Both host, Morne and Simone are extremely friendly. They make you feel at home the minute you get out of the car. The rooms are spacious, clean, the bathroom perfect. The pool to dip in after a long day in the Kruger is perfect. The garden and property in general are very well kept... And the best: the food! Personalised. Simone is an amazing cook. Both breakfast and dinner are like in a star restaurant. Just WOW

Staff made us feel welcome from arrival to us leaving. The pool and bar area was very comfortable and fitting for the African experience! The meals were delicious and plentiful! The mosquito nets over the beds were very welcomed! Having the wild life on the door step was lovely to see. Assistance from Jondre and his team to get our car out of the mud after the welcomed rains was greatly appreciated! I Would definitely recommend a stay at Timbavati!

We felt very special in this beautiful place. The service was outstanding. The pool area was the perfect place after an exhausting safari. Also the view platform is very nice and if you are lucky you can see some animals as well. Plus point: There are three very friendly ostriches in the place. Thanks a lot for a very special time for us. Highly recommended! Dinner was also delicious in a modern and artful Restaurant.

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!

We arrived quite late after a struggle with navigation but had great directiond and such a warm welcome from our host Annie. The house is so beautiful and inviting, with such a great eye for detail. We loved spending time on the veranda and the evenings around the fire was exactly what we needed after long days in the Kruger. We loved the four legged friends that checked in every now and then. We hope to come back and enjoy more of the facilities!
