Guest Reviews
- Charisse (10/5): - Exceptional attention to detail. Staff is wonderful. Food is excellent, surroundings gorgeous. The game drives were 4-5 hours each morning, 2.5 hours in the evening with only two seats per row. Wonderful viewing and the park is stunning. Great experience.
- Leonardo (10/5): "Flawless from start to finish—superb service, excellent breakfast, and they even washed my car!" - The breakfast service was outstanding! The variety of choices available was impressive, and the specialty dishes were particularly noteworthy. The quality and selection made for a great start to the day. Highly recommended! What's there not to like? Everything was superb! From start to finish, the experience exceeded expectations. The quality, service, and attention to detail were all exceptional. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!
- Ashlyn (10/5): Celebrating a special occasion in the perfect setting with all the luxuries and spoils. - Superb attention to detail.
Every day had a new layout and meal for lunch and dinner.
The staff are exceptional, accommodating and welcoming at all times.
Room are sizable and very comfortable with nice touches and thoughtfulness put into the room. I loved everything about the property.
If I had to be critical, just off the patio on our room had a sandy mound which could be “ bush landscaped” a little. But this didn’t detract from our stay.
- Wessel (9/5): -
- Isak (10/5): Amazing, wonderful and a trip we will never forget! - LUSH var enastående. Upplevelsen i sin helhet är svår att slå. Fräscha rum, god mat, elefanter som kommer till ett vattenhål i närheten. Det bästa med LUSH förutom de fantastiska lokalerna var guiderna på safariturerna. Kunniga, roliga och måna om att gästerna ska få en fantastisk upplevelse. All ära till Eddie och Andrew som är väldigt duktiga på sina jobb! Vi kommer åter inom en snar framtid. Inget att anmärka på.
- George (10/5): Absolutely incredible. Beautiful lodge, amazing staff. Amazing experience -
- André (10/5): - Es war
- Dieter (10/5): A world-class lodge. The best we experienced - Fantastic
- Ron (10/5): Magnificent - The settings were phenominal Nothing, loved everythinh
- Evelien (10/5): Zeer mooi complex met superleuke game drives - De gastvrijheid, alle comfort, all-inclusive, game drives,.. Niks
- Luke (10/5): -
- Daniela (10/5): -
- Lucy (10/5): We had the most unforgettable trip. Truly magical stay made by the wonderful staff and our driver Sean. So accommodating - Absolutely beautiful lodge. Room was incredible and had everything we needed including indoor & outdoor shower, double sinks, bath and nespresso machine. We had multiple room services a day which was a wonderful surprise, including the night turn down with dressing gown & herbal tea laid out for a perfect nights sleep! Safari trips unforgettable with our incredible and caring driver Sean. He took us out and was determined to find us (and succeeded in finding) the big 5 after weather issues out of our control. SO much delicious food including a variety of meals which were different settings each night. The Spa was absolutely incredible !!!
The seats on the car were the most luxurious of all cars we saw (x6 passengers only with binoculars, blankets and ponchos provided) Also loved how boutique is felt with only 16 guests total at the lodge. We made great friends with our fellow passengers. Absolutely nothing
- ping (10/5): amazing stay ...really amazing - amazing
its the best so far to all of us
we surely want to go back again
must try once in ur life time all perfect
- Ran (10/5): - Everything!!! Nothing ~
- Nastasje (7/5): - Accommodation was excellent. The feeling of the private game lodge was luxurious.
One of the few that have a really nice spa. They could work on the atmosphere a bit. The staff do a great job making you feel welcome but something just isn't right. Having an all inclusive experience with drinks that are included and certain drinks excluded made it feel less homely.
Some excluded drinks are not much more in price when compared to the included drinks. Not sure why this was a thing at a luxurious game lodge. Just don't have the expensive alcohol on display and if someone asks say you can get it, it will frame it as going above and beyond.
- Jye (10/5): All round amazing stay - Everything was incredible from the food to the hospitality.
The rooms were extremely clean and well maintained and every meal as delicious as the last.
The massage at the spa was 10/10.
On the daily game drives we managed to see the Big 5 easily!
We will be back.

- Sacha (10/5): Beyond Amazing – A Truly Unforgettable Experience - Our stay was absolutely incredible – hospitality on a whole different level (if we could give 11/10, we would!). The entire team went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and every single person we met was exceptionally kind and genuine. The food was delicious, and every meal felt like a treat.
A special shoutout to our amazing guide Andrew – your knowledge and energy made our experience truly unforgettable. And a huge thank you to our wonderful host Phindi – you were so helpful and kind.
Thank you for everything – we’ll never forget this place! -
- Elna (10/5): Wonderful stay - Just so stunning. It’s all in the small attention to detail. Luxury inside the bush. It doesn’t get better.
- Karl-henry (10/5): Séjour incroyable - Séjour en juillet 2025
Difficile de mettre des mots sur une expérience aussi magique. Lush Private Game Lodge a dépassé toutes nos attentes. Dès notre arrivée, on se sent comme chez soi… en mieux. Le cadre est exceptionnel : une nature à perte de vue, des lodges décorés avec un goût fou, tout est pensé dans les moindres détails.
Le personnel est d’une bienveillance rare. Chaleureux sans être intrusif, attentif sans jamais être lourd. Mention spéciale à notre guide pour les safaris : passionné, pédagogue, il a su rendre chaque sortie unique. On a eu la chance de voir les Big Five, mais aussi de vivre de vrais moments de silence et de contemplation, loin de tout.
La cuisine est digne d’un restaurant gastronomique : créative, savoureuse, toujours adaptée à nos préférences. Chaque repas est une expérience à part entière.
C’est un endroit où le temps s’arrête, où le luxe ne se mesure pas seulement en prestations mais en émotions. Un lieu qu’on quitte avec le cœur un peu serré, mais rempli de souvenirs inoubliables.
Merci à toute l’équipe pour cette parenthèse enchantée.
- Samer (10/5): -
- Giovana (10/5): Exceptional - We loved everythjng about Lush! The room and common areas were just perfect, the food and drinks were delicious, and the staff was extremely friendly and lovely. The game drives were super fun, with stunning views and we could see 4 of the big 5, thanks to our amazing guide Andrew!!
You can feel the exclusive treatment in every way… we were there for 4 nights for our honeymoon, and for each night they prepared dinner in a diferent spot of the hotel! Thanks lush team for the best experience we could have asked for!!! Nothing! Everythjng was perfect
- Sebastian (10/5): Exceptional - Thanks for the Service! The "secret" cleaning while we were out of the room, the relaxed atmosphere, kindness and that you placed us in Front the fireplace. Perfect
- David (10/5): An absolutely perfect safari vacation! - Everything was absolutely stunning, truly one of the best hotels we have ever stayed at.

The food was varied and delicious at every meal. The game drives were excellent.

- Gerhard (10/5): Exceptional -

- Michael (10/5): Memories which will last a lifetime! - Wow, I've been trying to write this review for a few days now because I can't fully express just how extraordinary Lush Private Lodges is and how much we enjoyed our stay.
Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by the friendly team and shown to the most stunning room ever. The bed is so spacious you'll definitely lose each other in the night!
The room was immaculately clean, and every time we stepped out, the housekeepers were there tidying up. They even left us charming little notes and cups of tea each night.
The food was fantastic; we thoroughly enjoyed both breakfasts and lunches. One evening, we celebrated my partner’s birthday with a private dinner on our balcony, complete with a birthday cake as requested prior to arrival. Compliments to the chef and thanks to everyone who made the evening unforgettable.
A huge thank you to Avi, our incredible guide. Avi was exceptionally knowledgeable about both wildlife and plants. We were fortunate enough to see the Big 5 and so many other animals. Avi even had us spitting impala poo, making toothbrushes from plants, and chewing on numbing leaves. The hot water bottles and ponchos were lifesavers on those chilly mornings. The snacks and gins were beautifully presented, and we felt truly special throughout the trip.
We can't wait to return to Lush; we've already booked to stay again for 2025! Nothing at all. Lush truly is lush!
- Gennel (8/5): Very good -
- Abie (8/5): Very good - Absolutely breathtaking, worth every penny spend Nothing
- Catriona (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mark (9/5): Really enjoy Lush and will be going back next time in RSA. - Excellent staff. Excellent game drives. Really enjoy going and getting the total Lush experience. Nothing really. Might be getting a bit expensive but have not gauged Lush against equivalents.
- Neo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nelisiwi (10/5): Exceptional - loved everything about the place and their hospitality nothing,
- Janine (8/5): The staff are incredible…quality food and excellent service. The game drive brilliant and walk a rare privilege. - Contemporary design, the women’s touches are very appreciated. The detail of care. The noise factor, zero privacy, couldn’t sleep due to the noise, and extremely cold. But the staff brought in heaters.
- Jaimala (10/5): Exceptional, hospitality was top class . - Absolutely everything!!!
From the start to the end , as a local from South Africa it was the most amazing experience and I will go back everytime I visit home ☺️ I think the food could have been a title
More comfort “foody” . The fine dining experience was amazing but maybe a little more to choose from .
- Emma (10/5): The people and the environment are exceptional - Wonderful surrounds in the bush. The actual venue is beautifully setup with all comforts and luxuries. There is a bit of a drive to get into the Pilanesberg main reserve to see other animals like buffalo.
- Jade (10/5): Exceptional -
- Marion June (10/5): In a league of its own. 10/10👏 - Absolutely unbelievable. Incredible venue , best of the best.
- Marsha (10/5): Unbelievable experience! - PHENOMENAL! Every single detail! Every single second! Greatest experience ever! The loveliest people & food & experiences! Lush lodge cannot be beat! Thank you all!!!!
- Peter (10/5): Absolutely Perfect. - From the first second of arriving, the service and attention to detail procvided by all the staff were excellent. Cole, our safari guide was fabulous and very knowledgeable, and we managed to see the big 5.
The Lodge is super luxurious and very Instagramable.
The food was excellent, as was the all-inclusive drinks (especially the Mojitos).
The Lodge accommodation again was luxury and super clean. The staff really are unbelievable, so kind, helpful, and friendly. (Especially Rodney)
We have stayed at many 5 star hotels, but nothing comes close to Lush, an absolute perfect stay, and we can't wait to return. Having to leave Lush.
- Sandra (10/5): Top African hospitality - Staff was friendly, facilities exceptional, food and wine lovely and game drives very informative.
- Tania (10/5): Exceptional -
- Michael (10/5): - Best hotel we’ve ever stayed in!
- Sophie (10/5): Just STUNNING! - The best place I have ever stayed !! Lush should be the top of everyone's go-to list!
The rooms were absolutely beautiful, huge and the epitome of luxury. Rooms were cleaned, beds made etc every time you left the room - there was even a turn down service in the evening with dressing gowns, slippers and camomile tea laid out for a relaxing bedtime treat.
The staff were wonderfully friendly, knew us by name and nothing was too much trouble. The experience felt so personal and honestly felt like home.
The food was delicious and the service was amazing. Dinner was served in different locations each evening, the first being in the wine cellar which was stunning.
Our game drives were AMAZING - especially our driver Hannes!! The experience was so personal, it was 'what would you like to do?' 'where would you like to go?' rather than being dictated to with strict timings etc like on other activity trips I've been on. We managed to see the Big 5 and I really couldn't have asked for a better experience.
- Chris (10/5): THE best way to end our honeymoon - There are no end to luxury spots to sit, enjoy a drink and be treated like royalty by the outstanding staff. The rooms were exceptionally well laid out with great facilities
Every member of staff would welcome you and talk to you as you passed them, ask about your day and make sure that you had everything you needed to be thoroughly relaxed.
Avi our game driver was exceptional, her energy and enthusiasm for her job was infectious and she would do her best to ensure you saw something different at least once a drive, while also explaining thing to you and answering any questions you’d have. Nothing
- Antonio (10/5): BUT BESIDES THAT. EXCELLENT . - LUSH SHOULD CONSIDER TV IN THE ROOMS AS ENTERTAINMENT IN THE AFTERNOONS , THE WIFI NEEDS TO BE UPGRADED
- Sibongumusa (9/5): Very good place for relaxing - It was very private and clean ,and it was very welcoming
- Bernadette (8/5): Very good -
- Tania (10/5): A wonderful weekend. Many memories made. - My friends came to visit from the UK and have never been to SA or on Safari. They were moved to tears by the lodge, the rooms, the people and the animals. Our ranger, Hannes, was a delight and we managed to see the big 5 a few times. Memorable Nothing
- Gizem (10/5): Exceptional - Everything’s gorgeous, amazing, wonderful… it was such an amazing experience to stay in lodge. I am very upset to stay a 1 night. All the members were friendly. They made us feel like we stay at home. All the meals are exceptionally delicious. It was well selected menus and we enjoyed experience it a lot. Safari experience was something else. Our ranger is knowledgeable and experienced. Would definitely recommend stay in lush lodge.
- Pithia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Caprisha (10/5): Exceptional -
- Arndt (10/5): Exceptional -
- Michael (7/5): Fantastic and would highly recommend other than the food - The property itself was amazing and the staff were great especially the Safari Guides Nothing we didn’t like about the property itself other than the lack of wifi and tv in the rooms for when you’re not on Safari. The food however was a huge disappointment. From small lunch portions to badly cooked, bland food. When you pay extra and it’s 5 star you expect five star dining, which this was not.
- Reuben (10/5): Exceptional -
- Chawla (10/5): Exceptional - Lush is an incredible experience. The staff really do their very best to create an exceptional experience for you while on their property. The food is customized for each guest's requests and the staff is always ready to help. Absolutely loved staying at this incredible property and getting to discover Pilanesburg while enjoying the luxury at Lush. Nothing to say!
- Daniel (10/5): Undoubtedly the best place I’ve ever stayed! - Lush Private Game Lodge is simply stunning, the location, facilities and interior design are flawless. The staff are incredibly welcoming, polite and friendly, always putting guests first. You really do feel special. The game rides out are brilliant and the rangers are great, so knowledgeable and make the whole experience worth while. I would highly recommend this venue for people looking for that luxury experience for a safari break. I cannot pick a single fault.
- Kavitha (9/5): Indulged, relaxed, opportunity to be spoilt in the bush - The food was delicious; the enthusiasm and care that each staff member exhibited was amazing; each person went above and beyond
- Vongani (10/5): Exceptional -
- Liz (10/5): Exceptional -
- Roger (10/5): - We have stayed at over 30 Game Lodges in South Africa over the years and Lush Private Game Lodge is better by far. Their standard of service is unmatched. They are so friendly and they go above and beyond to ensure guests needs are met. The food is amazing and the game drives exceded all expectations. We can't imagine going anywhere else.
- Rolanda (10/5): Exceptional -
- Wendy (10/5): A great place to end our safari holiday. - Lush is Lush. Amazing rooms with quality fixings and furnishings, hot water bottles at bedtime. Friendly staff who take the time to learn your name immediately on arrival. Wonderful food with several amazing eating venues. Catering for our individual food requirements, nothing too much trouble. Excellent Safari experience, hot water bottles and blankets for the morning drives and great morning/sundowner stops - Amarula in coffee/hot chocolate with super snacks is a must. Just didn't get to use the gym or spa. Nothing negative to say
- Angela (9/5): Superb -
- Juan (10/5): - The hotel has a great friendly staff. The food is great and theres plenty of great drinks! Great massages and very confortable to rest. This is a great place to visit love the game drives and all the animals you can also see!
- Kirsten (10/5): Unbelievable experience- Highly recommend - One of the best lodges we have stayed at. Staff were phenomenal. It made our stay even more special. If I have to pick something- I think the food could have been better but it was still good.
- Jaimin (10/5): Amazing safari stay and lodge!! - Amazing stay! Absolutely loved the lodge, the setting was incredible, staff amazing and the game drives top class. Would highly recommend to anyone
- Andrew (10/5): Exceptional -
- Harald (10/5): Exceptional game drive - Big within one morning - Getting spoiled everything was perfect
- Kgopotso (10/5): Blissful time intouch with nature - luxury accommodation and private Nothing
- Dean (10/5): Exceptional - Staff was outstanding. Even got lucky and had a private safari morning ride. Room was insane and luxurious! This place was epic. Here is a video. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CpBSuHko1jT/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
- Melinda (10/5): Perfect in every way - Genuinely the most beautiful accommodation I’ve ever experienced. It lives up to the reviews. I was lucky enough to stay in lodge 6 and I just wish there had been more hours in the day to spend lots of time in every indoor and outdoor section. The staff go out of their way to provide exceptional service and the food is outstanding. A special mention to Ranger Jacques, who was a brilliant guide and absolutely made the stay with his extensive knowledge, humour and care for guests.
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rochelle (10/5): Luxury at it's finest - The service was unbelievable from the moment we arrived until we had left. The staff are so friendly and really give you a personal experience.

- DIMITRIOS (10/5): THE BEST LODGE EVER - Where does one begin? From the minute you drive up to the wonderful smiling, welcoming, waving greeters you feel at home. Lush was the highlight of our South African vacation. Every single attention to detail shows that love, thought and care has been given. Our guide Cole was outstanding, his knowledge and passion shine through. Thank you Lush for the memories we will definitely be back.

All the staff are extremely well trained and carries you on their hands from beginning to end
The Guides are incredible with a wealth of knowledge
Not to even mention the food - we rolled out of the lodge it was just AMAZING
- Marnus (10/5): Absolute luxury bliss! - The lodge is absolutely stunning. The staff were so welcoming. they truly made sure we had an absolutely amazing time. the purpose of our trip was a 5 year anniversary and the staff made sure it was as special as can be. the rooms are extremely clean and neat. The food was great. the game drives were informative and the vehicle was the most comfy we have had at a lodge. No wifi in the rooms.
- Verified traveler (10/5): A truly luxurious experience - Excellent service, friendly, helpful staff. Excellent food.
The cherry on the top was when I found that my car was washed for me, on the morning I was checking out.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Brilliant location and staff are amazing and cater to all your needs. Property is in great condos toon and you feel very safe at all times. A must do place if your heading to Pilansberg.

- ShaneMandy (10/5): - Our Lush experience was extraordinarily “LUSH”
The staff are so genuinely caring, kind and professional yet suitably personable. They all made us feel really special and our experience of lodge and game viewing proved brilliant! The lodge is luxuriously and beautifully attired. The food is gourmet and delicious. Our overall best ever safari experience!
- James (10/5): Why look anywhere else? -
Lush lodge really has no faults- and after a 4 night stay, if it did we would have found them.
The building and facilities were incredible- like something out of a film. The attention to detail is second to none.
Every member of staff greets you by name and seems to have any request ready before you have finished your sentence. Thank you to all the team but in particular Andrew for organising a special celebratory meal for us.
A special mention must go to our ranger Ruan - not only providing us with once in a lifetime sightings, he was also knowledgable about the whole landscape, birds and trees and kept us interested in between seeing the animals.
Ruan’s passion, dedication and obvious enjoyment in his job was infectious and he was always professional and respectful of the animals and environment.
Thank you again
James and Libby
