A special experience was staying at the Lion Tree Top Lodge in the Greater Kruger Park. At night you hear the lions roar, the hyenas call and the monkeys jump on the roof and terrace of your lodge. In the morning while you are under the outdoor shower you see the impalas and springboks pass by. During the day with a nice glass of wine by the pool you see the zebras drinking from the pond nearby. And close to the resort the giraffes walk. A very special experience to see all those animals pass by your lodge. In the evening we had a very nice meal around the cozy campfire in the boma together with the super sweet hosts Brian and Lynn. The lodges are beautiful and equipped with all the necessities, separated from each other by wooden paths that provide the necessary privacy. So the resort seemed all to yourself. No mass tourism here like with the accommodations in the Kruger Park. In short, a real African bush experience in this small-scale, cozy resort, which was a highlight of our road trip through South Africa, thanks in part to Brian and Lynn.

Our hosts, Lynn and Brian, treated the 5 of us like family. Great communication prior to our arrival, regarding game drives and other activities, all being organised ahead of time. Really comfortable 'tree top tents', in the Bush, with associated wildlife nighttime noises. Fantastic sleeps. Loved the small social gatherings at breakfast and dinner, meeting and chatting with the other local and intrmernational guests, together with Lynn and Brian. Food was excellent and plentiful. Great chef and all the staff were so friendly and helpful. We were very sad to leave after our 6 nights and 5 very full days. Would highly recommend it if you want to experience the real Bush atmosphere in a small, family group setting.

Lynn, Brian and all their staff made our stay an absolutely memorable one. They spared no effort to make us feel very much at home. Not only did they book outings for us, they even offered to take us to a reserve as my partner had fallen and could hardly walk. We enjoyed the food at the open fire in the boma, breakfast was great. We could not have wished for more. We hope to be able to come back in November. Thanks so much.

We had the most divine 3-night stay at Lion Tree Top Lodge! - Hospitality: Brian, Lynn and staff were incredibly warm and hospitable and made us feel at home. They were always up for a friendly chat, and were happy to help with booking any activities for you (even outside of the lodge). - The treehouse: we stayed in the Cheetah treehouse and absolutely loved it! The trees are literally growing onto the balcony. There's a kettle (teas and coffee) and a bar fridge in the unit, which is all you need. There is no cell reception in the unit, so you feel completely off the grid! Lion Tree Top is a slice of heaven. - Location: the lodge is situated in Guernsey private reserve, which borders the Kruger National Park. The Guernsey road isn't in great condition, so a high-rise vehicle is highly recommended. Guernsey is teeming with lots of wildlife (no big 5) and birds, and you can hear the lions from Kruger roaring at night as if they're a stone throw away from your treehouse. It takes about an hour to get to the Orpen gate at Kruger. - Food: The food (breakfasts and dinner) were delicious, prepared by a talented private chef - 10/10. Chef was very proud of her meals and presented the 3-course creative dinner menu each night. I especially loved sitting around the boma for dinners swapping stories with the other guests.

Our stay was unexpected, we had to make last minute changes and booked one night on our way to Kruger Park. We loved it and stay an additional night. We didn’t know what to expect as the road to access the property is challenged. We did OK. When we arrived to the Lodge we loved it instantly ! We arrived at dinner time and it was like coming home, a warm welcome, wonderful dinner around a bon fire, very nice people, the owners, the guests and the staff! Our luxury tent was beautiful! Very private and spacious. We did a walk safari in the lodge private reserve, and it was very nice, specially walking near the giraffes. One night with slept with the wonderful sound of lions roaring!
