Lions Place

Pros: The food was excellent, JP and Daniele are so handsome!

Pros: We had the most wonderful days as a family at Lions Place. JB is the perfect host and an even better ranger. His game drives were incredible, and he shared so many fun and inspiring stories about nature and wildlife. Everything was perfectly organized. Anna and Pretty were two incredibly kind hosts who also happen to be amazing cooks. Together, the three of them made a fantastic team and made us feel completely at home. We asked JB if he could arrange something special for our parents’ 35th wedding anniversary, and what they put together was truly amazing: a beautifully decorated room and an unforgettable breakfast by the river. To top it all off, we were lucky enough to have elephants visit the lodge twice, an experience we’ll never forget. Dear JB, Pretty, and Anna, thank you for the wonderful time, your warmth, and your hospitality. We ended our trip in the best possible way, thanks to you!

Pros: JB is a great host and an awesome tour guide. He gave us unforgettable memories with the safaris. The lodge is very familiar and you couldn't ask for more. His two lovely employees prepare excellent food throughout the whole day. We had an incredible time and were really sad to leave. Thank you!

Cons: You might gain some weight because of the delicious food and the big plates ;) We liked everything about Lions Place!

Pros: Very special place. Excellent personal service by Danielle, JP and staff. Good food, and of course the game drives: we saw lions and rhinos, and JP told us a lot about animal behavior. We had a memorable stay!

Beautiful little lodge in the bush

Pros: A lovely lodge run by a very friendly and very helpful French family. We stayed in the family suite which was spacious and the beds were very comfortable. The breakfast and meals were delicious home cooked food with generous portions. We did several safari trips with the hosts and we really enjoyed these. The scenery in this area is beautiful. The highlights for us were driving alongside 2 lionesses and the elephants visiting the lodge. We loved watching the family of elephants bathing in the waterhole and taking a drink from the swimming pool.

Cons: Nothing, it was perfect.

Just magical

Pros: The whole experience was magical, and one we will remember for the rest of our lives. We were blown away by the efforts made by Danielle in hosting us, from the amazing home cooked food in such a beautiful setting to making sure we had clean rooms, new towels, and made beds to return to every morning. As for the safari, it is difficult to find the words to describe how amazing this was. We really appreciated JP sharing his experiences and knowledge of the animals and his patience in answering our many questions. There is nothing like seeing an elephant with its baby walk right past you or a lion so full after a kill that it can barely move. In the end, we saw zebras, giraffes, rhinos, hippos, impala, rare wild dogs, and many other animals and birds. We already miss our coffee by the river as the sun comes up...it was perfect in every way.

Pros: Thanks JB for the wonderful time at Lions place everything was perfect and next time we will spend more time with you. Kr Torsten

An A-mazing stay in the bush! 🤩

Pros: An absolute little jewel in the Gritjie private game reserve. JP & Danielle and at the time also their daughter Camille gave our honeymoon stay the absolute perfect touch. Extra champagne and a personal congratulations card gives you bubbles in your belly as well. 🥰 JP is an excellent ranger with a lot of knowledge which he enjoys to share and Danielle make the best food to your preferences you can imagine. You can rest assured that you will not leave this place hungry. This is the best safari experience we have ever had. Although we did not see an overwhelming amount of animals but that is a total lottery. This stay was totally A-mazing!!! 🤩😍

Cons: We were hoping to see all the big 5’s of course. But it is always a lottery. 3 out of 5 (rhinos, elephants and lions) plus a lot of other species is still quite alright.

Pros: We had a great time and great drives! The food was delicious.

Cons: That we stayed only 1 night :-).

Geweldig

Pros: Our stay at Lions Place Lodge was fantastic. The lodge is beautiful and well-maintained, with lovely rooms and views of the bush. The friendly staff gave us a warm welcome and were always ready to ensure we had the best time. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast in the mornings and dinner in the evenings. The location is perfect for safari enthusiasts, offering easy access to stunning bush walks and game drives. Overall, Lions Place Lodge exceeded all our expectations. We highly recommend this lodge and look forward to returning!
