Lions Valley Lodge

absolutely stunning lodge. exceptional accommodation in a fantastic location. the staff were all so helpful and super nice and friendly. the standard of the food was superb. our guide Daniel was really enthusiastic and so helpful his knowledge of the big 5 was fantastic as well as the wild birds and insects that exist on the reserve. He really put myself and friends at ease as this was our first Safari. He really looked after us on our game drives. We were lucky to see 4 out of the 5 big 5 which was incredible. The facilities in the lodge and super luxurious and the suites were absolutely amazing. Fabulous pool area over looking the water hole. I would recommend anyone to stay at the lodge. It was frankly one of the best places I have ever stayed

There isn’t any negative comments I have

My friend and I loved everything about the this lodge, especially the food. All meals were glorious and very delicious with very generous portions! Kudos to the chefs! We enjoyed everything that we had. The staff members were absolutely friendly, always willing to assist, a pleasure to be with and they made our stay wholesome and comfortable! Stay shining team ❤️ All rooms were clean and fresh. Well done to the cleaners and maintenance team. The game drives were very fun and very informative/educational. They were fantastic! We had a short break in between our drive, in the bushes with drinks and snacks (the ranger usually stopped at the safest place with beautiful views). Stefan was our ranger/guid and he was incredible. He loves his job and he's very knowledgeable about the environment and animals. He shared a lot of interesting facts about the different types of animals that we saw. We saw lions, giraffes, elephants, zebras, rhinos, buffaloes, kudus (just to name a few) and many more as well as the different kinds of birds. This place has really made me appreciate nature more.

We couldn't use the outdoor shower because there was a snake (apparently one of the most dangerous snakes) that we saw through the indoor shower glass. Luckily all doors and windows were closed and there was nothing in our room. We called the reception and the team's response was very fast.

The rooms at the lodge were spacious and comfortable. Daniel the game ranger was highly knowledgeable regarding the animals and the Bush which made the game drives enjoyable. The game reserve itself is amazing.

Overall it was a good experience, only criticism would be there wasn't enough of a variety of food options in my opinion.
