Beautiful, quiet and comfortable.

Thomas 10/10

Netherlands 🇳🇱

Pros: We had an amazing stay at Lion Tree. Lynn, Brian and the rest of the staff made us feel very welcome. The tree houses are comfortable, clean and you are surrounded by nature. Many animals come by the water hole, which you can admire from the swimming pool or during dinner. It is also a perfect location for a day trip to Kruger or another game reserve. We would definitely come back here!

Highlight of our vacation

Pros: Loved the tree house and the food is amazing. Unfortunately after 2 nights we had to go to another accommodation because the treehouse we booked was recked by an animal. The food there was not so good and the atmosphere at lion tree house was way better.

Beautiful stay

Pros: We had a great stay at Lion Tree! Lynn and Brian and the entire staff made us feel so welcome and comfortable. The area is beautiful and there’s lots of things to do. The food was absolutely amazing and it was a great experience to have it by the campfire. We definitely recommend staying here!

Best African Bush Lodge ever!

Pros: The owners and the staff were so kind! We arrived as guests and left as friends. Having diner together with a campfire underneath the stars. There are a lot of options to do tours (safari or Panorama route) and the staff will take care of everything in an excellent way. At night we could hear the lions roar.

Cons: No WiFi in the tent, only at the reception, bar and pool area.

Great hosts and bush walks with a unique tree top living experience

Pros: The treetop lodges were quirky and a new experience of living in the bush. Great hosts and very comfortable. Breakfast and dinner were great! Thank you Donald for a great bush walk.

Cons: A little dated maybe and we prefer self-catering, but as an all-in package we had everything we needed. In our case, rain also would have impacted the experience a bit.

Ama-p 10/10

Netherlands 🇳🇱

Pros: Lynn and Brian are very welcoming hosts, it was the perfect start of our holiday! And also great love to their staff Tandi and Flory, who made us feel very at home and who prepared lovely meals. The safari tips from Lynn and Brian were also great, and the location of the lodge is amazing (quiet, green), within 1 hour drive from Kruger. We did not prepare or pre-book very much from home, but they helped us arrange every activity very well so we could get the most out of our time at the Kruger. Would recommend staying at the Lion Tree Top Lodge very much!!
