Great location for Orpen Gate at Kruger. Very peaceful location and great staff. The dinner was delicious and they went the extra mile to cater for my vegan diet.

Nice hosts, they prepared dinner for us for 150 ZAR/person on request, but the dinner was a 3-course buffet. Beef stew with rice, vegetable salad with dressing, Greek salad, and fruit salad for dessert. I have to say the food was the best of the whole holiday I have spent in Africa. Big comfortable bed and pillows, shower for 2. Close to Kruger park.

Our stay at Lion Tree Top Lodge was an absolute dream. The lodge is located in a very quiet private game reserve, surrounded by pure nature and complete tranquillity. Sleeping in the beautifully designed tree houses was a truly unique experience – spotless, well-equipped and with a shower overlooking the lush greenery. The mosquito net and overall feeling of safety made the nights, even with the sounds of wildlife around us, absolutely comfortable. The hosts were incredibly warm and welcoming, and the entire team was exceptionally friendly, attentive and helpful. You can really feel how much passion they put into everything. Breakfast was lovingly prepared each morning, and in the evening we enjoyed a delicious 3-course dinner by the campfire – such a special and intimate atmosphere. We had morning and afternoon game drives in the Manyeleti Game Reserve, and they were perfect in every way. The ranger made sure we experienced wildlife up close and in a respectful way – unforgettable moments! Early morning coffee served before the drives was such a thoughtful and caring touch. The lodge offers outstanding accommodation, a private and peaceful atmosphere, and a genuine connection to nature. Everything was spotless, well maintained and far beyond our expectations. We would come back anytime. Thank you for this wonderful time – it was simply perfect!

The place is incredible. The tent was luxury, with colonial furniture and wonderful decorations. The allocation was perfect, in front of the lake, where some animals came to visit us at night. The staff is amazing: friendly, professional and very well skilled (we already miss Pelon!!). We enjoyed the game drives and bush walks. Special mention to the restaurant: fine cuisine.
