5 safaris to family-friendly stays and quiet moments under the stars, every part of the reserve is designed to bring guests closer to the natural world.
This is not a rushed safari stopover. It is a place to slow down, settle in and experience the reserve through guided encounters, comfortable accommodation and warm hospitality rooted in the landscape.
