Hartford House

Hartford is the resolution of all South African safaris; the journey's exclamation point, a retreat from the hubbub where you make sense of a fast life and it's senseless details.

Opening another, the distant sounds of an ancient people at work lilt across the silent landscape, a country of great space, spectacular mountains and big skies. This place commands a headland between the world of traditional cultures and the splendid style of our settler forebears.

    "My stay at Hartford House was one of the most unique vacation experiences in my life. The estate has more than 600 horses and is centered around a beautiful late-Victorian English Colonial home, full of antiques. The large garden and grounds are beautiful and the service was excellent. Hartford is an unbelievable travel bargain. The food and wine list is among the very best in the country. Excellent!"
