Lovely Experience

Pleasantly surprised at the lodge. Service was lovely and staff were friendly and helpful - even organising additional activities for us. Special thank you to Anna who was an amazing and knowledgeable guide. Dinner service was well presented and delicious. Accommodation was clean and well-maintained. Aircon was strong enough to cool the room throughout and bathroom + kitchen were spacious and tidy.

Iion walks!

I love this place! Yes you can walk with lions and play with lion and tiger cubs and tour their high tech research lab. I saw no evidence of harm to the animals - in fact they have conservation awards posted. The staff are warm and friendly, the food is amazing and the cottages are charming.
