Hotels in South Africa

Lions Place is a fabulous lodge. Located in the middle of a private reserve bordering the Kruger National Park, the hotel provides a luxury experience. Besides being very nice, well decorated and comfortable, it offers several alternatives to tour the area with highly trained guides (Congratulations to JB and Ian for their fantastic work as guides!) The room is very spacious, with a very comfortable bed, a large bathroom with a large bathtub, closets, tea and coffee making facilities, cold water and an incredible view of the savannah. Lions Place also has a swimming pool, and two viewpoint that allow you to view the beautiful scenery, plus the garden where if you are lucky you can find wild animals (we saw a porcupine). JB, who is in charge of the place is the best! Very friendly, welcoming and an excellent guide both in the area and during the full day safari we did in Kruger. At Lions Places you can also request, in addition to the value of your stay, a dinner, which is an unforgettable experience. A French and South African fusion dinner with a starter, main course and dessert, which, weather permitting, is served outdoors. In our case we did a full day safari (exceptional!) and a morning bush walk. Both instances were amazing! We saw lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, and many other mammals and birds that made the visit unforgettable. A special note to the ladies who run the place, they are very kind and excellent cooks! Totally recommended and we would stay there again.

Super service by staff, spacious appartement, relaxed location in Franschhoek.

We stayed here on our honeymoon for one night and it was so worth it. The lodge was incredible and there were lovely touches from staff, a plate of goodies and drinks when we got back from dinner

Great Lodge. Fantastic service, amazing safari experience with great ranger. life-time experience.

We had the pleasure of staying at a truly stunning property. The attention to detail throughout the space was out of this world, with every corner thoughtfully designed. The décor in the rooms is absolutely breathtaking, creating such a warm and stylish atmosphere. To top it off, the host was incredibly warm and welcoming, which made our stay feel even more special. Highly recommended!

Beautiful property, two excellent restaurants, wine tasting, golf and accessibility of driving range, luxurious rooms. World class service with a relaxed atmosphere.

The Thatch House is a beautiful property, it is like home away from home. The staff are extremely professional yet friendly. The room was stunning, with a lovely view of the lake

Fantastic location with observation terrasse. On 10 safaris, the best guide ever (Wynant): he really knows what he is talking about, calm,….

Gorgeous setting, with beautiful view! We loved the fireplace in the bedroom and the all-open space of the room. The proximity of the beach is a blast!

Wonderful place with luxurious finishes, great breakfast and welcome cake. We had dinner at their restaurant and it was delicious. We got also a free room upgrade, the staff is very nice.

Everything was amazing, but the staff absolutely made it exceptional

Everything, exceptional boutique hotel. The breakfast was amazing and their attention to detail was spot on! Staff so accommodating and friendly.
